To many great losses…
The last couple of weeks, actually the last month or so, we’ve lost some incredible people. Of course every one is important, whether they are a famous or the average guy getting by in life.
There is no doubt Michael Jackson touched many peoples lives. He was an man with incredible talent, no one can deny. I don’t care how different he was, how odd he might have acted. He brighten many peoples lives with his music and I’m sure he made many a person happy just to see and hear his music. Does anything else matter?
Along with so many other great losses recently, such as Ed Mcmann, Farrah Faccet and of course funny man Bernie Mac, there is one other great that has pasted on, and that is Billy Mays.
Billy might not have topped the charts with billboard hits or made the nation laugh, and I doubt he would have made a top selling poster you’d hang on your bedroom wall. Even still he was more than a credit to his profession, that being, the number one pitchman of all time.
I have a feeling his status as the top sales person will stay on the books forever.
I was watching the Discovery Channel’s show, Pitchmen and it really hit home as to just how good Billy was. He was more than just a sales guy, he was, or should I say is, a American Icon.
Sure, he could be called abbrasive, loud and intrusive, but again, does it really matter? He was the best because he put his heart and soul into it. He gave it his all. Not only did he have a passion for each and every product he pitched, he lived and breathed life into everything he sold.
Billy we will miss you, you had so much more to teach us.
