Exclusive Interview by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

“Oh geeze my whole act is basically self-deprecating and satirically autobiographical! I definitely feel I bring out my best comedy that way. Comes natural to me!”—Tommy Gooch

Being half Italian, I was brought up on Italian singers and Italian comedians. The singers always had a unique way of interpreting a lyric, whereas the comedians have a pacing in their comedy that also makes them unique as well. Recently, through Social Media, a platform I use regularly to promote both NewzBreaker & Ringside Report, I came across a video called “Bread & Milk” by Vic Dibitetto. While watching a few of his videos, I came across the gentleman in my column today, Tommy Gooch.

Gooch, is yet another example of an Italian comedian with that pacing in his comedy that cracks me up. If you have not seen his act, Google him and you will be on the floor as I was laughing…

Ladies and Gentlemen, NewzBreaker welcomes Tommy Gooch…

Suntan Charlie: A Word In For Bill Miller

CEO

By Jerry Pearce

In the early months of 1958, Frank Sinatra was in preparation at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, gearing up for what would be his sixth recorded collaboration with arranger Nelson Riddle, the poignantly beautiful “Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely.” Sinatra would later cite the album as his favorite; both he and Riddle would later claim at various times that it contains their best work together as musical partners.

At this point of the 1950s, Sinatra was deep into his obsession with the “concept album,” a formula in which he recorded a collection of songs that were based around a certain theme or feeling, a technique he had begun at Columbia Records some twelve years before and perfected at Capitol. With the songs this time based around the emotions of lonlieness, Sinatra chose a program of twelve songs echoing the sentiments of lost love.

The Jersey Devil: A Legendary Beast Or A Case Of Mistaken Identity?

September 11th, 2016

CEO

By Kristi O’Toole

The historic states along America’s Atlantic Seaboard have given birth to hundreds of ghostly tales and unusual stories over the years. One of the strangest is undoubtedly that of the Jersey Devil, a creature that is believed by some to be a mythical creature and by others, a real-life monster of flesh and blood. Its origins date back to when New Jersey was still a British colony.

“Bread & Milk was the video that went viral and started this whole Social Media ride. It’s up to 15 million views and counting.”—Vic Dibitetto

The power of Social Media is one that I use for both my websites NewzBreaker & Ringside Report to the full advantage. It truly is a media tool at our hands these days which if used correctly, can net some big results… This is where I came across Vic Dibitetto, a man who defines hilarious and uses Social Media to his full advantage, where he has become extremely popular around the world.

To me, Vic, is the mixture of Italian Comedian Pat Cooper & Jewish Comedian Don Rickles. And let me tell you, in the “Book of Berkwitt” that is a huge compliment. His timing, facial gestures and never knowing what the hell he will say next, will have you on the floor. If Vic is in your town performing, go see him. You will not be disappointed…

Ladies and Gentlemen, NewzBreaker welcomes Vic Dibitetto….

She’s Back and We’re Gaga For Perfect Illusion – Breaking Entertainment News

September 9th, 2016

CEO

By Kristi O’Toole

Lady Gaga is back, and we couldn’t be happier!

The much anticipated new solo single from Lady Gaga, “Perfect Illusion”, her first in about three years, and following the disappointing commercial performance of her last album “Artpop” came out Friday.

Gaga has taken a new sonic turn on the track, which was produced by Mark Ronson (“Uptown Funk”), Bloodpop, and Kevin Parker of the rock band Tame Impala. It pares things down to a rawer, more natural instrumentation than the dance pop hits “Bad Romance” or “Poker Face.”

20 Years Later and We’re Still Looking For Blues Clues

CEO

By Kristi O’Toole

Every mid-nineties parent knows who Blue, Magenta and of course Steve are. Every day we welcomed this trio into our home and watched helplessly as they tried to discover what Blue was telling them. Some of us are guilty of blue paw print birthday cakes that stained our children’s mouths for days…not me of course.

This month marks 20 years since the show debuted (feeling old yet? ) and I imagine some are curious as to what old Steve has been up to since he was replaced by that awful ‘Joe’. Aw c’mon, no one ever liked that guy.

Pearce’s Picks: Matt Monro

By Jerry Pearce

“If I had to choose three of the finest male vocalists in the singing business, Matt would be one of them.” — Frank Sinatra.

This week’s selection on “Pearce’s Picks,” is dedicated not to a series of specific albums by a certain artist, but to the artist himself. Like so many of the vocalists of his era, the name Matt Monro is one that deserves to be mentioned once again. If his name doesn’t sound familiar to you, you best be warned to keep reading, and if the name sounds foreign to you, there’s probably a good reason. Born and raised in a suburb of London, England, Monro was not only considered Great Britain’s answer to Frank Sinatra, but also, one of the greatest voices ever to grace record players and stages across the vast Atlantic Ocean and throughout the world.

The Cowman Of Copalis Beach Part III

By Kristi O’Toole

Before the two men headed off into the woods, Jon wanted to feed the families pigs. He grabbed the feed and headed off towards the pen which was located about 100ft from the home behind the barn. As he approached, Jon became concerned because there was no noise coming the pigs. Typically, they would squeal and carry on as food approached. When Jon arrived at the pen he was shocked to see it empty. There were no holes or damage to the gate, the pigs were just gone. Something had the strength to lift two pigs over the fence and carry them off.
