RIP George Carlin
This is a sad day for America. George Carlin, who has had heart trouble in the past, went to St. John’s Heath Center in Santa Monica yesterday complaining of chest pains. He died last night. Carlin was 71-years-old.
“He was a genius and I will miss him dearly,” Jack Burn, who worked with Carlin in the 1960s doing standup.
Not only was George a genius, but he was friggin’ awesome. He was one of the first famous people I know of to come out as an atheist and talk about it unapologetically. To be sure, he was and continues to be an inspiration and will be missed dearly.
