RIP Gallagher, A True "Smash" Hit

minnow
Any place that interests me.
We lost another good one this year with the passing of Gallagher (76). Who could forget his trademark Sledge-O-Matic on a watermelon. I never attended a live performance of his, but caught several of his HBO specials. There's some leftover condiment packets lying around, I think I'll take a hammer to them..(LOL).

    In the early to mid 80’s he was huge

    HBO specials and popular at the video stores with VHS tapes

    Sort of last track of him the past 20 years.

    I saw Gallagher a few years ago at the Tropicana in Vegas while I was there at a work function. He was very nice in the fact that after the show he said hello to everyone and offered a piece of birthday cake as it was his birthday. Mo big star vibes at all from him.

    I saw him open for Willie Nelson when I was a kid. His show made everyone laugh and the gold in the front few rows got some minor watermelon damage.

    RIP Gallagher. If you told me a guy could make a career out of smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer, I wouldn’t have believed you. He was an original, and he was famous - and oddly very funny.

    I always enjoyed his shows but I wouldn't dare sit in the front row
    R.I.P. Gallagher an American original

    His HBO specials are fond memories of my childhood. RIP.
