Happy Monday - in spite of the news of the death of comedian George Carlin.
Carlin certainly had a long and storied career. I saw an old video of him recently doing a bit on the Ed Sullivan Show. Clean shaven, bug eyed, and hilariously funny.
While his language was perhaps a bit "saltier" than necessary to make his point, Carlin would always leave you thinking about something.
He had a history of heart problems, and this heart attack is the one that did him in. One of my favorite bits was Carlin talking about Richard Pryor.
Carlin: " So Pryor and me are getting competitive, you know....he had a heart attack, and then I had a heart attack, and then he had another heart attack, and then I had another heart attack, and then he set himself on fire...that's when I said ( insert deletive here ) it !
Carlin...a funny man who left us all too soon.
He was 71.
On another note: I went to the Chattanooga Market this past Sunday...wow ! What a great job Chris Thomas and company have done with that. Congratulations to their staff for a job well done. Lots of different vendors, lots of people browsing, shopping, and enjoying the music. The Chattanooga Market is open each Sunday from 12 Noon until 5:00pm.
