If your mother tells you it’s a topless bar, check it out…

Musetto immediately thought of the “topless” headline but needed confirmation that Cummings’ watering hole was, in fact, a jiggle joint.

Reporter Maralyn Matlick jumped on a garbage can, looked inside the bar and spotted a sign, “Topless Dancing Tonight.”

“Someone said it might be a topless bar, but we weren’t sure, and then the idea of the headline came around, so we were really questioning to make sure it was a topless bar,” Musetto recalled.

“We sent the reporter, this girl, and she so determined that it was a topless bar. I just wrote it, and everyone said `ha ha,’ but I didn’t think it would live in infamy.”
