RADIATE LOVER
Damn, celebrities are dropping like flies lately. Billy was a cool dude, I loved that show Pitchmen!
 
I was seriously watching Pitchmen this morning, and my buddy called me 5 minutes ago to tell me about this. This kind of stuff is supposed to happen in 3s, not 4s.

That's sad. I found him to be annoying as hell but he was damn good at what he did which is why I found him annoying to begin with.
 
Maybe MJ isn't really dead - he and 2-Pac are on a island smoking some Kush and making albums to be released down the road. Food for thought.

In all seriousness: I cannot believe Billy is dead, too. I enjoyed watching his show, for it made me laugh. He seemed like a pretty cool guy.

I have to agree I think Swayze is next, so sad. I still love the chippendales with him and Farley. The thought cracks me up

He has pancreatic cancer. He can't be too long for this world. That is some nasty ****.

Not that any cancer is good. But I think less than 5% are alive after 5 years of the initial diagnosis with this form of cancer.

Definitely one of the best SNL skits ever though.
 
Billy had a TV show too, so although not the size of a Michael Jackson, he was a celebrity. I saw his show the other week and he talked about how he got to where he was and the guy literally was a self made man and celeb...worked his ass off!
 
R.I.P. Oxyclean guy. I hope you get the media coverage you deserve in death unlike some other famous guy that died the other day.

Hmmmm. Probably not the most solid definition of a celebrity. Oh well, OxyClean and Mighty Putty were bull****.

The dictionary can be shaky at times I suppose. :D
 
F*cking A.

Celebs are dying like crazy.... here's to hoping Paris Hilton joins the list soon and not more people who are useful :[
 
somebody better have Arnold and Michael Jordan on 24 hour watch...who knows what the **** is gonna happen next..
 
I agree, Swazye, unless he meets a miracle directly eye to eye within the next 3 months, he's done for...sad, but true.
 
Damn, I just remembered, I seen Mays on the tonight show just a couple of days ago. So weird how that happens like a snap of a finger...This is one of the reasons why I lived life like there was no end. You never know if when you close your eyes tonight, if they'll ever open again.
 
Werd!!!!!!!!!

Everytime somthing like this happens I get a get a new perspective on life.............I really need to appreciate my Health, Family, and friends more :sad:
 
Ya, I saw him on The Tonight Show as well and everything seemed fine, that's what makes it even more eerie. Supposedly he hit his head on the flight back home upon landing...maybe have caused a hemorage is my suspicion.

Yeah...makes it even more odd. Now a days, I keep hearing about people having brain hemorrhages but damn, I remember getting beamed by 85mph fast balls and nailing my head hundreds of times growing up, on car hoods, falling out of tree houses, etc...just odd.

Yep, my Grandmother died from this a few years ago. Didnt take very long.
 
RIP Billy.

I am bummed out about Billy May's untimely passing. My wife and I watch Pitchmen, and it wasn't hard to see that Mr. Mays had a heart for people.

My heart and prayers go out for his family.
 
I also saw him on the Tonight Show when Pitchmen was coming out. He seemed like a really genuine person and a humble guest on the show.
 
He was a bit overweight, but held himself with great posture. Too bad, at that age you should be having regular checkups, especially if you can afford it.
 
This is for you Billy...

Autopsy revealed Billy had cocaine in his system. I knew that dude was on something.

Yep, just walked in from seeing G.I. Joe (first movie in a WHILLLLLE for me, thanks to zero v) and turned the tube on and seen this on the news...the guy had cocaine in his system. Damn, that did shocked me!
 
Cocaine can raise the arterial blood pressure, directly cause thickening of the left wall of the ventricle and accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, the release said.

The toxicology tests also showed therapeutic amounts of painkillers hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol, as well as anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and diazepam. Mays had suffered hip problems and was scheduled for hip-replacement surgery the day after he was found dead.
