George Carlin was hilarious. Unfortunately, this comedic genius passed away on Sunday due to heart problems. This, combined with Tim Russert’s recent untimely passing, should put a new light on heart health for this country – or at least we can hope.
Anyway, I was a fan of Carlin, though I didn’t necessarily agree with his uber-hippie point of view on government and religion. Doesn’t matter, though, the man was still hilarious and someone who could tell a joke that was five minutes long and the audience would be with him every step of the way. When you look at today’s comedians most of the good ones are sharp witted and able to make a biting, hilarious point in a few seconds. None of them are as adept as Carlin was at telling an intelligent story and bringing the entire audience along for the ride.
Comedic brilliance.
