The Answer



Okay kids...you had time to answer my query...Google it, or whatever...the group who sang backup to the Bobby Boris Pickett song, 'Monster Mash'...was...drum roll please...'The Blossoms'...the 3 main gals, were Fanith James, Jean King, and this other one, that you might know...Darlene Love...

In fact, they sang back up to many HIT SONGS, other than Mash...but, let's not move on just yet...they were in cahoots with none other than the 'Wall of Sound' dude, Phil Spector...and Mash was written in half of an hour...and recorded in half an hour...it was just a graveyard smash...

The Blossoms were background vocals for many others...as I said before...two of my all time favorite songs...yes, kids...all time...the Righteous Brothers 'You've Lost That Lovin Feelin', and Shelley Fabares 'Johnny Angel'...+ many many more...

They got screwed on another...listen to this...do you recall the monster hit 'He's A Rebel'?...yes, another of my all time favs...it's true...it was said to be sung by the Crystals...NO!...it was not...another artist was to record it, and Spector wouldn't have it, he needed to rush the cut...BUT, the Crystals were on the east coast on a gig...so, he used this background group to record it...yes, it was The Blossoms...who NEVER got credit for recording it...as 'The Crystals' were given the name...it was not them...forever...

Darlene Love...moved to the forefront...BUT, guess what?...there was another Blossom, like sort of...that sang on the 'Lovin Feelin' song...Love's car broke down...and they asked this 17 year old to fill in...and she did...some GAL named Cher....who also did backups to Love's 'Be My Baby'...and most of Phil Spector's infamous Christmas Album...and was featured in Love's classic 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)...hey recall the Crystal's 'Da Do Run Run'....you can clearly hear Cher as the lead backup...

Very shortly thereafter...this gal Cher, teamed up with the Bono dude, Sonny...and the historically crazed wonder 'I Got You Babe'...was launched...and they kept going...even to Salem, Oregon...at the Armory where the Horse was up front a gazing at the duo...

And that's the way it was...and the truth...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
