George Carlin dead at 71: One of the funniest comedians of our time as well as our best social critic!

George Carlin died on June 22nd at 5:55 P.M. at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, CA from an apparent heart attack. Carlin was a disciple of Lennie Bruce. After Bruce’s death, Carlin took up the torch, not only to continue “doing bits” but establishing himself as one of our best social critics, calling it as he saw it. Some criticized him for his “offbeat” humor, but Carlin could hit the nail right on the head! He will be sorely missed by anyone who actually liked to clear their heads of all the bullshit out there!!

It’s the same bullshit up here!
