The Big Electron

I was saddened this morning to find out that the great George Carlin had passed away of heart failure yesterday at the age of 71. He was my all-time favorite stand up comedian. I first heard his routine Jammin' in New York on HBO when I was about 9 or 10 years old, and I fell in love with him. I have since seen all of his HBO specials and enjoyed every minute.

Words may have been his greatest passion, so I'll end this post with some of his - the last bit of Jammin' in New York:

"I think we’re part of a greater wisdom than we will ever understand. A higher order. Call it what you want. Know what I call it? The Big Electron. The Big Electron...whoooa. Whoooa. Whoooa. It doesn’t punish, it doesn’t reward, it doesn’t judge at all. It just is. And so are we. For a little while."

Take care out there George.
