    The greatest honor the 21st century can bestow upon a dead artist is to have their life's work reduced to commodity entertainment for nostalgia fiends. That's why so many singers have been brought back as Pepper's Ghost-style holograms in the hope of squeezing a few more dollars from their memory. George Carlin is the latest to become zombie entertainment, and will become a permanent fixture at the forthcoming National Museum of Comedy in New York State. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, chief curator Kliph Nesteroff reveals that a Carlin hologram will be a "gimmick to bring people to Jamestown."
