Weird News: February 2006

Jackie Calhoun of Arkadelphia, Arkansas is that man. ... She attempted mouth to mouth resuscitation and CPR. After a few minutes, the chicken responded.

Do you like putting chicken in your mouth? I do but only after it has been appropriately killed, butchered and cooked. I wouldn't put a dead chicken in my mouth until it is ready to serve on my table. But one guy would disagree with that opinion. Jackie Calhoun of Arkadelphia, Arkansas is that man. He arrived home for lunch to find his pet chicken, Boo-Boo drowned in a big puddle. He and his wife attempted to revive the chicken to no avail but thankfully, Jackie's sister, an ex-nurse, happened by the homestead. She attempted mouth to mouth resuscitation and CPR. After a few minutes, the chicken responded. The bird is apparently doing fine now. There was no word on what the Calhoun's ate for dinner that night.

Chicken story…

Kelso: I refuse to believe this is a real story, and prefer to think that CNN.com was duped. The last paragraph is my favorite, although I also like the bit about the chicken's eyes popping open:

Kiss of life makes Boo Boo the chicken better

ARKADELPHIA, Arkansas (AP) — This chicken had lips, just not her own.
A retired nurse saved her brother's chicken, Boo Boo, by administering mouth-to-beak resuscitation last week after the fowl was found floating face down in the family's pond.
Marian Morris said she hadn't had any practice with CPR in years, but she was interested to see if she "still had it."
"I breathed into its beak, and its dadgum eyes popped open," Morris said. "I breathed into its beak again, and its eyes popped open again. I said, 'I think this chicken's alive now. Keep it warm."'
She said she did not know how to find a pulse on a chicken.
Boo Boo's owners, Jackie and Becky Calhoun, put her in a large cardboard box containing a grain feeder and water. They also placed a heater nearby.
The chicken is called Boo Boo because she is easily frightened. The Calhouns thought Boo Boo was startled and flopped into the pond.

Pure Southern Honky Tonk!

My name is Billy Michael Davis. I live in Chesapeake, Va., but I grew up in Vidalia,Ga. It's a little town near Savannah. I really don't remember when I started singing because I grew up doing it.
My father was a great singer and musician as well as my mother's brother, so between them they had me singing most of the time. My mother said I started performing publicly when I was three, but my first memories of performing are when I was about six years old.
My father had what we called "porch pickins" on most Friday and Saturday nights. That sometimes included as many as ten or twelve musicians playing at once. People came from all over for these events because some of the best pickers and singers in the area showed up for them. I always did several songs before the evening was over.
I did a lot of gospel music in church growing up and later on I was in a couple of gospel groups. But later on I discovered beer joints and I knew I had found my niche.
After that I played honky tonks and beer joints throughout the Southeast in several different bands. That is what gave me my style of music. I call it Southern Honky Tonk. The years in clubs show in both my singing and songwriting.
Over the years I've played everywhere from outdoor beer joints to big opry houses and community centers.
I've been in country music for years and have been turned down by almost every major record label and publishing house. They all say they like my music but it is not marketable because it's too country for today’s record buying public. But I believe there are still a lot of traditional country music fans out there.
As long as someone will give me a stage or somebody will buy my records I'll keep on picking and singing.

Steve Bobbitt, a Rod Stewart impersonator, appeared in Everett last week.

No, that wasn't Rod, but a very close facsimile

By Kristi O'Harran
Herald Columnist

The mysterious Rod Stewart sighting in Everett last week is solved.

As I wrote Tuesday, the singer may have dropped by an Everett piano bar. Patrons thought he was the real deal.

It turns out Steve Bobbitt, who has been impersonating the world-famous crooner for 13 years, was hired to come to Everett to perform at a wake.

He stayed Thursday night at the Best Western Cascadia Inn in Everett. Keith Lander, manager at Cascadia Inn, confirmed the guest was an impersonator.

"He looks a lot like Rod," Lander said. "He was a very nice guy."

I agreed. When I reached Bobbitt by phone Tuesday, he was super.

He raved about Everett in a gravelly voice.

"We had a blast there," Bobbitt said. "The people were all great."

After the paid gig, someone said they should drop by Chopstix, and Bobbitt cruised into the piano bar and sang.

"I went just to be silly," he said.

The impersonator was hired to entertain at Rock and Roll Clinic at 1905 Hewitt Ave. in Everett. Iron Maidens, a female tribute band for Iron Maiden, also played at the private party.

Clinic owner Matt "Chewy" Lyons organized the private-party wake for his friend of 40 years, Patrick Connors, 46, who died Jan. 28 at his Lynnwood home.

Connors loved Rod Stewart.

Lyons was surprised anyone would care about celebrity sightings. He often invites stars to his business.

He's invited a Garth Brooks impersonator for a private appearance in mid-May, Lyons said.

Bobbitt, 54, said about 15 years ago, a girlfriend who styled hair said that with the right cut and color, Bobbitt would look like Rod Stewart. She did his hair and sure enough, out on a club date, he was mobbed by two dozen women.

"She said she would change my hair back," Bobbitt, 54, said. "I said 'I don't think so.' "

My friend Judy Sankey of Shoreline saw Bobbitt do his Rod Stewart act at a casino in Reno, Nev., about 10 years ago.

"I sat there with my mouth open," Sankey said. "I could not believe it wasn't Rod Stewart."

Bobbitt met the real performer.

A radio station near his hometown of Chicago gave away a trip to join Bobbitt at a Rod Stewart concert. Bobbitt talked to a guest who attended the concert the night before, then arrived to sit in the front row dressed exactly like Stewart.

"A band member looked down there, pointing to Rod," Bobbitt said. "He would come around the circular stage and look down. I had his curiosity."

When he went backstage and met Stewart, the superstar told Bobbitt his band was all talking about him.

"It was kind of fun," Bobbitt said. "In all honestly I didn't think I looked like him until I met him."

As for Rod Stewart, he's on tour in Australia.

Turns out he didn't jet down under last week, straight from Everett, but I was close.
