Toledo Window Box is just plain the most underrated album and material he ever did. I am a Carlin fan also from about the 6th grade, listening endlessly to Wally Lonzo, Class Clown, Window Box, and Place for My Stuff. The HBO would show reruns and more reruns of Carlin at Carnegie and Carlin on Campus. Those were the lazy days of youth, memorizing routines and having the style, wit, and substance of George forever part of my conscious adult mind. At one amazing point in my life, I was able to attend my fourth live show and meet George back stage. The show was in about 1995 or 1996 at Mt. Airy Lodge in the Poconos. After thirty minutes or so talking about the world, music, and show business, I would say that George affirmed my feeling that he had always been a voice to me, a source of education, spirit, and folly. I responded to this blog because I also recognize the importance that George Carlin has played in shaping much of who I have become while following him for 30 years. Some people might follow musicians in spirit, or actors and athletes, but there are those of us out here who understand the genius wit and unmatched performance and presentation for what it was and will always be. Love ya, George. I have just rediscovered my box set of cd’s. Toledo Window Box is just plain the most underrated album and material he ever did.

Rest in Peace George. Also, Paul, thanks for the 'Happy Anniversary' plug! Love from your mom.
