George Carlin -Modern Man Rap - From Life is Worth Losing (Tribute from fan 2010).
I loved this so much I decided to fit and edit some music to it, slowing down, and pausing in places.
RIP George. You are my favourite comedian, down to earth, and highly intelligent.
Death and tribute
On June 22, 2008, Carlin was admitted to Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California after experiencing chest pains. He died later that day at 5:55 p.m. of heart failure. Carlin was 71 years old. His death occurred one week after his last performance at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and he had further shows on his itinerary.[21][57][58] According to his wishes, Carlin was cremated, with his ashes scattered, and no public or religious services of any kind were held.[59][60] Two of the networks he performed on changed their schedule in tribute to Carlin. HBO devoted several hours to broadcast eleven of Carlin's fourteen HBO specials from June 25 to June 28, 2008, including a twelve-hour marathon block on their HBO Comedy channel. Meanwhile, NBC scheduled a rerun of the premiere episode of Saturday Night Live which Carlin hosted.[61][62][63]
Both Sirius Satellite Radio's "Raw Dog Comedy" and XM Satellite Radio's "XM Comedy" channels ran a memorial marathon of George Carlin recordings the day following his death. Another tribute was the "Doonesbury" comic strip on Sunday, July 27, 2008.[64]
Louis C. K. dedicated his stand-up special Chewed Up to Carlin.
Lewis Black dedicated his entire second season of Root of All Evil to Carlin.
An episode of Larry King Live paid tribute to Carlin, featuring comics Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Maher, Roseanne Barr and Lewis Black. Carlin's daughter and brother were also interviewed by King. The next day, The New York Times published a tribute to Carlin written by Jerry Seinfeld.[65]
An oral history, edited by Carlin's daughter, Kelly, was scheduled to be published in 2009. The book will contain stories from Carlin's friends and family, and cover the considered high points of his career, as well as the considered low, including his drug and alcohol addiction.[66]
For a number of years prior to his death Carlin had been compiling and writing his autobiography, planning to release it in conjunction with a second long worked on project, a one man Broadway show tentatively titled New York City Boy covering essentially the same topics. After his death his collaborator on the projects, Tony Hendra, edited the autobiography for release as Last Words (ISBN 1439172951). The book covers Carlin's life up to around Life is Worth Losing, with the final chapter detailing would-be future plans, including the planned one man show. The book was released one year and four months after Carlin's death.
