For many of my generation George Carlin was the epitome of the counterculture. He said the things we didn't dare say, he verbalized the things we thought. Along with Richard Pryor, he was one of the bookends who provided us with a vision of who we were. Not only did he make us laugh, he made us think.
Following the death of his wife he seemed to turn more bitter and cynical. But that is understandable. All of us have become more bitter and cynical in the preceding years.
May he rest in peace.
