Third Week Out, Our Dino's "AMORE" Moves To 7TH PLACE

Hey pallies, the Dinonews is in and gotta 'fess up that I am a bit disappointed....on it's third week out, our Dino's newest Dinodisc "AMORE" has shifted from 1st to 7th place in Billboard's Chart Of Pop Albums. But, certainly that is still very very respectable. This news is reported by the Brits at Reuters and you can checks it out for yourself by clickin' on the tagg of this Dinopost. We'll keep followin' the Dinoaction on this Dinoalbum...wishin' our Dino our best for a return to numero uno...and likes of course for all true Dinoholics our Dino has, is, and will always be #1 in our hearts... Dino-only, DMP

A Rat Pack of Bubblegum

Hey pallies, thoughts you would enjoy this post on our Dino's boypallie Dino Jr.'s swingin' Dinocombo.... Dino, Desi, and Billy. This is from a cool blog tagged Katz Komments. Did not realize that Dino Jr. was only the tender age of 11 when uncle frankie discovered his little musical combo and signed 'em to Reprise Records. Enjoys this very creative and informative bit of Dinohistory. If you wanna read this in it's original format, just clicks on the tagg of this Dinogram (there are more cool pixs with this post). So, so sad that our Dino's youngen' Dino Jr. crashed...truly believe he woulda eventually followed in his daddy-os footsteps.

And, likes as a added bonus pallies, likes checks out the clip of Dino, Desi, and Billy's tune "Not The Lovin' Kind" at the end of this post. Dinodelightedly, DMP

A Rat Pack of Bubblegum




The greatest joy of having a college radio show was that you were allowed, nay, encouraged, to play whatever you want. At least that was the case at WHRW, SUNY-Binghamton, in the early '80's. Proudly I re-introduced Annette Funicello to my listening audience, "Secret Surfin' Spot" being the track of choice.



Another album I was drawn to was Dino, Desi and Billy's I'm a Fool. I'm going on the assumption that most readers would guess there are higher show biz forces at work. Yes, Dino was Dean Martin's son. Sure, Desi was the spawn of Lucy and Desi Arnaz. The real one, not Little Ricky. Billy? Son of joey Bishop perhaps. Nephew of Buddy Hackett maybe? No and no. Billy was Billy Hinche. Who, you are no doubt asking, was this Hinche boy? He was the son of a real estate hawker whose top shelf clients included Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.


The story goes that the boys, fellow classmates at Beverly Hills Catholic School, were rehearsing up in young Martin's room when Uncle Frank came by. As Billy's dad would say, "location, location, location." Suitably impressed, or terribly drunk, Frank thought the trio should be recording for his Reprise label and pronto. Off they went, to the studio where they would be produced by Lee Hazlewood, arranged by Hazlewood and Jack Nitzsche and accompanied by guitar god James Burton and future Derek and The Dominoes drummer and committer of matricide, Jim Gordon.


The album, I'm a Fool, is to my ears, good clean fun and, if you approach it the right way, pretty darn good. Interestingly, the boys taste is Dylan and The Byrds, not British Invasion. Covers of both artists abound. The originals are not. "I'm a Fool" is "Hang On Sloopy" set to different words. "The Rebel Kind" could be an outtake from the Stones Out of Our Head. These folk-rock manques do a passable Byrds imitation. They could have been playing at a local bar. It's only at the end of the last cut, "Seventh Son," that their youth is fully on display. Some immature gibberish about which of the fortunate sons is "the one" as per the song's lyrics, reveals how young they are. Dino and Desi were only 11, Billy 13. Pretty ballsy to take on "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Chimes of Freedom."


What I enjoyed listening to the album today was the innocence of the era, when the sons of the powerful sought to become pop stars, not president.

Rush to apply for 'best job in world' as deadline looms
Almost 23,000 people have applied for 'the best job in the world', including 1,500 Britons, which offers the successful candidate six months in a luxury villa on Hamilton Island, on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and a salary of £69,000.

By Bonnie Malkin in Sydney
Last Updated: 1:27PM GMT 20 Feb 2009

More than 20,000 people have applied for the highly paid job of looking after a tropical island on the Great Barrier Reef Photo: EPA
Once they have settled into their new surroundings, they will be free to explore the surrounding Great Barrier Reef or simply laze on the beach with little to distract them except the responsibility of writing the odd blog about life in paradise.

Interest in the job has been so intense as Sunday's deadline approaches, that Tourism Queensland had to increase its IT support for the website to prevent it crashing.

