Memories on George Carlin
George Carlin died last Sunday of heart disease. Many famous people said words of sorrow and lots of good memories about him.
His colegue Paul Rodriguez said: “He was more than just a comic. His routines became part of the American lexicon! They came to say a lot about America and its times!”
Everybody complyed that he had some magic routine that he called “Seven Words”.
Jamie Masada said in frot of people who was assembled in the church:“Some people think the routines were all about saying dirty words, but it wasn’t about that at all!”,andd than added “He had a different motivation and the motivation was free speech. George believed when he was on stage that was like being in his church and he could say anything he wanted there…”
Somebody on the reunion remembered that Carlin said once: “I was always out of step! I left school in ninth grade, I got kicked out of the Air Force, I got kicked out of the choir and the altar boys and summer camp and three schools and I was a pot smoker when I was 13 in the early ’50s. I was always a lawbreaker and a kind of outlaw rebel!”
