Comedian George Carlin dies at 71 | Reuters (http://uk.reuters.com/article/mediaNews/idUKN2339172520080623)
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.
This is a damn shame. I loved watching George Carlin, his stand up is amongst my favorites because he never had any boundaries. It sucks now that he's gone. R.I.P. George Carlin.

Was lucky enough to see him live one time, well into his career once his reputation had already been solidly entrenched, and he still managed to have half the audience leaving in horror. A true legend and innovator.

RIP.I just watched half of Jay and Silent Bob on Saturday night and Carlin's part had me cracking up again even though I've seen that movie a couple of times.
There aren't many people out there as clever with wordplay has George Carlin was. He really was a great comic and he will be missed.
