You know, though some would balk and laugh, people like Billy Mays are very good psychologists, for what is a psychologist but one who studies human nature. Billy understood human nature quite well, that of the audience he was selling to and of those who wanted to sell as well. His series was fascinating.
And there was that, to me, an immediate appeal that Billy had. Loved his style.
Billy understood things that those who know something about Neuro Linguistic Programming know, that what you say is often not as important as how you say it.

Billy spoke with power, enthusiasm and conviction. And he spoke fast cause when someone speaks fast as well as the other qualities, it does not sound slow, deliberate, pausing, perhaps uncertain or deceptive. Billy appeared to have his heart out on his sleeve. It seemed like credibility. But Billy was not stupid, either. Billy had to believe in what he sold in order to really come off convinced. That was important to him. He knew that lying would show up more often than not, or at least take an edge off something when an edge is often what you needed.

I think the loss of Billy Mays was particularly tragic. Perhaps the best salesman I ever saw or heard.

I know of another man who Billy reminded me off. His name was Dennis Lee and he sold free energy type stuff, which some might scoff at, not realizing the persecution dumped on such things. Dennis was continually shut down and out. many of the things he hawked had been on TV shows highlighting new technology but they have never been allowed to see the light of day. Be careful what you sell, folks, for if it disturbs the right people, you won't be selling it long.

Its been a sad week, perhaps a little more than most, with lots to think about. But we boomers are disappearing in ever greater numbers. I wonder how history will judge us when we are all gone.

It hads been a bad week hasn't for celebrities! And Ron, it was your post here that alerted me to Billy Mays! I am really sorry to hear about this! Yeah, 50 is way to young! Carradine, McMahan, Fawcett, Jackson and now Mays! What is going on here? I feel really bad about all these passings. RIP to all of them! Enjoy life to it's fullest boomers! Ya just never know? RIP Billy! You da man!

My father always said, the older you get the more friends you will lose.

Love those people now.No one has ever come back and told me that there was something else.

Immortality is fleeting, live life to it's fullest.

It just proves my point, Life is short...eat desert first.

Thanks for the memories, I Remember JFK...

I don't wish anyone an early or untimely death I'll leave that up to the
Father/Son/Holly Ghost
that's his prerogative, but
Billy Mays he was obnoxious
and Monotone his celebrity
funeral status is lower than that of Howard Cosell at least Howard Cosell was a famous Sports newscaster even though he was obnoxious and annoying. Billy Mays oh please I pay for the luxury of cable TV(for me it is a luxury because I am legally blind and on disability) so I don't have to watch commercials and info commercials even though they are still there. The only reason
Billy May's death has any notoriety is that the baby
boom generations(the Baby
Boomer Generation 1946-1953 and the Generation Jones generation 1954-1965)is fixated on their own mortality and deaths

Geez, Anon, have you tried Lexapro?
