After Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks, George was one of my comedic
heroes.
My friends and I would repeat his pothead observations to each other verbatim
in the 70s and I loved that he went from that to being a cranky iconoclast
later on.
Carlin. Dead. Now that's a dirty word.

Subject: [MOPO] George Carlin-- good bye
hey all,
George Carlin, the dean of counterculture comedians whose biting insights on
life and language were immortalized in his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On
TV" routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71.
Carlin went into a Santa Monica hospital Sunday afternoon complaining of
chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham.
