I'm just heartsick to hear this. We were just listening to his CD while traveling to my son's college last week. My son will be heartbroken when he hears.

Wish I had seen him live

I found out about it when I visited our local paper's website to look for the obituary of a kid my son went to school with this last school year... a 9 year old didn't find out until the funeral was already in progress today.

So sad, my he R.I.P.

In one of his most famous routines, Carlin railed against euphemisms he said have become so widespread that no one can simply "die."

"'Older' sounds a little better than 'old,' doesn't it?," he said. "Sounds like it might even last a little longer. ... I'm getting old. And it's OK. Because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won't have to die — I'll 'pass away.' Or I'll 'expire,' like a magazine subscription. If it happens in the hospital they'll call it a 'terminal episode.' The insurance company will refer to it as 'negative patient care outcome.' And if it's the result of malpractice they'll say it was a 'therapeutic misadventure.'"


We'll miss you George. ~Lisa
