George Carlin dead at 71
I’m sad to report George Carlin died of heart failure last night.
Although I disagreed with some of his politics, and was sad to see his comedy deteriorate in recent years into bitter, angry lectures, he was definitely a pioneer. And I respected the fact that he used to skewer the hypocrisy on both sides, as they’re both equally worthy of ridicule. Yeah, some of his work was crude (reference the now-classic “Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television” routine), but the fart-in-church, turd-in-the-punchbowl, anti-establishment nature of his comedy is part of what appealed to me.
My favorite routines of his were firmly based on simple observations of the ridiculous that we too often overlook, like why we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway. Here’s some of Carlin’s good “stuff”.
No tribute would be complete without his comparison of baseball and football:
Rest in peace, man.
