71 years old, heart failure.
Shit, I grew up listening to this guy. Knew the seven words you will never hear on TV long before I could spell cat. :(

I've always considered him a voice of sanity in an insane world. Through his comedy, there was still always reason and common sense. He will be dearly missed. It is a sad day.

Wow. I usually find out someone dies and then come to the forums to talk about it... this time I just found out right here.
If anyone wants to write a quick paragraph on him and how you enjoyed his stuff, I'll post it as site news.
RIP George. He did look pretty old in that last special.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Carlin. You will be missed.

I have fond memories of my brother sneaking a Carlin cassette, I think it was called Indecent Exposure up to our room when I was ten or so. We sat giggling quietly for hours at the Seven Words bit.
It's sad to see him go.

My wife, mom, and I were talking a while back and, I don't remember how, but the 7 words subject came out, which I proceeded to rattle off in the same order Carlin usually recited them. My wife asked me why I would remember the list in a specific order and I asked "Doesn't everybody?"
I remember when my parents thought I was able to handle listening to adult humor and they let me watch Carlin on HBO. Hooked ever since.
Will it blend? That is the question.
