Might have to break out the old Sledge-o-Matic and smash a watermelon in his honor.

I met either him or his brother in Florida in the late 1990s.

I had the pleasure of seeing him at the Lowell (MA) Auditorium in 1992. A Sunday night show that was awesome but went on for 3 1/2 hours which was a bit long for a stand-up performance. Was fun though.

I went to his shows a couple times.

The Simpsons did a nod to Gallagher a long while ago.

I nearly bumped into him (walked behind me trying to find where he's sitting for autographs) in Wausau in 2008.
