In the lyrics for Randy’s hit single “Boots on” he mentions “granny beads.” What the heck is a granny bead?! Believe it or not, he actually issued a press release to explain what they are…

     “Well my grandma would always come work [in the gardens] … Granny beads are what they’re called when a grandma works the garden all day — you always see them — they have a handkerchief around their neck with a lot of dust on them, and then the sweat will go down and make these black beads of sweat and dirt around their neck. And that’s what they call granny beads.”

And there you have it. GROSS DUDE!!!!!!

      Ok, that was a little too freaky. Tom and I were on the air talking about celebrities dying in 3’s. Ed McMahon and Farrah Facett had just passed away. On the air we thought outloud “who’s next?” I NEVER in a million years would have thought it would be Michael Jackson. We got word on his condition not 10 minutes after we wondered who could be next. The guy was a musical genius but like many other people with enormous talent, he was troubled. I also felt a little sad when I saw him because he really seemed like a tortured soul to me. Will all the goofyness and accusations overshadow a catalog of hit songs and his influence over popular culture for decades? I guess only time will tell. Here are some of my predictions for his legacy’s future:

-Neverland will be purchased by someone and turned into a shrine, much like Graceland.

-His album sales will skyrocket for the next few months.

-”Victims” will come out of the woodwork looking for money via books and interviews with tabloids.

-His family will turn against each other fighting over money. I know he’s supposedly broke to the tune of millions of dollars, but I can’t believe a guy THAT RICH doesn’t have money sitting in an offshore account somewhere.

-Look for his family to whore out his image and life story for a movie and broadway play.

-There will be at least two more albums of new material released. Michael has a vault full of songs that didn’t make it on his last album. Tupac is STILL putting out new music 10 years after he died.

-Look for a CGI moment at the next Grammy’s…he’ll be singing with someone thru the use of digital technology.

-His doctor will be investigated in relation to Michaels death.

-There will be sightings of MJ just like people see Elvis. The urban legand will go something like “he just didn’t want to deal with the fame and pressure anymore so he faked his death.”

     Farrah Facett passed away today after a long battle with cancer. She was just 62. For those of you under 30 you probably don’t know much about her. She was IT in the 70’s. Her poster was everywhere. She was THE star of “Charlies Angels” which in its day was the biggest show on TV. You know how that Jennifer Anniston haircut became so popular back in the 90’s? Farrah had the same effect on fashion and culture way back when. She was beautiful, but more importantly she fought cancer with an open mind and determination to survive. Farrah was a class act. Rest in peace.
