George Carlin, RIP

Saw this quote floating around:

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating …and you finish off as an orgasm. -- George Carlin

EDIT: Turns out it's not actually his.

I think, since we’ve had videos by The Who, My Morning Jacket, and Pearl Jam on here, I’m somewhat obligated to post this clip of My Morning Jacket with Eddie Vedder performing “A Quick One While He’s Away”:





I think it captures a lot of what’s awesome about MMJ: huge amounts of rocking out coupled with quite a bit of silliness. Their new album Evil Urges came out a few days ago, and is also pretty awesome.

On To November

What to say? A huge, important moment for America and the rest of the world.
