Reposted on: 31.3.12 1724.57 | I've been a big fan of Mitch since I was in Junior High. I was at one his shows during his very first tour, and have seen him live 4 or 5 times since that. I've probably listened to his CDs about 50 times each. My university almost booked him for a show which would have been this past weekend (they opted for Lewis Black and Stephen Lynch instead). I'm going to go pop in Strategic Grill Locations now.
RIP Mitch Hedberg

He had a great part on "Home Movies" as the "Priest" at a cat's funeral. Good stuff.

Reposted on: 31.3.12 1934.20 | This just plain sucks. I was just going to try to look to see if he had any upcoming tour dates. My girlfriend and I caught him opening for Lewis Black and Dave Attel a little over a year ago and we thought he stole the show. I just bought her his latest album on Saturday. And to top it off, not ten minutes ago I found out a guy I know from worked passesd away on Tuesday.

Reposted on: 31.3.12 2159.01 | Man, that's sad. I loved his delivery, as he'd just tell his joke, and then move on to the next. No story-telling, no set-ups. Just joke-to-joke-to-joke.
One of my personal favorites is when he talked about people's personal memories ruining the true meaning of songs.
"We are the world. We are the children." "Hey, remember that song, honey? When I fucked you in the park?"
RIP, Mitch. | Torchslasher
