Dig how he mentions himself in the same breath as Springsteen and others.

The old fart sure can use anything for another comeback.

1. That does it - I'm burning all my Pat Boone Records!!!

Oh, yeah, I don't HAVE ANY!

:evilgrin:

[Bandit]

2. Well I won't be wearing my White Bucks anytime soon

:shrug:

[klook]

4. Now THAT made me laugh out loud!!

I'm burning...mine......too. Nevermind.

[klook]

3. Hilariously embarrassing

"...boasts that Elvis used to be his opening act..."
In reality, Pat was copying Elvis who was copying then-unknown black artists.

"I prayed about being a singer, and opportunities have been put in my lap. You think God gave me 'Ain't That a Shame' to sing and 'Tutti Frutti?' Yes, I do."
No actually, Pat, it was Fats Domino who gave you "Ain't That a Shame," and Little Richard who gave you "Tutti Frutti."

What a pathetic putz. Typical Republican, doing schmaltzy, watered-down, derivative stuff and then claiming you're something original and vibrant.

6. I agree.

It's really sad, the twisted logic and verse this old fart uses.

[UdoKier]

5. Here's a funny pic of Boone...

7. So?

He once owned a Vienna Sausage in a box? So what? ;-)

[PsN2Wind]

8. His singing

ain't much either.

[Leilani]

9. LOL!!!

This thread is hysterical....have to be old enough to appreciate this.

10. It looks like this could be a real jumpstart for his career:

*snip*
Recently Boone, 70, was nicknamed the boy singer du jour.

His single, "Under God," leapt from No. 35 to No. 20 on Billboard's Hot 100 sales charts, and went gold.

(I can just see Trent Lott and the other bad boys of the GOP fist pumping to Pat)

(This one shows Boone's "street cred")

Asked what he wouldn't sing, Boone quickly rallies, "I'm not going to do songs that call women bitches and ho's."

"I've actually written a rap song called 'Backbone.' It addresses the three plagues killing young people: drugs, violence, disease-producing promiscuity."

[Lin]

15. At 70? Boy singer? Is that BeltwayBoys logic??

He wrote a rap song?! Ole Pat's just trying to hand us punchlines right? :bounce:

[FredScuttle]

16. There's really one prominent plague killing our young people

That would be * shipping their ass off to die in Iraq

[olddem43]

11. He's the crook that was sued for fraud -

selling fake acne treatment to teenagers.

[Parche]

12. pat boone

More like Pat Boner
Maybe he will wear his plaid adder polyester psycho suit

[NightTrain]

13. I hate that motherfucker.

Pat Boone is the Antichrist of rock 'n' roll. He has been a carbunkle on the ass of my favorite music for 50 goddamned years. I hope he dies of shock when Bush gets his ass handed to him on November 2nd.

[shraby]

14. It pissed me off when

his daughter had that hit "You Light Up My Life" and he tried to steal her thunder.

[JohnnyRingo]

24. Kudos to you for using "carbuncle" in a sentence.

It took the likes of Pat Boone to prompt it.

[kskiska]

17. When I was a teenager back in the 50s

I liked Elvis (he was a greaser back then) and my mother hated him. She said, "Why can't you be like Jane (a nerdy girl down the street)? She likes Pat Boone." I had a good laugh.

[PassingFair]

18. Eeeuuuuwwww! Remember him in his black leather get-up?

"You think God gave me 'Ain't That a Shame' to sing and 'Tutti Frutti?'

NO, I think you bought them from more talented African-American singer/songwriters, you whitebread hack!

[chaumont58]

20. He is an embarassment

I'm white and I get embarrassed when I hear any part of Pat Boone singing Tutti Frutti. I was a teen ager in the 50s. One of the first albums I bought was Little Richard's with Tutti Frutti on it.
White people can't jump and they ain't got rhythm.

[daa]

19. Is he still alive??? eom

[NightTrain]

21. Depends on your definition of "alive."

:P

[NightTrain]

22. Aaaaaapril Love can slip right through your fingers...

...just like the White House can. Right, George? :kick:

[graywarrior]

23. Doesn't he golf with Alice Cooper?
