In terms of people I didn’t know personally, he would probably rank as the biggest influence on my life, or at least be in the top five. He (along with late comedian Bill Hicks)really started me on a path to questioning authority and conventional wisdom. For me, he was a sort of anti-evangelist and made it much easier to admit to myself that I just couldn’t accept the organized religious orthodoxy within which I was raised. He was a hero, not too mention hilarious.

The thing I’ll remember most about George Carlin is having to listen to my father trying to tell his jokes. Carlin was a bit before my time, though I know that he continued producing material right up until his death. I never cared much about him, but I know he’s a legend and a trailblazer in his field, and for that I’ll mourn his loss.

Carlin was one of the best comedians around in terms of the way he would use words and to craft a cadence that was the sort of thing that took time, talent, and skill to develop.

What the hell? Is the somebody going around and killing celebrities? Pollock, Russert, Diddley, Winston, and now Carlin. This is just weird. If you’re famous you better start writing your will.

This stinks.

And excuse me, in honor of Mr. Carlin’s passing I have a bit of a minor rant of my own. The whole death comes in threes thing drives me crazy. There’s no time limit for the third death and who even counts? Most people don’t know who Stan Winston was since he wasn’t really a “celebrity”.
