Losing Norm Macdonald hits hard, like a bad batch of brew. As a Cheers fanatic and a beer radio guy, I live for that moment when Norm Peterson swaggered into the bar and the whole place erupted with “Norm!”—that’s the kind of notoriety I’m chasing, to walk in and own the room.
Norm Macdonald nailed it in his own way, slicing through the world’s chaos with that sly wit, saying stuff like, “It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and I’m wearing Milk-Bone underpants.” Pure genius.
His passing stings, but it’s got me reflecting on how we all want to be known, like Norm at the bar. Here’s to chasing that vibe, one beer, one laugh, and one Milk-Bone moment at a time.
