A Sad Day… RIP George Carlin
I guess one of the upsides to being on the west coast is you are up late enough to hear these stories BEFORE you goto bed.
George Carlin has passed away. (Link 1, 2, 3, 4)
George Carlin was the comedian that got me to like stand up. I still remember seeing some of his early HBO specials on VHS tapes when I was younger. I still consider him one of my favorite comedians, and always had a hearty laugh when I heard his jokes.
He was real, to the point, and not afraid of offending. Although crass, he is one of the few comedians that could bridge the generational gap. Both my parents and I found him funny. This world has lost a great comedian.
Rest In Peace Mr. Carlin.
