You know Benny and the Jets spent a lot of time touring and backing 1960's recording artist Freddy Boom Boom Cannon. He is being considered for the "Hit Parade Hall of Fame" and asked if we could help pass the word and get him some votes!

Freddy Cannon, a stage name invented by the owner of Philadelphia's Swan label, which released Freddy's records through 1963.

My friend Bob Harris who owns the Bargain Hunter newspaper has kind of had the paper on hiatus for the last several months. He can't seem to find anyone to sell advertising and do a lot of the leg work that is required to put out a paper. I thought about helping him set up an edition or maybe doing some kind of publication similar to the that coffee news you see at all the restaurants. But... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bennyjet) http://bennysmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/584 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 06:03:08 GMT http://bennysmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/415/t/you-might-be-from-Detroit-IF-.html soooooooooo

Is it me or is it hot in here? I guess it is officially summer. Pretty soon we may be calling this column the Benny, Bob and Don Nicholson show. Or, we could list the names by AGE. Which would be the Benny, Don and Bob show.

Did we mention our partner Bob Harris celebrated his 77th birthday on 07-07-07. I have to tell you Bob, I want to see some ID on that. I am kind of surprised Entertainment Tonight or at least Ch 7, didn't do something on that date.

OK, here we are boys and girls, another edition of the Bargain Hunter Entertainment News. Featuring Bob Harris and yours truly Benny Speer. He is known as the oldest Rolling Stone fan, the guy who tried out for Deal or No Deal and the guy who is trying to find someone to help him write a book about his life story in the Detroit entertainment scene.

Did I mention I got a new dog? Did I mention it took me 2 months to name him? He is a big hairy St. Bernard/ Sheppard mutt looking dog, named Bo Diddley or Mr. Bo or Bo Bo or damn dog.

In the band news department I got a e-mail about former Jet drummer Mike McGuigan from his brother Mark.
I guess Mike had been working as a guard at the State Fair grounds and got attacked/hit by a truck. Not once but three times. He is alive and will recoup but doesn't sound life fun.

Boy oh boy is it fall already? We got so hot for a few days and now it got cold last night and it is still August. Back to school ads on TV, promos for Alice Cooper at the State Fair, pumpkin pie, cider and donuts, trees turning color, no it is all too soon.
