In Memory of George Carlin

George Carlin is, without question, one of my all time favorite comedians. Sadly, he passed away yesterday in Las Angeles.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (2 a.m. British time) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

A final tribute clip. (warning: lot’s of f-bombs)
