George carlin, 71, comedianThe funnyman arrived as a comic during the Vietnam era, peaking with his 1972 routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television."He died last week of heart failure. Director Kevin Smith shared these memories:They say you should never meet your heroes. I've found this a good rule to live by, but as with any rule, there's always an exception. My first exposure to George Carlin was in 1982, when HBO aired his "Carlin at Carnegie" stand-up special. He blew my doors off. Whether he was spinning a yarn about Tippy, his farting dog, or analyzing the contents of his fridge, I was, as they say, in stitches.And that was before he got to the "Seven Words."
