Although not well known here in the UK, he had his heyday in the sixties I guess. Almost always high on something or other, and mixing his favourite booze too, lost him work I'm afraid. He could be very shocking! 71...no age to die.
RIP George.

A sad loss indeed. I 'found' George Carlin in the very late '70,s when I was working with some American servicemen. very rude, but as has been said, a great and acidic social critic.

Possibly best known as Rufus, the cool dude from the future, in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) and in the follow up Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)

If religion, politics, history and personal ambition/greed weren't influencing the issues, would it be so hard?

I've just spent the last hour listening to excerpts from George Carlin radio interviews on the radio - a very smart and funny man, with a healthy distrust of authority.