It was estimated, at its peak, 4,000 people applied for the role each day.

Among the hopefuls were a US soldier in Iraq, a New Zealand travel presenter, and Dean Martin's son, Ricci.

Applications have come from more than 200 countries worldwide, or as Tourism Queensland likes to put it "from everywhere from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe".

Some went to great lengths to showcase their suitability for the job, others simply sat on their sofas and pleaded.

More than 1,500 Britons have applied for the role, the third largest nationality after Americans (7,500) and Canadians (1,800).

Nicole McNaughton, Tourism Queensland spokeswoman, said the office had been overwhelmed by the efforts some hopefuls had gone to.

"Potential applicants have sent out press releases, sourced their own media coverage and established websites dedicated to their applications," she said.

The campaign is part of an attempt by the state to lure visitors back to its tourist hotspots. Queensland's economy is suffering from falling visitor numbers, and is desperate for a shot in the arm.

Applications close at 11.59pm on Sunday. Once the deadline has passed, a team of 15 Tourism Queensland employees will wade through the 60-second video clips to create a 50-strong shortlist. The group will then be subjected to online psychometric testing and whittled down to 10, with the public invited to vote for their favourite, who will make up a wildcard entry into the final 11.

The finalists will then be flown to Queensland for intensive interviews and the winner will be announced on May 6.

But unsuccessful applicants should not despair Ron Clarke, mayor of the Gold Coast near Brisbane, has offered applicants a consolation prize - the job of caretaker at a resort on South Stradbroke Island.

While admitting the salary would be a fraction of the Hamilton Island job, Mr Clarke said the position would be just as invigorating.

Congrats, Dino, on your Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

At the Grammy's last Sunday, after announcing that Dean Martin was the recipient of a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement, Queen Latifah attempted ('cause I know SHE didn't write this) to tie Martin's award in to the next act, by introducing M.I.A. (never heard of her) and Kanye West (wish I hadn't heard of him), T.I. (the famous silent film director, Thomas Ince?), Jay Z and Lil Wayne, who performed "Swagga Like Us." The performance was in black and white, and the men were dressed in tuxes as a tribute to the Rat Pack. In my opinion, a pathetic and awkward segue from Martin's award.





The legendary Martin received a gold record in 2004 for his fastest-selling album ever, which also hit the iTunes Top 10. For the week ending December 23, 2006, the Dean Martin and Martina McBride duet of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" reached #7 on the R&R AC chart. It also went to #36 on the R&R Country chart.


Martin, who passed away in 1995, was at one time the highest paid entertainer in the world. First famous as part of the Martin & Lewis comedy team (Jerry Lewis, who's receiving an honorary Oscar this year), Deano went on to become an esteemed member of the Rat Pack and his movies, recording career and television shows made him one of the most beloved entertainers of all time. In the day, you were extremely lucky to either get a ticket to see Martin & Lewis perform, to see the Rat Pack kibitz or to see Deano perform in Vegas as a solo act.
The pinkie ring I wear, at times, I wear in tribute to this man.


(Incidentally, The Rat Pack was largely responsible for the integration of Las Vegas. Sinatra and Martin steadfastly refused to appear anywhere that barred Sammy Davis, Jr., forcing the casinos to open their doors to African-American entertainers and patrons, and to drop restrictive covenants against Jews.)

Children of Paradise: Gail Martin

Hey pallies, likes just stumbled 'cross this cool article, "Children Of Paradise" from the March 2009 issue of Vanity Fair. Written by "Fair's" national editor Todd S. Purdum, the article is packed with groovy info on many children of the stars as they grew up in the land of Hollywood. I have excerpted below the stories shared by our Dino's girl pallie Gail Martin....givin' us more clues what it was like to be part of family Martin and call Dino daddy-o. If you wanna read this great work of prose in total, just clicks on the tagg of this Dinopost. Oh, how I loves learnin' more and more 'bout our great man and the life he lived with his fam. Dinodiggin', DMP




But Gail Martin, Dean’s second-oldest daughter, and one of his seven biological children from two marriages, didn’t get a car at all—at least not at first—precisely because she was one of so many.

“I said, ‘Look, Dad, every single person in my class is getting a car when they turn 16, every one of them,”’ Martin—now Gail Martin Downey—recalls. “He says, ‘Well, then, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting a ride to school!’ He said, ‘I have seven! They only have, like, two each!’ So it was funny.” Still, there were other advantages. “Dad would say, ‘Look, if you get caught driving, I can do any ticket. Just don’t go west of Whittier, south of Wilshire, north of Mulholland, or east of Doheny Drive. Then I can fix your ticket. Otherwise, watch your driving!”’



