\"Joancusack\"<\/a> This week my attention was directed to the fact that I may have offended one of my readers in a post last week (the petition one)<\/a>. This is highly likely. And problematic as I consistently forget I have actual readers. If it\u2019s any consolation, I\u2019m sure I say offensive things about Cher and her posse all the time.<\/p>\n

The thing is it\u2019s awfully hard to objectively critique a celebrity (Cher) and a mass mental phenomenon (celebrity obsession) without stepping on a few rhinestoned toes. It\u2019s simply part of the scholastic process. Doing this takes distance and a sense of humor. Especially because many, many celebrity obsessed people don\u2019t have either of those things. So sociologically, the study absolutely requires it from me.<\/p>\n

That said, when I take off that scholarly hat it pains me to think I\u2019ve hurt someone\u2019s feelings. Both because I\u2019m empathetic to that situation and also for purely selfish, karmic reasons. Which is why I\u2019m going to offer up (in the spirit of reconciliation) my own nutty story of embarrassing fandom. <\/p>\n

The first thing I ever collected as a human being (circa early 70s) was Sonny & Cher records and dolls. But it wasn\u2019t until I became a pre-teen that I started my actual Sonny & Cher scholarship. This was when I started collecting clips about them in People Magazine<\/em> and reading their bios in record guides. Learning their birthdays was a big deal when I was in Junior High. <\/p>\n

I was also making new friends who hadn\u2019t yet wrapped their heads around my Cher obsession. Understand this was 1982. Cher was way past her disco hit and just shy of her movie career. She was in her has-been phase #3 (phase #2 being the late 60s, phase #2 being 1978, if you consider "Take Me Home" a comeback hit. If not, then we’re talking about has-been phase #2…but that is simply a debate for another day). My new friends were cocking their heads and wondering, shouldn\u2019t this young gal be into The Go-Gos and Survivor and other hits of 1982<\/a>?  <\/p>\n

But my feeling was and has always been: can\u2019t I be into both the trendy and the has-been? For instance, in 2007 I can fall in love with Patti Griffin\u2019s latest song "Heavenly Day" (which I did yesterday) and still love Cher\u2019s TV version of "Rhinestone Cowboy."<\/p>\n

And it was with this resolve that I decided to throw a dinner party when I was 12…for Sonny Bono\u2019s birthday on February 16. Now this really confused my new friends. Why is this 12-year old throwing a dinner party instead of the typical slumber party? And why Sonny Bono? <\/p>\n

Why…Sonny…Bono?<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t even have Sonny Bono recipes<\/em>. I just made lasagna and a salad. And as 12-year olds are often at a loss for good dinner conversation at dinner parties, ours quickly denigrated into a daring contest. Someone plunked bits of lasagna and salad into a glass of coke (only the finest<\/em> beverages at my dinner parties) and the bravest of the bunch tried to drink it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure none of my guests ever got over that night. And eventually I had to get all new friends entirely. Just to cover my tracks. But if I ever run for political office, that dinner party will forever haunt me. <\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t care what some petition-wielding Cher fan says I said about her. I\u2019m nuttier.<\/p>\n

These recipes claim to be inspired by Sonny Bono: <\/p>\n

But if you want an authentic Sonny Bono dinner party, you might try to visit his eldest daughter Christie\u2019s restaurant in Long Beach, California:<\/p>\n
