Carlin DID have amazing cajones man. I have a similar Carlin story myself…………..
The wife and I have been living on a boat for the last 4 years waiting for this real estate bubble to burst. One night we launched our Dinghy and cruised over to Humphrey’s to watch Carlin.
The VERY first thing he says after getting on stage is…..”Something people just don’t ever talk about are P***Y Farts!”…………Holy crap, talk about an opener!
Needless to say I Dinghy-d by myself to see Carlin the next year. The guy was an AMAZING comic! I don’t thing ANYONE will ever fill his shoes.
