R.I.P. George Carlin. 1937-2008.
I can’t even begin to express the horrible feeling I got when I discovered the news of the passing of world famous comedic mastermind George Carlin. Here is a quick excerpt from the article on Reuters…
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian 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 on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (2 a.m. British time) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.
George Carlin was possibly my favorite entertainer in all media. I could sit around and quote him word for word for hours and used quotes from him quite often while in discussions with friends and even family. I was fortunate enough to have gotten to see him live in Las Vegas a few years back and it was an unforgettable experience.
R.I.P. George. You will be very sadly missed by your uncountable amount of fans.
