The icon of my youth passed away today. The man I used to sneak to watch and listen to. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that my parents finally admitted that they listened to him "on occasion" as I was growing up. My mother wasn't always happy about his language.
The world has come a long way since then regarding comedians and language. When George said the "7 dirty words you can't say on television" little did he know that someday only one or two of those words would be left on the list.
It broke my heart and brought a tear to my eye when they made the announcement. I guess as we get older and parts of our youth start fading away this is how we feel. I guess this is how our parents felt when Amos and Andy, The Lone Ranger and Superman all passed into entertainment heaven.
And now just a small example of why we loved George:
