George



Like Bo Diddley, I saw George Carlin in Jacksonville during my brief stay there. It was my first stand-up comedy show. A true lover of language, George was as articulate and funny as ever. He had to use notes for his act because it would have been next to impossible to remember his litany of jokes. It was a treat to experience him with my family on my 21st birthday. Wherever he his now, I'm sure he's rebelling against something.

Carlin's use of language was astounding. And what a love/hate he had for pop culture in general.
