George Carlin Will be Missed (UPDATED)


The man was pretty damn old, born in 1937 and passing away yesterday at age 71. He made a lot of people laugh. Enjoy some of his work and send him off with a chuckle or two. [via Crooks and Liars]

UPDATE
: Here is a short summary of his life at C&L along with a clip of his later work: George Carlin Tribute

I heard about his passing this morning. He was the funniest guy if his generation for sure. At least we have so many hours of cds and videos to watch. Hey did yall check out his last comedy special? It was hilarious but different. You could tell his focus for comedy had changed since he was 70. It was still very non politically correct and he bashed all organized religions imaginable so I guess he didnt change that much, but there was a difference in his flow, he carried himself. I really enjoyed the show. Ill look it up and post the name so we can youtube it up or something. Regardless, he wont be remembered for any one show, movie, or record, and I think that in of itself speaks for his tremendous influence on American culture.
