Years from now, Alien explorers will find the burned out husk of our former planet.
...They will dig into the surface.
...They will uncover the ruins of our civilization.
...They will find MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR!
AIIIIIEEEEEEE

We saw Cher on her last farewell tour
We Be-lieved in Love, that's for sure
But without Sonny
She's not quite as funny
Still, I know we'll go see her once more

Will Cher become as pathetic as Sinatra was in his later years? Will Chastity become her musical director/arranger ala Frank Jr.?
Stay tuned.

Word on the street is that my old high school has Cher lined up to play at Homecoming this year.
Posted by: punky brewster | July 30, 2004 at 06:35 AM
make that "perform" not play ... does the woman actually play any instruments?
Posted by: punky brewster | July 30, 2004 at 06:36 AM
Punky, for an extra $20 she'll play your instrument.
I mean, that's what I HEARD.
Posted by: Christobol | July 30, 2004 at 06:39 AM
Christobol ... You've got first hand experience with that, don't ya?!
Posted by: punky brewster | July 30, 2004 at 06:45 AM
Well, actually it's SECOND hand.
I only had a ten-spot.
Posted by: Christobol | July 30, 2004 at 06:48 AM
It's time to Cher the limelight. We GOT you babe.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | July 30, 2004 at 06:50 AM
LMAO
christobol, you never disappoint.
Posted by: punky brewster | July 30, 2004 at 06:56 AM
LMAO Tetsu!

Dave, are you trying to punish us this morning? First we have to watch a woman removing her horse's bean (and no, I DO NOT want to know what that is) and now Cher. I don't even want to speculate on what's next, but the initials BM do come to mind. Please don't. THank you.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | July 30, 2004 at 07:23 AM
Do you believe in life after Cher?

Dave's blogging so much today in an effort to bring our overall ratio of Non-Naked-Men Posts (NNMP) to Naked-Men Posts (NNP)back to normal...
So far, we're at 1 NNMP to 40 bazillion, 940 quadtrillion, 301 NMP.
Roughly speaking or so...
Posted by: Higgy | July 30, 2004 at 08:03 AM
You're of by one on the NMP count, Higg-meister.
Bangi ... yes, people still like to see her ... she is excellent in concert (not so sure about in the spin cycle) ... it's just funny that she's still going ... not unlike the energizer bunny ... she just keeps going and going and going ...
Posted by: punky brewster | July 30, 2004 at 08:36 AM
I actually caught her "Farewell" show last year and it was a good show, but I feel like I was duped. My girlfriend at the time got me to go under the pretense that we would never get the chance again.... So I shelled out $150 not to mention all the other expenses and we went and now I'm thinking I could have just waited and caught her at the Holiday Inn.... No cover and all you can chicken wings....
Translation: I got screwed....
Posted by: Pinto | July 30, 2004 at 08:37 AM
Pinto, you understand that "Farewell" was what you said to your money ...
Posted by: MOTW | July 30, 2004 at 08:40 AM
Know how you feel, Pinto.
I went to the Rolling Stones "Fixin' to Die" tour in '92, then again to their "Hey, Keith Richards IS Dead But Continues to Rock" tour in '98, and finally their "What the F$#%?" tour in '02.
But I didn't get screwed.
Guess I don't know how you feel.
Posted by: Christobol | July 30, 2004 at 08:46 AM
Her tour is like a permanent going out of business sale. But then again, what could she possibly do for an encore? Not that I am suggesting one.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | July 30, 2004 at 09:07 AM
I see that Rapid City, South Dakota is on the farewell tour.
Elvis also played in Rapid. It turned out to be his last concert. . . ever.
I'm not saying that if you play in Rapid, you mihgt as well die.
I'm just sayin.
Posted by: Lily | July 30, 2004 at 10:03 AM
gee, thanks dave and youz guys,
now i've got "life after love, after love, after love........" going on and on and on in my head and:
IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!
Posted by: Peter | July 30, 2004 at 10:05 AM
...well, with Brittany and Christina and Courtney cancelling their tours, i s'pose Cher just felt she should pick up the slack...
and as for that comment about the Who still touring, i still think they shoulda hung it up after Keith Moon kacked...
Posted by: laura | July 30, 2004 at 10:34 AM
Who are the people who are spending enough money to finance the furtherence (is that even a word) of this tour? They should be beaten. Many times.
Posted by: MeL | July 30, 2004 at 11:47 AM
Hey, maybe they can get her to play at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new laundromat in Algona.
Posted by: Lmd33 | July 30, 2004 at 01:06 PM
I saw the Who in Boulder years ago. After they played their first song they greeted the audience thusly: "It's great be back on Boulder. Last time we were here was our farewell tour..."
Sigh. Good times.
Posted by: Smoodle | July 30, 2004 at 01:53 PM
Laugh all you might but do you know how many "Farewell" shows this woman has SOLD OUT here in south Florida alone?!
At least four - but I think it's more like six.
(And, no, I didn't attend any of them.)
Posted by: Trystan Shout | July 30, 2004 at 09:06 PM
Trystan - because of the high percentage of retirees down here, she's been selling out shows because the seniors still thing she's a young, vital performer.
