People Magazine announced their “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2023 and the Winner is… Patrick Dempsey aka the former “Dr. McDreamy” from Grey’s Anatomy… the Medical Drama he left in 2015.

I had lunch with him one day in the cafeteria at Sinai Hospital in Detroit. The idea was to see how long it would take for the Nurses to realize that “Dr. McDreamy” was sitting across from me having lunch.

Let’s just say within five minutes “Dr. McDreamy” had more Nurses attending to him that an ICU patient during a Code Blue… and “Dr. McDiscJockey” (that’s me) was left sitting eating my cup of Sugar-Free Jell-O.

It’s not easy being the Wingman for the “Sexiest Man Alive”… but somebody’s gotta do it!

The last “new” Beatles song, “Now and Then,” was released last week… using Artificial Intelligence to separate out John Lennon's vocal tracks, then incorporating Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr's musical additions.

- I was curious about the whole “AI” thing… but it turns out, even “Artificial Intelligence” was smart enough to edit Yoko Ono’s vocals out of the final mix!

An Oregon jury awarded a man $1.4 MILLION after he claimed his landlord stole his pet cat following the feline’s mysterious disappearance.

- The man wasn’t supposed to reveal the amount of the settlement… but he let the Cat out of the bag.

The Oregon Department of Education just decided that basic “Reading, Writing and ‘rithmetic” are not required for students to get a high school diploma. They just voted to extended a rule - put in place during the pandemic - that gets rid of PASSING GRADES as a requirement to Graduate from High School through 2028.

- I guess it makes sense. How much Education do you need to make a Sign and Protest something you know absolutely NOTHING about??

After the great response we got to the pic and story about 11 year old Detroit singer Lia Lucci yesterday… Her Dad sent me a video of her singing “I Will Always Love You” at Andiamo’s last Friday Night during Las Vegas star Frankie Scinta’s show, and I’m going to post it at the end of the blog tomorrow! She’s a great kid with an amazing voice!!!

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Thursday!
