"Randy 'Macho Man" Savage"
May 20th:
Pro wrestling superstar Randy "Macho Man" Savage died after having a heart attack while driving his Jeep Wrangler, Fox News confirms.
The accident happened in Seminole, Fla.
A source tells Fox News that he "suffered a heart attack while driving and hit a tree...."
Most every boy has been a wrestling fan. I was certainly one. From Lou Thesz who Louie Tillet called Lou Tezz because Louie was French; to Freddie Blassie who referred to his counterparts as pencil-neck geeks; to Farmer Powell who lost every match in his career; to the Assassins who featured the dreaded "Hangman Hold" and who were from "parts unknown" and who concealed their faces via masks-yeah, I was a big fan.
So goodbye to Randy Savage, a wrestling legend. And a hero to many young boys.
P.S. And whatever happened to Gorgeous George, Ray Gunkel, Chief Little Indian, Dick the Bruiser, and the Torres Brothers.
P.S.S. And whatever happened to Haystack Calhoun, a svelte 601 lbs.

"Ringo"
The interviewer claimed the fills on "She Said;She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" were the best ever by a drummer. Let's add "A Day in the Life."
The following song was inspired by a comment from Peter Fonda. "I know what it's like to be dead!"
P.S. She Said and Tomorrow are from Revolver.

End of an Era as Vegas Casino Closes"
Las Vegas marks the end of an era this week as one of the US gambling mecca's last original "Rat Pack" casino-hotels, the Sahara, finally closes its doors.
Opened in 1952, the Sahara hosted everyone from Elvis Presley and Jerry Lewis to Frank Sinatra and the Beatles in the 1950s and 60s, and their photos still decorate the walls above the reception.
But in recent decades Vegas saw an explosion of mega-sized casino resorts which left the "small" Sahara struggling to fill its 1,700 rooms at the end of the famous Strip.
The death knell was sounded in March, when its owners since 2007, SBE Entertainment, announced that the casino-hotel complex with its more than 1,050 staff was no longer a viable business....
"But you know, I've been in this business for 50 years, time's up," he said, recounting anecdotes about Elvis and Clint Eastwood -- who made "The Gauntlet" here in 1977.
He also doesn't mince his words about the Sahara's latest owners.
"These are the worst we've ever had. They came in here from California and they are very arrogant. It took them about three and half years to take this hotel right down to the ground," he said.
"These people should be ashamed to themselves," he added....

"Jerry Lewis Retiring From Telethon"
Say it ain't so. But I guess it's time.
Jerry Lewis was my favorite comedian when I was a youngster. I remember making the trek via the bus line to see his movies at the Fox Theater.
I never saw the Lewis-Martin movies until after they split up. Viewing them on Saturday Night at the Movies on the tube in the 60's. Back when there were only 3 channels. NBC, CBS, and ABC. In Charleston there were only 2. It's hard to imagine that today, because there are literally hundreds on cable and satellite.
My great Aunt Mad never liked Jerry-said he was too silly. That's funny because she was silly. "Pull my finger" she would say as we were riding down the highway in her 57 Chevy Bel-Air.
So Jerry is gone even tho he will sing "You'll Never Walk Along" on this year's telethon. I will miss him.
P.S. And goodbye to Harmon Killebrew. Whose battle with cancer is over. Hammering Harmon hit over 500 homers in his career. Say hello to the Babe, Lou Gehrig, and Roberto Clemente for me. And Dizzy, Pee Wee, Jolting Joe, and Johnny Weismuller.

"World's Best Pizza"
What is it about pizza that makes us love it so much? Is it the savory cheeses, the pliable crust or the aromatic sauce? Perhaps it's the customizable nature of the treat. Each pizza is different; across the country -- the world, even -- foodies get to compliment their pies with the toppings they most love. You can call it an Italian creation, an American staple or even a Brazilian standby, but one thing's for sure: we all crave pizza. But where should you expect to taste the best slice?
#6 Rome, Italy
#5 Chicago
#4 Osaka and Hiroshima-this one is a surprise.
#3 Sao Paulo, Brazil
#2 New York
#1 Naples
There was no mention of Dominos, Little Caesars, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, California Pizza Kitchen, or Jet.