Gail Martin Downey, 63, whose best friend was Liza Minnelli, told me, “Somebody asked me a long time ago, ‘So what’s it like to be Dean Martin’s daughter?’ You want to say, finally, ‘Compared to what?’ I always was, you know? And people would say to me, ‘So, you go out to dinner?’ And I said, ‘Oh, we went out to dinner.’ ‘How was the service?’ I said, ‘I don’t know. I was with Dad.’”



Most Saturday nights, Dean Martin and his second wife, Jeannie (who helped raise his children from his first marriage, and three more of theirs together), had a party in their big house on Mountain Drive just above Sunset—often the setting for an argument between Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. “Dad said, ‘Oh, swell! The Saturday-night fights,”’ recalls Gail Martin Downey, who abandoned her own singing career to raise a family and now lives quietly in Rancho Mirage, California, and who would babysit for little Jamie Lee Curtis.

Weeknights involved a stricter regimen. In exchange for letting Dean play golf more or less whenever he wanted, Jeannie insisted only that he be home for dinner with the kids each night by six sharp. One night, while filming a movie with Sinatra, he brought Frank home for dinner right on time, only to find his seven little Martins, the prodigious issue of his loins, each with a guest, filling all the chairs. “And,” recalls George Schlatter, a family friend (and the creator of Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In), “Dean said to Frank, ‘How about that? I fucked myself out of a seat at the dining-room table!’”

ilovedinomartin Dinodialogue Group Celebrates Finishin' Year Numero 3

Hey pallies, likes yesterday is such an important day in Dinohistory not only for our Dino, but also for those Dinoenterprises tagged ilovedinomartin. It was on February 8, 2006 that the ilovedinomartin Dinodialogue group was formed over at yahoo. From that Dinodevotionsite, this here ilovedinomartin Dinoblog was eventually born.

True Dinoholics have been discussin' all thin's Dino for the past three years at the ilovedinomartin Dinopad. Never more then a dozen or so in members, ilovedinomartin has turned into the most active Dinosite in Dinohistory boastin' over 20,000 Dinograms of pure Dinodevotion shared in just three years. There are places with much much larger Dinomemberships, but no one yet as topped ilovedinomartin for the sheer amount of Dinopassion shared.

I would likes to thanks the follow pallies who over the past three years have made this Dinodevotion possible. Most of 'em are no longer active in the work of this Dinopad, but without 'em ilovedinomartin would have never succeeded in it's Dinomission of bein' "the coolest group of the coolest fans of the coolest dude to ever walk the face of the planet." Thanks to pallie Julian from France, pallie Nici from Germany, pallie Keith from North Carolina and pallie Terri from Texas.

Presently the ilovedinomartin Dinosite is experiencin' a lull in Dinoactivity with pallie Terri and I the only active postin' Dinomembers..and have to 'fess up that that brings me much Dinosadness.....but likes I am always Dinohopeful that more true Dinoholics will be attracted in the future to spreadin' the Dinomessage in this Dinoway.

I was so thrilled to learn that our Dino woulda be bein' honored with a Lifetime Grammy Achievement Award on the very calendar date when ilovedinomartin began...February 8.....'cause ilovedinomartin is all 'bout honorin' our Dino..and am thrilled that our Dino directed me likes three years ago to begin the Dinopad on the date that he would eventually receive his due from the music world...I takes that as a read Dinoaffirmation of the Dinowork bein' done by the ilovedinomartin Dinodialogue group.

And as we move into our Dinofuture, just wanna again say that all the honor and the praise goes to our Dino. To checks out the ilovedinomartin Dinodialogue group, just clicks on the tagg of this Dinopost. In our Dino, DMP

When the moon hits your eye...



I have only slight memories of many things when I was young, so the past comes alive on film. The picture I have here is one I remember quite well since a kid - it was framed on a wall of our living room (42nd Ave, Bayside Queens) and family room in (East Hartford). It is my father (Ralph II) lounging alongside Dean martin and Jerry Lewis. I would guess about 1954, and in Atlantic City where my father was a reporter for the AC Press. Obviously it was staged, but the lowly reporter did have an audience with the hottest team in entertainment before their breakup in 1956. A unique photo this is. As the picture has aged, I sharpened added the sepia tone which adds to its aged authenticity. A view at a different era.
