If Not For These 'Controversies,' I'd Forget There Still IS A Miss America Pageant
-
Next year, the Miss America Pageant is regaining some of the tradition it lost when it moved to Vegas by coming back to Atlantic City, but it will be without another key tradition: They won't play the Miss America song. Blasphemy! But it's not the pageant's fault, and it's not the first time it's been missing. It's about the songwriter's widow and a lawsuit she filed saying that the pageant didn't have the right license to use the song. Last year, instead of "There she is...," they used an instrumental. Little Known Fact: The same songwriter, Bernie Wayne, wrote "Blue Velvet" and the Chock Full O' Nuts jingle (all together now, "Chock Full O' Nuts is the heavenly coffee...").
