Geroge Carlin Dead at 71
It's just a sad day. Last night my leader, George Carlin, passed away of heart failure.
At 71 years, he was no Spring Chicken. And with a history of heart problems, one would think this not too unexpected.
From his somewhat cheesy impersonations in the late 50's to his 7 Dirty Words to cocaine binges to becoming a very insightful and brilliant political observer, George was true to one person and only one; himself. By doing so, he was true to his legions of fans as well. He was unfalteringly consistent.
This is rambling, and I know it. Waking to this news this morning was crushing. Crushing. It is not a good day.
George, I know that right now you are "down there, looking up at us".
Simon says go fuck yourself.
