just finished memoir by kellie carlin, comic george's daughter. glad i did, as it showed her dad in a broader more human light, as a mortal man who suffered from a very bad heart for much of his adult life. a courageous man who in the face of death (he would be dead in 4 months, and knew his heart was failing him) gave this great stand up performance for his last hbo special. despite failing health, and an aging brain, it showed he was still at or close to the top of his game. as usual, he saves his best stuff for last. one bit in particular resonates with me, in which he tells us why he doesn't like to be around most sheeple beyond a minute or 2 (because he can't stand listening to the stupid and uninteresting things they have to say).
