Billy Mayes dies -tragedy always comes in threes....
16 years ago
When I heard I about Farrah Fawcett -I said:
"She was still alive? I thought she died about ten years ago."
When I heard Michael Jackson Died I said:
I thought he would have wound up dead years ago
But when I heard about Billy Mayes this morning, I said:
What? Wait -no, it's too soon. How in the hell am I going to get this stain out of the capet? How am I going to cook mini hamburgers -why Jeebus? Why??
-Indeed it's tragic -it really is. I'm not playing this down, nor do I mean disrespect. Farrah carried on for a good number of years with cancer. Michael, somehow managed to remain in the spotlight for decades despite his lifestyle choices, plastic surgery, and so on. Billy mays though, that really was a surprise. It will not be the same seeing an informercial and not hearing his voice.
What was your first reaction to any one of these deaths?
