The Godfather of Comedy Passes On...

Shocked to hear that George Carlin passed away today. He was the godfather of all standups, made like 20+ comedy albums of original material and did not abandon the stage till the very end. Many humorists and comics cite him as their inspiration and role-model. His fearless way of exposing the dirty underbelly of society with wordplay and wit will be a source of laughs for many decades to come.

If you haven't already heard his stand-up, it's definitely worth a look.
