George Carlin died last night at the age of 71 after being admitted to a hospital for heart failure. Carlin was a comedy genius that never let the world around him dictate his material. Besides a brilliant stand-up career he also acted in films such as "Dogma", "BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES," and others. He also was an accomplished author that used comedy to make people think with titles like; "
When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?," and "Brain Droppings." He was one of my all-time favorite comedians and I am going to miss his work very much. So if your not familiar with his work now would be the time to become acquainted with a legend.
