Comedian George Carlin, who died Sunday, 
appeared in Rockford eight times, according to my count from Register Star archives: seven at the Coronado and once at the MetroCentre.

Probably an interesting person but no great loss as a comedian.

I sorry Ben that you didn’t find Mr. Carlin a great comedian. For me, his humor and delivery was fantastic. I saw him twice in Rockford and went home with my sides aching from laughter. I also enjoyed his soicial commentary as well as his firing shots at the pompous. I will greatly miss his work.

He was no Jerry Seinfeld. I saw him in Rockford in the 90s.

We saw him in the ’90s at the Coronado. He was pretty funny, but when he went off on a tangent about abortion and the catholic church he lost me. Otherwise he was very observant of goofy everyday life, and poked fun at it.
