Lol!

Some facts about Pat Boone:

- Boone sported a clean-cut image that appealed to white teens and parents.

-His teen idol popularity in the late 1950s was second only to that of Elvis Presley

-A devout born-again Christian

-In his first film, April Love, he refused to give co-star/film love interest Shirley Jones an onscreen kiss, because the actress was married in real life.

-Trinity Broadcasting Network, a Christian TV network, drops Pat Boone's gospel show after the release of his mock heavy-metal album, Pat Boone in a Metal Mood, and his appearance on the American Music Awards where the usually clean-cut crooner sported black leather and fake tattoos. Boone's reply: “They didn't get the joke!”

And now, Pat Boone is indead a gold bug, lol.

The fact is, we need the Pat Boones of this world to ride the gold bull as well.

Ciao

BTW, didn't claim your grub ;O)

Hi SL

Reminds me of the get rich quick ads for real estate - I hope we see more of these over the next couple of years.
