SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — A publicist for George Carlin says the legendary comedian has died of heart failure at a hospital in Santa Monica, Calif.
Jeff Abraham says Carlin went into St. John’s Health Center on Sunday afternoon, complaining of chest pain. Carlin died at 5:55 p.m. PDT. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. It was announced Tuesday that Carlin was being awarded the 11th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
The dean of counterculture comedians, Carlin constantly pushed the envelop with his jokes, particularly with a routine called “The Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV.”
First things first, George Fuck you for making fun of my name.. but I do forgive you..
it’s not my fault i have a goofy name.
yea.. feels like my favorite uncle died.. George has made a massive impact on me and my sense of humor, how i look at god and religion..
I was thinking you never know how much of an impact a celebrity has made on your life or how much they mean to you till they are gone.
specially if it’s one you haven’t had the chance to see preform live. George is right up there with Dimebag Darryl and Freddy Mercury(yea i like queen, WHAT?!?) they are all people who i have admired their work and wanted to see them preform live but never had the money or the time to.
“Okay….WTF. I am going to have to step in here on this. I am a HUGE Limp Bizkit fan. I enjoy the music he writes, and I adore him. I have met him in person, and I will be the first to tell you what a sweet, and thoughtful guy he is. He is one of the only celebrities that I know of that actually keeps in touch with his fans, and has respect for the people that got him to where he is today.
And for your information, I love the Beatles, the Stones, and Zep…I knew the song Faith before they remade it. The fact that you think is some truth to your statement boggles my mind, because obviously you have no idea who Limp Bizkit fans are. To be honest, we are a faithful special bunch with all sorts of different tastes in music, we just have one thing in common….Fred.
So, to put a cap on this…Fred is a great guy, and even if you don’t like the music he makes, you have to give him props for his success.
As for the comment about the SUPER TALENTED bands that are still trying to make it, every band has a path that they are on to try to make it to the top. If they are so SUPER TALENTED and people liked them, then they would be a top band being scouted by record labels so they could make money off them. I don’t buy that load of crap that underground bands are sooo much better than the mainstream music. It has it’s place in the music industry, but, obviously it isn’t what everyone likes, because if it were, they would be famous and making money. That’s the way it goes, there will always be bands who don’t make it, or struggle to the top. That’s life.”
and my reply
because not every band that has more talent in the tips of their fingers then Fred Worst and Limp Dicklick are going to conform to what the Record Industry want them to be.. the bottom line is this.. the ONLY REASON limp bizkit ever made it anywhere is because Fred was the VP of the label his band was on.. and had the means to get his music onto MTV which spoon feeds the masses what music they should like..
I don’t watch MTV for the music they play for that reason. I listen to very few radio stations and the ones i do, i listen to the talk radio to laugh.. not to listen to whatever the record labels deem popular.. in fact most of the music i listen to don’t get air play on regular radio stations because the music does not conform to any of what the stations call “Radio Friendly”.
bands like Black sabbath and led zeppelin had massive fallowing WAY before they ever got their music played on the radio.. I’ll bet you money that no one beyond the local bar scene knew who the hell they(limp bizkit) were as a band before they got their first video on MTV.
my older brothers were listening to the stones and led zeppelin months and even years before they got air play in the USA.
Fred only is popular because of where he works and who he knows.. as far as his talent goes.. his music was a fad, he always seemed to be sticking his nose into other peoples records/CD’s to get his name out there.. wasn’t he on a live version of a disturbed song? i bet he got paid for that.. just because he wanted to sing on stage with the guy that normally preforms the song by himself with his band.
I believe he was also on another video with a rap star but that could have been one of his own videos for all i know.
as for his acting and his directing.. have not seen them to make any real judgment on them.
EDIT:
lets not forget that others in that industry think he’s a total douche bag.. like Zakk Wylde.
The fallowing Q&A is from metal-rules.com
How did the rivalry with Fred Durst and Limp Biscuit start originally?
Some record exec told me “If you change your image Zakk and be more like Limp Biscuit you’ll sell more records”. I’m like ” You gotta be kidding me? Limp Biscuit, they’re the Apex? ” I said said good, it’s on. War has been declared. I go ”let me get this straight. If I start wearing shorts and a backwards Yankee hat that’s gonna fix everything?” I said ”are you kidding me?” He said “Well this whole biker thing with the vest and wristbands and the whole 9 yards”. Well I go “What do you want me to do? Alright, I’ll cut my hair off, shave the beard. Is that gonna make me sexy? Whatta ya high?” Fuck this!! It’s on Now!
The whole thing with Fred Durst, he’s the antithesis of everything Black Label stands for. The day I start dating supermodels ?I’ve been married almost 20 years. The thing is I got 3 kids. With him its all about being famous, everything has got to be a career move. That’s why we can’t stand him. The pure fluff, cheese dick, he’ll show up for the opening of a box of chocolates that motherfucker. Any premiere, this, that, that, any photo opportunity he’s there. Hell when we did that movie Rockstar he was there for that. Everybody showed up for the thing. I wasn’t even going to show up for it cause I was in the movie. Fuck this is cheesy, this red carpet shit. He eats it up.
Personally I wouldn’t be able to name one of his tunes.
Remember the record company exec that was telling me this? I said “see if he’s around as long as I am.” Fuck ‘em, we’ll go for it. Who fuckin’ cares about him? He’s already hung himself already. He’s given himself all the rope he needs.
Just give him enough rope and he’ll hang himself.
He already has. (Laughs) Why do you think Wes left the band? Everybody in Black Label fuckin’ hates the fuckin’?ya know! Doin’ meet and greets and hangin’ out. Cool! At least somebody says it cause we fuckin’ hate that motherfucker too. We’re just sayin what everyone else fuckin’ thinks.
or the fact of the origin of the band name is fucking disgusting.
Soggy biscuit or limp biscuit is a male masturbation game reportedly played in typically teenage male-oriented groups in which the participants stand around a biscuit masturbating until ejaculating onto it; the last person to do so must eat the biscuit.[1] The term is thought to have originated in Australia sometime in the 1960s.[1]
Although the terminology may differ slightly, the notability of the game is such that variations on the theme are referred to in popular culture, examples including Stephen Fry’sThe Liar, the German movie Crazy and Skinless’s song “Scum Cookie”.
Anyone willingly naming their band after such a thing clearly has issues.
