I just learned with great sadness that George Carlin passed yesterday, apparently because of heart failure. Myself having been born in the early 70′s, George Carlin has always been a cultural icon to me, and one of my all-time favorite comedians.

I had the great fortune of finally being able to catch his act last year.  He was just as cleaver as ever, and his routine was all that I could ever have wanted it to be. Although branded as a counter-culture troublemaker, his comedy was always well grounded and sensible.  Sensible in that we have to occasionally look back at ourselves and our culture, and see the wrong we are doing in our quest to be right and righteous.

George, you will be missed.
