Mitch Hedberg Tragically Dead at 37

Mitch Hedberg (February 24, 1968 - March 30, 2005)

I'm ashamed to say that when I first heard it I thought it was an April Fool's joke. I still want to that to be true. But I'm seeing reports about it in a lot of places (USA Today, Comedy Central, Wikipedia, etc). This is a tragedy. Mitch was a true, up-and-coming legend-to-be in comedy. He was actually already a comedic legend in my book. I know he made me laugh harder than any other comedian ever has. I don't think there will ever be anyone like him again. He was not your ordinary standup comedian. He was such a unique dude. Seeing him do his bit in Detroit a couple months ago suddenly means a lot more to me now...
