R.I.P. Billy Mays
I saw a documentary about Billy Mays about a month ago on the discovery channel involving a series of days in which Mays was pitching products. One product was some shock absorbent gel which was so strong, he allowed a truck to run over his hand with no injury. That is some display and he will always have my respect. I'm also a big fan of the Sham-Wow guy, Vince Offer. The Slap-Chop commercial is one of my favorites. Here is an interview on the Adam Corolla Radio Show with Mays speaking about Vince "Sham-Wow" Offer.
Liam Neeson's wife Natasha Richardson died after falling on a bunny slope. Mays died after a harsh landing at an airport. Take my advice: protect your domes people. One more of these whacky deaths, we'll need a 16-hour-a-day helmet clause adopted to the United States Constitution.

The More Things Change
Michael Jackson has died. Here are my top 5 favorite MJ songs
5) Leave Me Alone
4) Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
3) Human Nature
2) The Way You Make Me Feel
1) Wanna Be Startin Something
But let's be honest with ourselves for a minute. This is a guy that was on trial twice for child molestation. Was it an elaborate scheme to get Jackson's loot or was he actual serving Jesus Juice in the Neverland Ranch? Either way, when the late Ed Bradley asks you on 60 Minutes whether it's okay to bring children into your bed, the answer is always, "No." Instead, Michael says, "Absolutely." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQwY4ll1Kfc&feature=related) Come on, Mikey Boy. With that said, every good party has a few MJ tracks in circulation. That's never been disputed.
Why the Rangers lost (no particular order)
-Because they are team full of solid players with no gamebreaker.
-Lundqvist cannot make every save and score every goal.
-Avery's antics in game 4 might have cost them game 5
-Donald Brashear is a talentless douchebag who broke Blair Betts' orbital bone in game 6
-2 shots on goal in the 3rd period of game 7 vs. the caps
I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing games 3 and 4 with my brother Ronaldo Da and Vincent Edward Taurassi. Before game 3, I get a text from Vin saying something along the lines of: "My sister went into labor, not sure if I'm going to make it to the game." As we all know, Lorraine Baines McSlermbo and Michael Q. McSlermbo were anxioiusly awaiting their first born.
Vin wound up coming to the game and hitching a ride back with yours truly to Stony Brook Hospital along with Dr. Cheryl Taurassi. It was on that car ride through a monsoon on a dreary 4/20 (!) night that the McDerrmott's welcomed a Leila on to Planet Earffffff.
A few quick notes on the Phish summer tour:
- The three shows I saw at Jones Beach were some of the best I have ever seen.
- I sold my Bonnaroo ticket after a long debate with my conscience.
- The new songs being debuted have been exciting to hear. The approaching album release with producer Steve Lillywhite is setting itself up to be full of future fan favorites.
-If anyone would like to download any of these shows go to http://shmedley.blogspot.com... He has a ton of live music and downloadable albums too. I recommend WinRAR to extract files.
Harmon's Wedding
I wanted to take this time to say congrats to Bryan "Christ" Harmon and his beautiful bride Soojin. I've known Bryan since he used to no-hit Little League baseball teams and I feel really bad about not being a part of this special day.
