Viva Wayne Newton
So, there's Wayne Newton, singing the opening song for the NBA All-Star Game in Las Vegas. In some strange way, it's a perfect match - A make-believe game in a make-believe city with a star made by the make-believe city. He's standing up on the top of some lighted Plexiglas stairway singing "Viva Las Vegas". Nice. Well ... I can't really see his face moving, presumably as a result of the thousands of dollars spent on cosmetic surgery. Then, I think about the theme ... of course, he would sing "Viva Las Vegas". Wayne Newton and Las Vegas go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Las Vegas paid for all that surgery. I'd sing my little silicone-enhanced heart out too, if I owed as much to one city as he does. Although, the lusting after Beverly D'Angelo in that Vegas Vacation movie still sceeves me a little ... a lot.
