The good thing about having lasted so long in this business we call show is that I\u2019ve grown up with many of the people I write about.  The acclaimed Thirsty Burlington <\/strong>and I go back a LONG way.  Long before I started writing this column, I spent years hosting shows in my native Boston.  One of the regulars in attendance was the young Scott Townsend<\/strong>.  To have watched Scott transform himself into Thirsty Burlington, one of the world\u2019s premier Cher<\/strong> impersonators, has been a joy for me.  But that was nothing next to the joy I felt watching the film Thirsty<\/em><\/strong> and seeing how this extraordinary person developed.  It was also a pleasant surprise to see my friend Jonny Beauchamp <\/strong>play Scott in his early years!  If you are a fan or new to the Burlington brand, this is a film I cannot recommend enough.  You can grab it on Amazon<\/a> <\/em>or watch it on Amazon Prime<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m still Thirsty for more Burlington, it\u2019s time to end another column.  I forgot the worst part of the holidays \u2013 peppermint bark.  Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love it\u2026a bit too much.  So while I am out doing a few extra thousand steps, you can check out www.BillyMasters.com<\/a> <\/strong>– the site that\u2019s always a step ahead of everyone else.  But even while exercising (or eating), I can respond to your every need.  Drop a note to Billy@BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/b>, and I promise to get back to you before Pope Francis starts giving out Bibles with a strip of condoms as a bookmark!  So, until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
