George Carlin June 24, 2008
Posted by ocmpoma in : other , trackbackThis is, I think, the first time the death of a celebrity has actually felt like a loss for me — in the past, it’s always been more of a “that’s a shame” experience. But to hear the news that George Carlin passed away… well, like I said, I feel loss, as, I should think, just about every American who appreciates free thought, free speech, and the hypocrisies and foibles of being human, to say nothing of the fun-house that is American culture feels.
Here’s DrugMonkey explaining why we shouldn’t be too melodramatic in our recognition of Carlin’s passing.
Here’s the Washington Post indicating that the Kennedy Center is going ahead with awarding Carlin the Mark Twain Prize, a video of a 1997 interview with Carlin is on the page.
