Not a Good Week To Be In Show Business

Don't forget to join me this Sunday at Powell's Furniture. It'll be your last chance to vote for the living room set Rae and I will buy. Therefore, your last chance to get your $50.00 gift card and we'll also draw the winner for the free living room set. Come on by. It's a holiday weekend! Let's have some fun!!
I don't want you to think I was ignoring the death of the gloved one, Michael Jackson in my last entry. The truth is I learned of his death about an hour after making that entry on Thursday. What a week! Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson, verifying what some people believe, that "it always comes in threes". Well, along comes Billy Mays and he blows that theory right out of the water. This idea that it always comes in three is absurd, and it's not true. You only notice it when it comes in threes. What happens when only one person dies......or two. Actually, when two people die, these people still go around saying, "It always comes in three, so one more is going to die". Well, of course, eventually somebody else is going to die. The whole thing is silly.
Today, we got news of two more celebrity deaths. Comic-impressionist Fred Travalena died early today.
He was very popular in the 70's and 80's, but still often appeared on Letterman and he was a regular in Vegas and Branson.

Here's another one that just came in today. Some of you might be old enough to remember Gale Storm, an actress who had a very popular TV show 600 years ago called My Little Margie.

To be honest with you, I thought she died years ago, but nope, she died today.

Hey, wait a minute. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.....that's three. Then Billy Mays, Fred Travalena and Gale Storm.....that's three. OH, MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! IT REALLY DOES COME IN THREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!

On a more cheerful note, Happy Birthday today to actor Gary Busey. He's 62 today.

How did this guy make it this far? Gary is one of those guys who if he got Alzheimer's, you wouldn't be able to tell. Anyway, Happy Birthday to him, Maria Conchita Alonzo is 52 today and comedian Richard Lewis is 62 today.
