Yeah, George C. he had an album that might have been called something like... "Brown Baggin' it" it was one of the earliest vinyl recordings I owned. Had his great "The 7 dirty words you can't say on television" on it.
I was hearing today on some talk radio station or something, that when he performed to this day it was like people yellin' for "Freebird" or something,, people would not let him get away with out doing the 7 dirty words.

It's kind of weird and all.. but when icons out there pass like this, it makes you look at your own time on the planet.
Bo Diddley, etc. etc.

He was good. Got to listen to a lot of his stuff on the radio today due to all the stations playing bits and pieces of his work. Funny man for sure. But he did see the world in a very different way. When you listened to him, it not only made you laugh, but think as well. He was very intelligent.

I do remember seeing him in his early days on t.v. (early 60's), dressed in a suit and tie. Funny. It seemed that everyone was decked out like that. Even Willie Nelson!:cheers: How times change.
