No one could explain things quite like George. It's hard to believe he died eleven years ago tomorrow.

Oh man did he warn us. If only he could have lived to see the Orange Douche and the white supremacist terrorists he warned us about in "Life Is Worth Losing".

I was fortunate enough to see his show a month before his passing. We were in the cheap seats at the back, but he made me feel like I was in the front row.

take little things that every person does and make them funny, like going up or down the stairs and you think there is on more step. Or going into a room in your house and you can't remember remember why you went in there. As a kid it was always a treat when Johnny had George or Richard Pryor on the show.

Such a loss! We could really use him now, although I think it would destroy him to see what we have become.

Listen to this rant from "Life Is Worth Losing". He warned us, we should have listened.
