Originally Posted By jasmine7 I just heard this on the radio, and I'm just stunned. Carlin always seemed like one of those guys who'd be around forever. He was a family favorite here, too. My dad really loved him, and my stepdad and I love him, too. I took my mom and stepdad to see him a few years ago, and it was a great night (my mom's not so big on him though, lol; it was for my stepdad's birthday). One of my favorite Carlin characters had to have been Rufus from the Bill & Ted movies. He's gonna really be missed.

Originally Posted By LVBelle Wow, I can't believe it. WonderingAlice, we actually talked about going to see him but Chris' schedule just didn't permit it. Wish we had made it work now.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Me, too... I've never seen him live. With all the opportunities we've had locally, I feel really cruddy about that.

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs He was also the very first host on SNL; I'm sure they'll probably re-air it again this week. Growing up in the 80s, I was familiar with him in the 'Bill & Ted' movies, and then the Kevin Smith films (Dogma et al). Seeing him on the PBS show Shining Time Station was a bit of a surprise though.
