Stuff to Hold Us Over<\/h4>\n

Cher tweeted the picture (right) of herself staying at home. Which is what most of us are doing right now, give or take an ocean view.<\/p>\n

A small list of things cancelled on me recently:<\/p>\n

– Cher concert in Kansas City
– My 50th birthday Rio Grande rafting trip
– A local family reunion
– Mr. Cher Scholar's mother's internment
– All plans to leave the house<\/p>\n

It sucks to be human right now but you have to keep reminding yourself, it could be much worse. Crazy enemies could be bombing your house. That would be a lot worse, especially because you'd lose your internet connection.<\/p>\n

We're so spoiled.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this month was to be my first visit to see a Cher show this tour but, as we all know, everyone's everything was cancelled this season or postponed and all our plans were given wedgies. <\/p>\n

Maybe this will give me time to catch up on tour reviews. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, hopefully you aren't going crazy by forced inactivity. Like toilet paper and frozen pizzas, here are some things to hold you over:<\/p>\n

\"20200330_104618\"<\/a>A few year's ago Cher scholar Dishy sent me a song on a 45 record. I didn't have a record player at the time. I dug it out last weekend and played it, Sonny singing "I'll Change<\/a>."  Cher scholar Robrt informed me recently this was originally a Don Christy (Sonny's pseudonym) track on Rush Records in 1961. It was released a few times after Sonny became well known, including this misleading 45 label indicating Cher had anything to do with it.<\/p>\n

\"Cfb\"<\/a>The lovely CR Fashion Book<\/em> cover is out. Read the interview, see the pics here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with the 45 above, I dug out all copies of my favorite Cher song, "Somebody<\/a>." Here's a breakdown of the versions:<\/p>\n
