Okay so I flew down to Palm Springs about two or three days ago
and when I got off the airplane I asked the lady "where am I"
and she said "you're in the Sonny Bono Concourse."
And that kind of surprised me I'm like "why the hell would you name something after him?"
And she's like "oh well, he was our mayor."
And I'm like "Well you guys should name something after Cher"
And she goes "well, she wasn't from here and she wasn't our mayor."
So I thought okay well that makes sense.
Uhm.. so today I am in El Centro, California which is the birthplace of Cher.
"Ringo, I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah"
"More than anything in this world"
"I want to be your only girl"
"Please let me hold you Ringo"
And I was hoping to find a Cher museum or some kind of Cher birthplace
so I went to city Hall they had never heard of such a thing
and they said "go to the Chamber of Commerce."
So I go down to the Chamber of commerce
and the lady there says "she doesn't claim us"
and I'm like "well do you like her?"
"Not anymore because she doesn't claim us."
And what she meant was that although she was born here Cher never talks about it
she never apparently says that she was from here
she doesn't put it as part of her profile anywhere, that's what I'm told.
And so I asked the lady "well is there a birth place, was she born in the hospital or a house somewhere or what?"
And and she goes "she won't give that information out to us so we don't know where it was because she does not claim us."
And her source for this was that she heard it.
So I'm very dissapointed bceuase you know, this is a you know pretty little town that's agricultural.
And uhm...
I'm from Nanaimo which is the home..the birth place of Diana Krall
And whether you like her or not everyone knows that she's from there and takes some pride in it
And I mean I would think that a town that has.. that's was the birthplace of Cher.
They should really do something about that.
But apparently Cher doesn't really like them
And I think that... and that's what I've been getting on my research today from talking to the townsfolk
And I just think that's too bad and I think Cher needs to lighten up a bit
And say that she's proud to be from El Centro
So yeah, when I'm in El Centro uhm researching Cher,
Asking people about Cher I get really thirsty
And one of my favourite things about coming to the States is that you can buy pop from Mexico here
And they use cane sugar and it tastes much better than than the American pops
Which I think use corn syrup which doesn't really taste so good
But uh usually I buy Coke but this pharmacy I went to had Pepsi
So I got this and it just doesn't taste as good...
So yeah, it's not good to compromise on beverage...
Beverages. You should really stick to Coke. that's all.
