They Can Take Michael Jackson

They can take Farrah Fawcett, but Billy Mays?

I'm going to miss getting yelled at all the time.

Why God, why?

I enjoyed his weirdly aggressive appearance on Conan the other day.  A man with a healthy beard like that should be indestructible!

Yeah this sucks. He was one of the great pitchmen of our time, a more overbearing Mike Levey (remember him?). Oddly enough, I'll miss Billy Mays the most of all the people that passed this week. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson may have had a greater cultural impact, but they hadn't been relevant for awhile. Billy Mays, however, was ubiquitous in American pop culture.

He was the Ron Popeil of his generation and he will be missed.

RIP.

Crying Eagle, I love you.

So, in my vague awareness of junk culture, I thought Billy Mays was the ShamWow guy ... second hand knowledge. How wrong I was! Vince the Shamwow guy was his archenemy, I guess ...

Sky Saxon had been musically dead for quite some time as far as I know.

I understand that at one point in the 70s (before he started bugging Redd Kross)he was going to put the entire bible to music and record it onto 8-track tapes.

Maybe Pastor Josh could upload it.
