Third grade, 1976, I stood in the corner of the playground at Hawthorne Elementary, repeating the titillating Super Swear Words (shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits (bonus words: fart, turd & twat) I'd just learned from George Carlin. Yep, I was that kid, the one who taught the rest of the neighborhood what they were desperate to know ♥I can't see a Dodge Pickup without thinking of George "They're labeled with instructions, on the front it says *dodge* and the side says *ram*" I do believe it's George's reasoning that led me away from feminism ;) His humor, even the most recent show he did a few years ago, has always rang TRUE in my heart.
Like the rest of America, I shall be sitting in front of YouTube with a box of kleenex, stoking my renewed jealousy of those who today get to have a beer with George in Heaven. I'm thinking he gets extra points for this interview as Jesus ♥ Our planet isn't the same for having you and it'll never be the same without you. Cheers!

What a great tribute to an amazing man. He was a huge hero for us as well, though my friends and I must have been in 7th grade(?) when that album with the swear words came out. What an amazing kid and influence you must have been Diana!
it is a sad world without the great and talented Mr. Carlin. I remember learning vocabulary from him at a very young age. If a goose is geese, how come a mouse isn't meese????
