Carlin is Still Around

On July 29, 2008 by D. Bell

CNN reports that Harlemite, George Carlin, “Gets the Last Laugh on Death.”  His final album, “It’s Bad for Ya” was released today.  His daughter Kelly notes that it is a return to his playful goofiness.  But, in other ways Carlin is still around:

…thanks to his daughter and brother, Patrick, who spent a weekend earlier this month scattering his ashes at his favorite haunts around the country. They stopped in front of the nightclubs he played in New York City’s Greenwich Village and at a summer camp in New Hampshire where, as a child, he received a necklace for winning the drama competition. He was wearing it the day he died.

Accompanied by old friends from the neighborhood, they also stopped at a park on the edge of Harlem where Carlin grew up.

“The wind blew him around a little bit when Kelly threw his ashes,” Patrick Carlin recalled.
