George Carlin died last night of heart failure. He was 71.
I never got to see Carlin perform in person. When he came to Orlando I remember having a prior obligation so I missed seeing him perform.
In 1978, Carlin ended up in a court battle in front of the Supreme Court over his "Seven Words" routine. The Supreme Court ruled that the routine was indecent, but Carlin continued to perform the routine. As a result, he was arrested several times. All of the cases were dismissed.
Here's that routine
