Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Cher at her worst is really Cher at her best. (I love her warble; it’s the sound you would expect a fat pigeon to make). At least I assume she was always in on the joke. Check out the appearance David Bowie made on her solo show. They sing this bizarre medley of oldies book marked by Bowie’s ‘Young Americans’. You can find it on YouTube. The musical transitions are alarming, the theme non-apparent (has something to do about being young in America, I guess), and while Cher waffles between looking embarrassed or bored, Bowie (probably coked out his mind) seems to enjoy being ridiculous. There is also a clip of them doing a duet of a cut from Bowie’s ‘Young Americans’ (Can You Hear Me). What missed opportunity. But what a fun piece of kitsch.

My favorite holiday tradition is Paul Shaffer's annual impression of Cher singing "O Holy Night."

Mizzy Scarlett, I think, is what they called her. At one point, back when Atlanta still had some regional identity, that was an appropriate regional reference. Now we’re just a faceless corporate burbclave.

Oh, what a dead on reference — compare for yourselves!
