George Carlin died yesterday.
He went to the UCLA Medical Center complaining of chest pain and died from a heart attack there.
He was 71.
I've a soft spot in my heart for comedians, and for those who make you think especially. He was one of those...going from counter-culture comedian to someone who actually said shit to make you think.
He will be missed.
The ironic thing was...XM Radio's uncensored comedy channel ran a special on him yesterday afternoon. It was a good listen, a good interview. It's well worth downloading, and can be found here as a podcast. (If you don't like or have iTunes, I recommend Juice.)
He taught me one thing. There are no bad words, just bad context.
