Scoot Paisant is a beloved radio personality who has been entertaining and informing the citizens of New Orleans and beyond for 50 years, and that's something to celebrate. Scoot was honored for his decades of service at the reopening party at Generations Hall in the Warehouse District. The storied event hall was decked out in 1980s nostalgia for the night, and a cast of characters including Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince were in attendance to entertain. Even Scoot himself, who was introduced by rocker Rick Springfield via video, got into the act with his own Prince and nun costume changes.

Here's to more years of Scoot's soothing voice on the airwaves!
