Dead at 71.
Sux.
Washingtonpost.com is reporting that the legendary George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital Sunday, a spokesman said. He was was 71.
As I was going through the categories I noticed that I could use more than half of them to reference his material and his life. he was a fucking funny guy.
Life is Worth Losing was a weird special. It made more great points than usual with a lot less sarcasm than usual. I love the suicide bits though…
The man paved the way for every modern comic.
I got into a LOT of trouble when I played “Class Clown” for my parents back in the 70’s… totally unacceptable.
Now, my mother reads his books. Go figure.
That’s just too bad, because he’s burning in hell right now.
In that case, I’d gladly go to hell.
