Barry Crimmins Remembers Carlin

By Tina Dupuy on June 23, 2008 9:03 AM

George Carlin, was as fine a practitioner of standup comedy as ever walked on a stage. Period.

Mr. Carlin didn’t just question authority, he pissed in its face. A master of critical thinking and a genius at making that thinking available to his vast audience, Carlin was a world-class subversive. Kind, generous and down to earth, George Carlin moved to LA without ever “going Hollywood.” Above all, he was one hellaciously funny motherfucker.

I’ll stop now because you can bet if anything annoyed George Carlin during the final days of his life, it was overblown, mawkish salutes to a dead man. — Barry Crimmins
