George Carlin and Napalm

It's definitely a sad day. We just saw George Carlin here in Houston this year. It was the second time that I've had the honor of seeing him perform live and it was amazing! He really opened the minds and ears of a society that was closed minded and unimaginative. He reminded America how to question authority and even our own social oddities. He rambled on about the mundane and even the most serious issues we still face today. Most importantly, he reminded America how to laugh at itself in the face of it's own shortcomings and failures, to place things into perspective.

"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck."
- George Carlin
