Today, I mourne the loss of a personal hero.
George Carlin, comedy legend passed away last night due to heart complications. He was 71. Carlin had recorded over his 50 year show business career; 22 comedy ablums, 14 HBO specials, hosted many TV shows, including the very first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975.
He had battled addition, to both alcohol and cocaine, but had just recently become sober.
Carlin was most known for bits like "7 Dirty Words You Cant Say on TV", and "Hippy Dippy Weather Man", as well as "Baseball vs Football".
Just this past Saturday, Carlin was announced to be awarded the "Mark Twain" award for Lifetime Achievment in Comedy.
Without much more doddering on my part, here is something most likely offensive to a lot of people.
FUCK YOU GEORGE! You were great.
