George Carlin: 1937 - 2008

I of course knew he wasn't going to be around forever, but it still came as a shock to find out that it happened so soon. My favorite comedian, the great George Carlin, has died of heart failure.




















Here's a Carlin bit called "A Modern Man", one of my all-time favorites, from his last album, "Life Is Worth Losing". If this doesn't show what a master wordsmith he was, nothing will.

I'll miss the hell out of ya, George. Now you'll be able to watch "the freak show" from one of the best seats in the house.
