Only 27 More Days...

Jump My Bones
Gus Kenworthy 

With all the chaos in the world let's not lose sight of what's important this month, Halloween! "Yes" Minions it's that time of year again, for tricks & treats. Honestly I don't know the difference between a trick and a treat, both are equally fun 😉 

Today's Halloween poster guy is Gus Kenworthy seen here as a sexy skeleton of some sort at American Horror Story's 100 episode celebration. You may remember Gus was in AHS: 1984, the season of episode 100.

Honestly I chose Gus because he is showing some chest and he has hair on it, yep I like a man with a hairy chest. 

Mic Drop!

"What The World Needs Now Is Love"



CHERIE CURRIE (The Runaways) & DAVE SCHULZ (Goo Goo Dolls) JOIN TOGETHER  ON THE CLASSIC “WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE”

 

 WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

 

American Songwriter Magazine Interview HERE

 

 

Former Runaways vocalist Cherie Currie has released one of her all-time favorite songs with “What The World Needs Now Is Love.”


You can watch the video HERE featuring Cherie and an all-star band all filmed separately in quarantine. Pre-save the single HERE & HERE which will be released Friday, October 2. 

 

This timeless classic written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David and originally recorded by Jackie DeShannon exudes the hopeful message of spreading love into the world with its signature lyric: “What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No not just for some but for everyone.”  A message that couldn’t ring more true in these current times. 

Cherie says – “Driving back from my sister Marie’s house in Henderson NV over July 4th weekend I was listening to the Forrest Gump soundtrack Marie had gifted me. When “What the World Needs Now Is Love” came on I put it on repeat to sing along. I was struck with how prevalent this song is, especially today. Right at that moment Dave Schulz called me and I shared my thoughts on the song. “Let’s do it!” and Dave set off on making this possible. His talent as a producer and player are so obvious as to why he has had the successful career he has. Dave Schulz brought in wonderful players! Even the violinist who worked with Burt Bacharach. The final key was reaching out to my long time friend, vocalist Julie Ragins to complete the chill factor on the end of the song. My dear friend and publicist Ken Phillips was onboard from the start stating this was a timeless song in a time where what we REALLY need is love. Love created this. From our hearts to the world. Love really is the answer!”

The track was produced by keyboardist /vocalist Dave Schulz (Goo Goo Dolls, Berlin, The Sweet,  Wang Chung), who selected a few of his supremely talented A-list musician friends for the occasion. 

 

“During the lockdown, I have been producing an entertaining and quirky series of "quarantine style" songs/videos for my youtube channel and had randomly said to Cherie "Let’s do a duet!"  She immediately got excited because she happened to be driving along at that exact moment ...and had heard "What The World Needs Now Is Love" (Jackie DeShannon's version of the Burt Bacharach classic) in her car and thought what a great message that would be for our times. Of course I was ecstatic at the idea. I'm a HUGE Burt Bacharach fan and couldn’t agree with her more. I immediately enlisted a few of my favorite session musicians / friends. It truly was a blast to create and I think it’s great for Cherie, especially, since it’s not something her fans will expect from her. We're so excited about it...we may even do an entire album like this! – says Dave

Michael's Musings

"It's The Freakiest Show..."
Michael Shinafelt

"Take a look at the lawman, Beating up the wrong guy, Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know, He's in the best selling show, Is there life on Mars?" - Life On Mars?, David Bowie

After the "debate" on Tuesday, if that's what you would like to refer to it as, me personally "The Sh!t Show" works quite nicely. My current state of mind is there "Life On Mars?" There have been rumblings to that effect, if so take me to your leader! I need a change of energy and pace, Thank You very much!!!

My last Uber driver's name was Man, no his last name wasn't Lee

I promise not to drag you if you don't treat me like an ATM with a large eggplant

That time you threw a mushroom at a little person and yelled "Grow Mario!" 

Yeah, that would be too much house cleaning for one year, discuss...

Quote of the Week: "That debate was the worst thing I've ever seen & I was in the Star Wars Holiday Special" - Mark Hamill

Is that a WAP in your pants or are you just happy to see me???

BTW an impeached President shouldn't be able to confirm a Supreme Court Justice. Think about it, but not too much.

Always remember, you are never too old for a fart joke

Woman Crush of the Week - LeAnn Rimes her voice is a gift and during these unsure times I appreciate the virtual show videos she posts on Social Media 

I love acupuncture, from what I hear I should never see Final Destination because of this

Ever wonder what Rhoda Penmark of The Bad Seed would be like as an adult? Two words: Ivanka Trump

Compliment of the Day: Wow, your ass (not wow, you're an ass) never underestimate the power of booty 

What if Santa gets COVID? Does that mean he will pass it on to the entire world on Christmas Eve?

Judging by the images of graffiti I have been seeing online of late, Banksy has really been phoning it in

Find me at these places on Social Media, judgement free -
