In reply to the discussion: Pat Boone endorses Todd Akin [View all]speedoo
(11,229 posts)36. Yeah, I remember those early days of rock and roll very well.
And I won't argue with any of your comments. In fact I am ashamed to admit that my very first record purchase was a Pat Boone 45 cover of Little Richard. Long Tall Sally, I believe. But after hearing Little Richard himself, I never bought another Pat Boone record and I soon came to detest Boone after learning about who was really doing those songs the right way and how they were being ignored.

I'd not heard Pat's version before. Really terrible. All the emotion of something dead.

I thought Pat Boone died of Scabies or the Clap or Herpes or Syphillus of the Heart and Brain.

So Boone agrees with Akin. I bet he'd feel differently if his daughter was raped.

Pat Boone is and always has been about as far right wing as anyone can get.

If we shouldn't care about what A-list celebs think, why should we care about below D-list celebs?
