I was just driving home from work and heard a radio interview with George Carlin on NPR, and I was thinking it was live.
Apparently not! When I hear interviews on NPR now, I’ll have to doubt whether they are actually live or just re-caps or something. I did the identical thing on Tim Russert’s d-day a few days ago!
Anyhow, George Carlin, a famous American comedian who had a few landmark shows (one of which caused enough stir to make it to the supreme court for obscenity rulings) but was also on a children’s show or two, has parted ways with our plane of existence, according to MSNBC.
