i was born in 1937 and take his death take his death and take his death as of another sibling dead and me alive and of no note myself but one who notes and sorrows and who wonders what’s it all about for such as george carlin were so confucian in how they viewed life: that we learn by ONE:reflection or TWO:imitation or THREE: experience. this last the THIRD WAY my mom called “the college of hard knocks”. my heros and carlin is one experienced this the hardest way. and carlin also reflected and angered and angered more and he also imitated he followed the best and learned from the best and observed and then THEN just had enough and squittered on the assholefuckers-the evilfascistpigs who inhabit wrongly our PRESIDENT’S house as “RESIDENTS” BUT not our ‘president’. curse the evil assholes to one of dante’s circles of hell. choose the circle. point out the evil. BLESS george carlin and honor his life. edward mycue

One of the things I loved best about George Carlin was the way he dissected language and looked at it under his microscope. I saw him in Seattle last September and he ranted about the things people say to the bereaved — he was spot on!

Collins is such a simp. Hoagland is much more tough-minded. Not to mention funnier. You should start your friend on Hayden Carruth — I recommend the poems from Brothers I Loved You All, especially “Regarding Chainsaws.”

I recently loaned some Hoagland to one of my snarky, tattooed colleagues. It’s more subtle than the all-out rant. But I think it will speak to him. We’ll see. He was trying to make his way in to poetry via Billy Collins. Sometimes disappointed idealists need a louder voice than that.
