George Carlin didn’t die…he “passed away”.
Comedian George Carlin died this past weekend from heart failure. This is sad news indeed, coming from a fan of his work. I’ve followed his line of comedy for about 12 years now and he was my first major introduction into counter-culture. George Carlin also inspired my belief that stand-up comedians are the modern day philosopher. Alas, the current generation is desperately lacking in comedians of Carlin’s wit and wisdom.
The world is less funny without you, George. You’ll be missed.

Gee. He was just here a minute ago.

I find it awesome that despite his age, he was incredibly lucid. In fact, I read that he had just performed the weekend before his death. You could tell he was falling apart physically, but he kept all his facilities and still up for going on stage!
