Raise you one: And re-raise: The absolute MASTER of telling it like it is. George, wherever you are, you know we love you.
George at his best? Hardly. Speaking of a possible GREAT Schadenfreude...Rush Limbaugh died within the last week. My "Whaaaaaa!" is missing gratefully.
You are SO right! Life without George definitely took a step down. I consider Chris Rock's comedy appearances to be on par with George. Gasp! He's a lot different yet he can be just as funny as George Carlin was. imho.
Quite a few guitarists like to put down Jimi, probably because they envy his talent. Holy macaroni did Jimi Hendrix play the crap out of those Stratocasters of his! Met a cousin of his once in Seattle. Helped make my day it did.
I was isolated during his time at the top. but this and nothing compares to you will keep him in my memory..Quite an update on "Singing in the rain." A live performance in the rain! In a stadium, utilizing a marching band! One of the very best torch songs of my Generation.
