This is a breaking news: American comedian, George Carlin died yesterday in a hospital in Los Angeles. According to ET Online,
ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has died from heart failure. The man who made famous the “seven words you can never say on television” passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.
Carlin, who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.
I got to know about George Carlin through Yahoo! Launchcast, an Internet radio service offered by Yahoo! Music that plays music based on user ratings and preferences. I found his jokes very humorous indeed and have since then been a fan. I have watched a few of his performances on YouTube and downloaded an audio clip from his website: www.georgecarlin.com
The George Carlin performance I have enjoyed most is “Sanctity of life”. Watch out. He can be very vulgar.
May his soul rest in peace.
