Krassner on Carlin

The world is a lonelier place. George Carlin was irreplaceable- I too remember reading the Realist, llistening to Dylan, the Beatles, people like George Carlin who reminded me of Paul Simon's line "I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce."

Hard to figure out the truth anymore... I'm still searching. I look at Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann, never really sure. Does any musician nowadays come close, or are they simply naive? Am I naive? It's like looking for God- what do I know? I know nothing.

I had so much respect for George Carlin that I felt better about that.
