I just found out that comedian Mitch Hedberg died yesterday ostensibly from a heart problem. They don't know if drugs were involved. He was born with a heart problem and had a lot of anxiety over it, the news said. He was arrested in Austin for heroin possession two years ago. I wonder how he escaped prison.
He was hilarious. John Knowles told me about him a couple years ago. Great delivery. Here's one of my favorite Hedberg bits:
"I think Pringles' initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up, a big truckload of potatoes arrived. But Pringles is a laid back company. They said 'Fuck it. Cut em up.'"
