I started listening to Carlin at an age where the last comic I should have been listening to was Carlin!
Regardless, this news really saddens me. He was truly a gifted comic that forged new ground and stood completely on his own.
I got to see him live many many times over the years and I think the greatest part of a live show was looking around when he said something really offensive. You could tell the people who came tothe show who had no idea what Carlin was all about.
I will miss him, making people laugh is truly a gift.
