The web overlords at my workplace finally went and blocked livejournal.com, and I have no computer at home. So I will be unable to check or update my e-doings here as often as I used to. I hope that all of you act so as to make me proud, even when you're not being supervised. Just ask yourselves, "What would Tom Sizemore do?" (Hint: it usually involves ingesting something that is not food.)
The death of George Carlin (announced on June 23rd) was an emotional event for the Poet Nick Moore. He had recently watched all 13 of the HBO specials in Carlin's box set, prompting him to have all seven of the Words That You Can't Say On Television tattooed on some pets that he found while housesitting. Long story short, all stand-up comedians everywhere and forever will consider George Carlin to be the insurmountable pinnacle of comedic analysis and of how brave a joke can be.
He will be deeply missed. But the great thing is, go to the comedy section of a music store and you'll see: he's still here.
George Carlin
(1937-2008)
The night of the day that George's death was announced Nick went to Bear's Place in Bloomington and did a stand-up set. He felt that he was maybe doing the ghost of the great man proud. That set wasn't taped. But, actually, the first set that Nick ever did in a comedy club (back in 2004) has recently surfaced on the Youtubes. Long live stand-up comedy! And thank God for George Carlin.
