For those, this was a famous sensationalistic headline from the 80s.
The real story of 'Headless Body in Topless Bar,' as argued by veterans of the 'Post' (Politico)
Was jay gatsby like that?
I hate it when that happens in bars.
If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs...
The GOAT of headlines.
Oddly the song playing on the jukebox was “Hold Your Head Up” by Argent.
“Hang on, Vinnie, we’re not a hundred per cent sure it’s a topless bar!”
Vinnie jumped on top of his desk and waved his arms.
“It’s gotta be a topless bar!” he cried. “This is the greatest f——— headline of my career!”
Vinnie got his wish. The topless-bar angle checked out, and within minutes the presses were rolling.
You should never lose your head in a topless bar. 😀
I also like the "Win a 50G Fortune Today!" across the top of the page. Does anybody remember the "Wingo" games that the tabloids used to run? The Boston Herald had those too.
Charles Dingle died in prison about 10 years ago.
I remember NY area Wingo commercials.
Any word on the guy who wrote “Plane in crash was too low to the ground”?
“Homicide victims rarely talk to police.”
