Calling all hepcats! DJ Li'l Scratch is layin' down some swingin' tracks at the Manor's "Pork Sword" lounge tonight. But first, have you seen the 1980's sitcom "It's a Living?" If you have, then you know about "Sonny Mann," the comically boorish lounge singer played by Paul Kreppel (in a performance that used to annoy me, though now I find it oddly endearing).

Kreppel had to have been lampooning Buddy Greco, at least vocally, a fantastic Vegas lounge singer who surely originated the phrases "Who loves ya', baby!" and "Ring-a-ding-ding!" and "The meatloaf's fantastic! We're open all night!"

And while I make fun of Buddy, his LP, "16 Most Requested Songs" is winningly primeval. This is how songs like "The Lady Is A Tramp" and "She Loves Me" were first performed - or so I imagine - and in fact, how they should always be performed, with unconscious glitz and boy-yo razzmatazz. Dig it, daddy!
BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's RIGHT HERE.
Did you know there are over a thousand days left until Trump's 2nd Presidential term is over? Holy fuckballs, I'm barely hanging on. But there have been a few amusements this week (it's fun to see the RepubliKKKans squirm !), as well as a few horrifying opinions and even more horrifying revelations. There's also the notion, with respect to the Democrats caving on the shutdown, that they might have lost the fight, but hey, they won the war . Really? I'm not so sure, but like everything else these days, or so it seems, we'll learn the truth at the midterms. Speaking of the all-important midterms, which many regard as the one thing that can save us from our MAGA nightmare, I'm having a creeping sense of Mueller-ism. You know Mueller, don't you? The guy whose 2017 Special Council was supposed to take down and destroy Trump once and for all? Yeah . We need more than potentially false hope . Where's the backup plan for the backup plan? Did I mention...
Wheeeeeee! Let's play a game! Post a picture of someone whom you believe is unduly popular and well-paid given their wee amount of talent. And it doesn't even have to be showbiz peeps, though so many are richly deserving. I'll go first. Drumroll, please. Tim Cook. Sure, Steve Jobs was a diffy act to follow, but besides fattening the pockets of Apple's shareholders, Cook's talents appear to be minimal, even diminutive, unless you consider this the work of a talented mind. Word on the street is that he'll retire in the coming year, which can't come too soon for many who believe that hobnobbing with terrorists - who would otherwise be quite happy to imprison or kill his talent-free gay ass - is just tackiness. Okay, your turn. Ready? Go! Photo Credits: Funkipedia, Getty Images

She's sporting a rare, more casual look complete with a serene face and flowing long hair. Liebovitz's signature moody lighting and background gives the photo a more intimate feeling. The 61-year old former First Lady posted the image in honour of the new edition of Liebovitz's book, Women . In her caption, Obama praised the book for expanding how we see women and the lives they lead through her lens. The new edition of Women hit shelves on November 4th. Source: USA Today
