Breaking News: George Carlin Passes Away at 71
These are the kind of posts you never like writing as a blogger. At the age of 71, George Carlin has died tonight of heart failure. Being a big fan of stand up and comedy in general, I’ve seen tons of George Carlin’s stuff over the years and this is not only a huge loss to comedy, but a loss to people in general.
If you’re unsure of who Carlin is, you’re apparently not a fan of Kevin Smith movies as he was a frequent vistor to almost all of his films. Some of his largest roles came from Smith’s films such as Dogma (in which Carlin was the Cardinal that created the loophole) and Jersey Girl (where he starred as Bart Trinkle aka Ben Affleck’s father).
Carlin’s standup focused many times on filthy words and his quick speaking and intelligent conversation made him famous and a very entertaining comedian. Often criticizing not only our perceptions as people but the government and problems in society.
Carlin was admitted into St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica this afternoon due to experiencing some chest pains. He passed away around 6 p.m. this evening.
