At the age of 71, George Carlin died of heart failure sometime yesterday. "Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's Medical Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas."
Just had to add this: "While in the Air Force he started working as an off-base disc jockey at a radio station in Shreveport, La., and after receiving a general discharge in 1957, took an announcing job at WEZE in Boston. 'Fired after three months for driving mobile news van to New York to buy pot,' his Web site says."
He was a funny man. I know I will miss him.
