      Yeah, we lost a national treasure when he died. I was really lucky to have seen him live. I think he had a cold, because he sounded sick and he was a little off, but it was absolutely worth it anyway.

        Lucky. I wanted to go see him when I was 7 years old in the late 80s. My mom wouldn’t take me. She said “he says 7 things you can’t say on tv.” I said “I know. I want to hear what they are.”

        My mom decided that wasn’t a good enough reason to go take her 1st grader to a George Carlin show in 1989.
