George Carlin, stand-up comedy icon, died of heart failure in Los Angeles last night, furthering an odd phenomenon I’ve been noticing in June of 2008—the death of icons. The month began with fashion divinity Yves Saint Laurent dying of brain cancer on June 1st. The next day, Bo Diddley, a key figure in the American blues and rock n’ roll movements, died of heart failure. The fashion and music worlds are suddenly left without two of their greats.
