For those of you haven’t heard the very, very sad news, George Carlin passed away yesterday at the age of 71 due to heart failure.
George Carlin was not only a fantastic comedian but a hero who accomplished much for free speech and bringing awareness of the importance of our principal freedoms.
For those who haven’t heard of him (if you’re outside of the US this is entirely possible), see this video and this video for a small sampling. In addition, if you’ve ever seen one of the many variations of the usage of the word fuck videos – that’s George Carlin (well, the videos are added by others, but the words are written and spoken by George Carlin in most of the videos). He truly was a brilliant and amazing man who I hope history will remember forever.
Rest in Peace – I miss you already.
