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).
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.
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.
