A Day With Jacko, An Evening With Denny & A Fat Cat
I got home late this morning and, as always, Rae has Fox News on. Like almost every other channel, they're covering the over-the-top, circus-like, fandango known as the Michael Jackson memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I didn't want to see this guy die. Nobody wants to see anybody die (Well, I'd like to see Osama Bin Laden die), but let's be honest here. The guy was a song and dance man, and nothing more. He was no great humanitarian. He didn't find a cure for cancer. He was a court jester, an entertainer..........nothing more. Sure, he was a great dancer, but so was Gene Kelly. So was Fred Astaire. So was Gregory Hines, but there wasn't this carrying on when they died. Sure, he sold a lot of records, but so did Johnny Cash. There was no royal-like memorial service for him. Our soldiers are dying every week. You barely hear about that (the media made sure you heard about it when George Bush was Presidnet). As a talent, as an entertainer, I liked Jackson. In fact, I bought the Thriller album when it came out. It was great. But has everyone forgot the other side of Wacko Jacko.......
As I sit here early Tuesday evening, I would be relieved if I thought this gushing of the media over this misfit was over, but sadly, I know better.
On a much more cheerful note, some of you are aware of this, some of you are not. Aside from being in radio throughout the years, I also a professional comedian. I know that's hard to believe based on some of the jokes I tell in the mornings, but I am. I have a club act that I've been doing for many years throughout the country, and still do from time to time on weekends. Ever since I moved down here, people have been asking me, When are you going to do your show locally?" Well, I'm happy to announce that we've finally been able to work this out with our good friends over at The Riverboat On The Potomac in Colonial Beach , and An Evening With Denny More is happening THIS Saturday night, July 11. I want to make this clear. This is NOT a remote broadcast. In fact, it really has no connection to Thunder. This is a two-hour, live, ADULT show, and if you're looking for some laughs, come on out this Saturday night. The show features COMEDY, MAGIC & HYPNOSIS. I suspect this show will sell out, so for ticket information, contact The Riverboat On The Potomac at 804-224-7055. I'm looking forward to seeing you out there Saturday night.
A few tid-bits of information concerning today's date:
On this date in 1946, former President Jimmy ("I'll never lie to you") Carter and Rosalynn were married. He was 21. She was 18.
On this date in 1956, Johnny Cash made his first appearance ever at the Grand Ole Opry.
Turns out that apparently Morris wasn't really finicky. He was just senile.
- The constant and bizarre cosmetic surgery procedures.
- Him trying to purchase the remains of Joesph Merrick, The Elephant Man.
- The child molestation accusations.
- For beauty purposes and to live longer, he used to sleep in an oxygen tent (apparently it didn't work).
- Three words: Bubbles The Chimp
...and has everyone forgotten this image?

Finally, on this date in 1978, the original Morris The Cat, the finicky star of the 9-Lives Cat Food commercials died in Chicago at the age of 17, That's pretty old for a cat.
