A fourty just wouldn’t cut it.
If by someone’s work shall you know them, then I know Mitch Hedberg as a deceptively brilliant and utterly hilarious man. I have to credit him with bringing MHG and I together and his passing is sadder than I ever thought it would be. Some people at Metafilter had good things to say and a few great quotes to share.
I want to say more about this, but I’ve honestly never been so sad about the passing of a “celebrity.” I’m glad someone who knew him could say the things we’re all thinking. [road diary entry about Mitch]
I’m going to go home and listen to some Mitch. I miss him already.
Mitch Hedberg’s Official Website: currently down from too many hits: irony, perhaps.
Sorry, dude. He was one of the good ones.

I guess I will never get to hear him in person. He will be missed.

I feel the same way about Mitch. Considering all the high-profile deaths that have occurred in the past month, I am most saddened by his; perhaps because he was so young or perhaps because I can identify with him on several levels (a Minnesota native who loves comedy). In any event, I’d like to think that maybe Mitch is still out there, traveling to the top two corners of the map.
