RIP George

George Carlin just passed away yesterday. Now, I know there are a lot of people out there that won't be too sad about that. They might actually be happy to have his fowl language and abrasive demeanor off the stage and airwaves. But me, I am going to miss him. I am going to miss his honesty and fearless desire to "say it like it is." And yes, he did use very colorful language, but you got used to it and saw it as his way to express his anger and frustration about politics, religion, and people in general. And as a person who often gets frustrated and pissed off when I see things that don't make sense or aren't done well, I enjoy comedians like Carlin and his pupils Carlos Mencia and Lewis Black, cause they put into words all the things that piss me off.

The great thing about any artist, though, is that their art will continue to live on after they have died, making them immortal. But in an ironic twist, one of his most recent routines is a bit was titled "Life is Worth Losing." I checked it out this morning as a somewhat morbid, but in my mind appropriate, tribute to George.
