Judy Tenuta on Blogstein

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

judy-tenuta.jpgComing up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday April 29th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

Radio Jesus will come face-to-face with the leader of “Judyism” when Dr. Blogstein and Dangerous Lee welcome the offbeat, wacky and just plain wild Judy Tenuta.

The comedienne known as “The Love Goddess” will be the Honorary Conductor at the 71st Annual Celebrity “Battle of Batons” on Sunday May 4th at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. Not bad for an accordion player who’s albums include “Buy This Pigs” and “Attention Butt Pirates and Lesbetarians.”maltzman.JPG

Also this week, celebrity design guru Evette Ríos on EIGHT O’CLOCK® COFFEE and the free wedding they’re throwing one lucky couple on 08.08.08 and artist Daniel Maltzman (right).

All that plus , Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge to chat live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman and we’ll take your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge-a live chat room during show time-is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!

But if you can’t and miss us live, we’re ALWAYS ON at www.DrBlogstein.com

The Art of Making Money or Making Money Art?

The Art of Making Money or Making Money Art?


Two very different subjects, one far more interesting than the other. By the amount of advertising you see here on
Dr. Blogstein (none!), you can guess which of the two I find more interesting: Making Money Art

Is it just me or does everyone enjoy getting their change back from a cashier and noticing someone drew a mustache and glasses on George Washington’s face? I never thought it was just me, and now a visionary by the name of John Bitter has confirmed my belief.


Bitter, who is also known as “The Burrito King of Charlotte, N.C.” (not to be confused with Abe Froman who is the “Sausage King of Chicago”), is also someone who is oddly drawn to money that is drawn upon.

Bitter is the owner of Johnny Burrito, a lunchtime landmark in downtown Charlotte, N.C., jammed with customers from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., most of whom pay in cash. He made a practice of setting aside bills with interesting markings, messages and drawing on it.

We’ve all seen them: Perhaps a dollar with ball-point lettering around the margins that reads “ST. LAZARUS, ANYONE WHO RECEIVES THIS BILL WILL BE BLESSED WITH A LOT OF MONEY IF THEY WRITE THIS MESSAGE ON TEN OTHER BILLS.” Or maybe a written or stamped slogan like: “LEGALIZE POT” “DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS” or “IMPEACH BUSH.” Some even with lunch orders or phone numbers scribbled on them.

Luckily, Bitter doesn’t keep these to himself. With the help of the World Wide Web, he stores these bills for us all to enjoy on www.uglymoney.com

There are over 300 “ugly” bills on his site worth more than $1,750! Its The Museum of Moron Art! Its surely worth the visit–Would Dr. B steer you wrong?
