I was very sad to hear that actor, comedian, writer and all around funny guy George Carlin died today. In a world of half truths and whole lies, he entertained the world with his insight and observations of the world around him. He was the first host of Saturday Night Live and had a supreme court ruling passed for his actions on a New York radio station regarding free speech and obscenity (look it up). I could list his stand up, books and movie appearances but it would not even come close to giving him the credit that he deserves. He worked doing what he was best at up until the week that his life ended. He had reportedly had a show in Las Vegas last week that was his last. This makes me extremely upset because I am slated to go to Las Vegas in July for work. It would have been nice to make it to one of his shows even in his elder years. Thanks for the comedy George.
