I was a little young for the '60s ... I was born toward the end of the 1970s. It's amazing that Carlin spanned so much time; that he spoke so well to two generations.
One evening I heard him being interviewed on the radio. He told the interviewer ( Terri Gross, maybe? ) about his mother reading the newspaper to him every morning. He said he had a strong memory of her reading a sentence, then pausing to say "The words, George! They cut like steel. Do you hear the drama?" then going back and rereading it to him. Language can be a strange thing to show respect for like that, but ... we're social animals. George Carlin was onto something, there.
He'll definitely be missed.

Guess I'll have to dig through the vinyl and play some of his old stuff. He will be missed.
