The mailbox starts filling up with fliers from asshole politicians begging for my vote. They don’t just send one notice, they send multiple ones. Pro tip for you cunts. The more fliers you send, the less chance I have of voting for you. Not that a glossy piece of paper with some bullshit on it, which I didn’t ask for is ever going to convince me either way. It just makes me annoyed. It’s fucking junk mail. Stop it. Cease and desist please.
On to show business news now. Despite having a residency in Las Vegas, Franki Valli hasn’t sung a note in years. This was the unshocking revelation that came to most people when stories of him being forced to perform at 90 years of age, started circulating in the tabloid press recently. Franki addressed these concerns in People Magazine. “In a statement shared exclusively with PEOPLE on Monday, Sept. 30, Valli said: “I know there has been a lot of stuff on the internet about me lately so I wanted to clear the air. I am blessed to be 90 years old and still be doing what I love to do and as long as I am able, and audiences want to come see me, I am going to be out there performing as always. I absolutely love what I do. And I know we put on a great show because our fans are still coming out in force and the show still rocks.”

He looks here like an animated corpse, but the guy is 90. He’s lucky to be doing any kind of show. Franki got married last year to a hot chick who is 30 years younger than he is. Good luck to him. People mag asked him about the rumors of him lip synching, to which he replied, “How do we do the show?! The Four Seasons sound was always about layering vocals and instruments. We use our 60 years of experience so we sound like the records. I sing, I have singers who sing, great arrangements….everything. I get a chuckle from the comments wondering if someone forcing me to go on stage. Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn’t want to do.”
This picture of Franki and his new bride was taken last year. The one below is more recent. He looks like he’s aged 20 years. Is this what Viagra and too much sex does to you? I’m jealous.
There’s only one season left and it’s winter.
I’ve always liked the Four Seasons.. winter, spring, summer or fall, alI you gotta do is call… K?… No, I mean the group. I even tried doing a cover version of Sherry Baby a while ago which I’m going to post a link to below. It’s weird, but in a good way I think. When you try and sing Franki Valli’s part, you start to realize how high it is. It’s even more difficult when you’re not 30 years old any more. There is no way he could sing those notes at his age, even at 70, 20 years ago. People still come to the shows, so who cares? He’s not fat, he’s still got all his hair, he’s got a smokin’ hot wife that he’s enjoying to the fullest. The guy’s a living legend.
Sherry Baby cover by meee. Audio only, thank God.
The Four Seasons all together in the beginning
