SAD STUFF
George Carlin passing away at 71 over the weekend is obviously big news for his fans worldwide. Like millions, I've been a fan of his comedy for a very long time.
It was especially ironic since my wife and I spent part of the weekend spring cleaning around the house and there were several vigorous discussions around how much stuff had accumulated in the closets. Of course there were debates about which bits of stuff should be kept and which should go.
It all brought to mind my favorite bit by George Carlin around STUFF. Fortunately, I was able to find it on YouTube. It's five minutes long, and if you haven't seen it, it's a treat. Fair warning, George has always used "salty" language:
It's a great perspective on Stuff and the real meaning of life, and one that bears reminding ourselves constantly over time.
And these days, we've got even more digital stuff to worry about that wasn't even on the radar when George raised the very important issues around stuff.
R.I.P. George, and thanks for all the great belly-laughs.
