First Rock 'n Roll Comedian Dead
06/23/08 | by Mr. Moderator
I'm sure you heard before I did that George Carlin died yesterday. I associate him with '70s rock 'n roll culture more than any other comedian. Was there a "rock 'n roll comedian" before him?
Carlin was never a personal favorite, but I often found myself laughing at his bits, and I like this quote attributed to him:
“Scratch any cynic,” he said, “and you’ll find a disappointed idealist.”
Not safe for work (unless you're, like, driving a big rig or working as a fishmonger).

When I was 18, I had more Carlin albums than anything else except for the Beatles.
The only standup that can rival him for me is Pryor.
