Monday, June 30, 2008 at 04:00 PMJohn, thanks for the stroll down memory lane. I was in my twenties and had a mad crush on George Carlin. He made some of the sad days tolerable and some of the dark days brighter. It is good to see someone else will miss him. Remember the bit about "stuff" everybody has their own stuff and they take it with them. Thanks again John! Annie

Hope you're doing well, and all is good your way.

John...a nice tribute - George Carlin was an icon. He will be sorely missed by his peers and by his fans. I can still feel the laughter in my mind.
