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.
Source: Cosmopolitan True love is dead! Ariana Grande and her boyfriend of three years, Ethan Slater, have broken up. Sources told TMZ that the couple quietly ended their relationship a few months ago and are finally sharing the news to the public. The two originally met on set of Wicked and announced their relationship in July 2023. There was much speculation that the pair had cheated on their respective partners, as both of their marriages ended around the time they announced their coupledom. Despite their denial of infidelity, Slater's ex-wife, Lilly Jay, allegedly found texts shared between Grande and Slater while he was still married to her, and she says she was "blindsided" by their divorce. I wonder who Ariana will date next! Sources: TMZ, Page Six
