Sonny Bono Dies
Rod Begbie
Sonny Bono, sixties "pop" star, ex-husband of Cher, and American
politician has died.
Born in 1935, he had a worldwide smash hit with his then wife Cher (Real
Name: Cherlyn Fenn), with their first single "I've Got You Baby".
Sadly, they divorced in 1975, and never spoke to each other again. They
had one daughter, the gay activist "Chastity" Belt.
After a brief career as a restraunter, he decided to enter politics, and
was elected mayor of Carmel in 1988. He went on to enter the House of
Representatives in 1995.
Sunny Bono will be survived by his fifth wife, the English model Maria
Whitaker, and his son, the lead singer of U2, Adam "Clayton" Bono.
He will be sorely missed.
Rod.

No, Cher's real name is Cherylin Sarkissian. You are thinking of
Sherilyn Fenn who was in Twin Peaks.

He died in a skiing accident at Lake Tahoe Monday afternoon. His ex-wife Cher's
last name was Sarkesian (sp). Their single was "I Got You Babe". Their daughter's
name is Chastity Bono. He was Mayor of Palm Springs. His 2nd wife bore him 2 children,
neither of which was U2's Bono (whose given name is Sean Hewitt, not Adam Clayton),

Cher took her name from the famous racehorse Chergar which won the Grand
National three times before being kidnapped in the Lebanon along with
Terry Thomas and Eugene McCarthy.

I last saw Terry Thomas becoming "tired and emotional" in the Bull
Hotel,Gerrards Cross many years ago, in the company of Jimmy Edwards and
anothet well-known comedian, who is still alive (just); they had just
finished filming at Pinewood Studios. However, do you mean Terry

Cher's real name is Cherilyn Sarkisian. "I [not "I've"] Got You Babe [not
"Baby"]" was NOT their FIRST single. It was their first (and essentially) only
big hit, although they did have some top-ten singles as I recall.
>Sadly, they divorced in 1975, and never spoke to each other again.
They've spoken to each other many, many times since the divorce, and
appeared together on "Late Night With David Letterman" in 1988.
>They
>had one daughter, the gay activist "Chastity" Belt.
Cute. Her name is Chastity Bono, and she is also planning a run for Congress
in the future.
>After a brief career as a restraunter, he decided to enter politics, and
>was elected mayor of Carmel in 1988.
No, that was Clint Eastwood. Sonny Bono was the Mayor of Palm Springs,
elected in 1990.
>He went on to enter the House of Representatives in 1995.
Correct. Hey, not bad.

>Whitaker
His fourth wife, and her name is Mary.

Funny. He had four children (Chastity, two with Mary, and one other from a
previous marriage), none of which were named Adam, Clayton or Bono (as a
first name). U2's Bono's real name is Bono Hewson, BTW, and he's the lead
singer. Adam Clayton is the drummer.
>He will be sorely missed.
By those who remember him, perhaps.

1st, you must have your own dill. Then find your Dill-holer, switch off
the safety lock, pull the chain, and adjust the manual choke until all
23 cylinders are running harmoniously. Shoulder the larger end, grasp the
positional lever (using safety gloves, naturally), and gently place the
oscillating edge (and not either of the fixed edges) in the exact center
of your dill. Do not force the Dill-holer into the dill; allow the device
to do it's job, and you will be ecstatic over the resulting dillhole.

No, he's an illegitimate white son of Adam Clayton Powell, who in the
1960s held one of the jobs Sonny Bono held in his life. (No, not
session musician for Phil Spector.)

I suspect Cher has had multiple names (through marriages, etc.) but I have it
from three reliable sources (two almanacs and an encyclopedia) that her "real
name" (which I presume to be her original name, or birth name) is Cherilyn
Sarkisian. I've never seen her first name spelt with an "S". I'd welcome any
correction of course, as I'm no expert with celebrity pseudonyms.

Sarkisian is correct,though before she married Sonny she used LaPiere as
well.

I don't think he's the Lone Ranger. I thought he was the guy who wrote the

Given the stories that are circulating about Sonny Bono's sense of humor,
I think he would have gotten a kick out of the original post. I thought
it was very clever, and not disrespectful of him at all.

I was actually referring to a post made later on.It contained very
thinly veiled jokes about the late Michael Hutchence.I won't name
the original poster.He knows who he is.

Bono's real name is Paul Hewson, and Adam Clayton is the bassist. The
Edge's real name is David Evans. The drummer is Larry Mullin, Jr, whose
brother Chris is an MP. Chris Mullin's work secured the freedom of the
Birmingham Seven, a story later told in the film ``Seven'', where he was
played by Keanu Reeves.

Can't be him, he's the brother of the American horror film star Lon Mower,
star of many cheap 50s werewolf films.

Don't be daft: that was Anita Harris, sister of Keith, the annoying Australian

Well at least the local stations didn't play one of my favorite
John Denver songs when he died - "Forest Lawn" - back in his 'folk'
days.
It starts out "Lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket. "
They probably just overlooked it as they show no taste at all most
of the time.

You omit to say how big your dill/s is/are, and how many. Also what about
the texture and moisture content? Even acidtiy levels may need to be taken

Perhaps Sonny Bono was trying to use his sooper-dooper OT-7 mind-control
powers to "put an intention" on the tree to move out of the way?

non-adjusting, non-powerglide transmission version. The new 23-cylinder
full rotary model Dill-holer -- called the model 23 "Dill-All" -- adjusts
to changing surface resistances encountered when piercing the outer crust
of your dill. As long as the bit size is approximately equal to the surface
area of your dill, you're on easy street.
As far as salinity/acidity levels go, the titanium edges of the Dill-All
guard against unwanted rust, lime, or corrosion.
