The last words of a master of humor comedy and sarcasm I ll miss George Carlin
>> One of the absolute best autobiographies or memoirs you re likely to read
I ve been a George Carlin fan from before I could walk my dad was a fan of his but more so the earlier works Al Sleet was his favorite Me I was more fond of the latter work even when I was 12 or so I knew this man knew what he was talking about he made the most sense of any public figure I knew of at the time and even after his death this still stands as true
Like the majority of his fans / admirers I was completely devastated when I found out he died At that point in my life most of the people I d looked up to had been dead for some time so he was like the last living God or something goofy like that In my opinion he deserved the Mark Twain award that he received posthumously he was our time s Twain he saw past all the idiocy and ignorance that festered in the veins of America and called the country out on it all with sharp and intelligent humor
This book is a fantastic experience dead for nearly 2 years now reading it is almost as if he s sitting right there with you telling you some of the stories from his life about his mom his dad his early years the low times the high truly a phenomenal feeling
