I’m seriously in mourning right now. I can’t quite express how sad and dark the world seems to me tonight.
Is that weird, that the death of a stand up comedian is affecting me in a profound way?
I remember watching his HBO special when I was like six years old. I learned what was funny by watching him. I loved his de-construction of words and phrases and the things that we say every day and how really fucked up our thinking is.
Everyone of course knows about his Seven Words… but the rants on “Stuff” and “Having a Nice Day” were classics that crack me up just thinking of them. His book “Braindroppings” is hysterical.
Fuck. I hate getting older and watching my heroes die.
It’s a sad day indeed. He’ll be greatly missed.

I just heard a little while ago. Turned on CNN, started going to the blogs, hear about his death just as Dave’s Blogography page loaded. I am in shock. Such a funny guy. Sad way to end a wonderful fucking weekend (pun intended) Looking forward to your show on the 25th!

He was really amazing. I was shocked to learn he was 71. His wit made him seem ageless.

The only comedian I can think of that I would mourn more is Steve Martin.

Well, he was a smart comedian, and his original albums were outstanding. I saw him live a few years ago, though, and he was just angry and unfunny, which was unfortunate.

How sad. He may have been foulmouthed but he was one of the eras finest comics.

He was an outstanding and unique comedian; a national treasure in the world of comedy. I, for one, know that I will miss him.
He was always the smartest man in the room. He’ll be missed.

Karl – I am still really bummed.
sodapop – I found out as I was going live with a show.
Charlene – Yeah, it was a sad way to end the weekend.
ACG – 71 is still too young. Though he did do more than his fair share of partying.
hello – Exactly. He had great timing.
Whall – SHUT UP! Steve Martin will not die.
Avitable – Sorry your live experience was bad, mine was fantastic!
Robguy – Foulmouthed? Carlin?
Crail – Me too.
Dragon – Well, ONE of the smartest.:D I did see him live once, so technically we were in the same room….
I am going to marry Steve Martin and we’ll have lil white haired babies.

Hey Jester:
It is sad to see Mr. Carlin dead. However, I do believe this with all my heart: He now knows that there is a God! I hope your day is going well.
The Doctor!
