[Taft in '52]

"Beware of the Blob.
It creeps and leaps and glides and slies across the floor--right to the door, and all around the wall; a splotch; a blotch.
Be careful of the Blob."

Burt Bacharach
from "The Blob," recorded by The Zanies, Doré Records, 1958;
also by The Five Blobs, Columbia Records, 1958

[Borges]

Burt is a musical genius but and stick to music.

[Red Badger]

Do you know the way to San Jose?

Good, then leave Burt............

[Hayzo]

It's kind of strange when you discover that someone is still alive and totally irrelevant when you thought they were long since dead!

"You'd have to go back before I was born to find a worse one."

I thought he was talking about FDR until I got my calculator out.

[caisson71]

I didn't know this POS was still using up good air. Is this the only way he can get his name in print?

[Mr. Jazzy]

I thought he was dead.



Turns out he is only brain dead.

Hurricane defense? How does one defend against a hurricane? Build high walls? Create an anti-hurricane defense unit? What?

Some entertainers need to

And others just need to SHUT-UP!!!

[SaveTheChief]

What exactly is "hurricane defense"?

The Left's ignorance is breathtaking. Hate Bush for his beliefs on Life, Communism, Terrorists, "Pride", Taxes, Freedom (vs Environment, Gov, etc) but don't just spew hate based on ignorance. I think a lot of people out there hate W because of their own gender-neurosis but then have to assume he is wrong about everything else.

What the world needs now
Is no more Burt
It's the only thing
That there's just too much of...

[My2Cents]

I'm glad when these dopes *out* themselves -- Sheryl Crowe, George Clooney, Celine Dion, Cher, Madonna, Sean Penn -- it means I can add another celebrity to my "don't patronize" list.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Burt Bacharach

Shouldn't he be doing something really important to revive his fame? Say, guest-starring on the Love Boat?

[Tribune7]

You known, once upon a time that guy was famous.

"You'd have to go back before I was born to find a worse one."

- 77-year-old singer Burt Bacharach

I never did get this new math.

2005 - 1980 > 77.

It just doesn't compute.

[Astronaut]

The guy hasn't had a hit in like 50 years! Who cares what this nitwit thinks? The arrogance of the Hollywood types is UNREAL!

[Bigoleelephant]

That's it! No more Burt Bacharach albums for me.

[Ole Okie]

My life began under Calvin Coolidge. I'm older than Burt.

And I have never heard of him. Not only that, I'm not remotely interested in what he's farting out his mouth or anywhere else.

[DocH]

"You'd have to go back before I was born to find a worse one."

Was he born after Jimmy or Bill?

STFU, you has-been piece of crap.

What the world needs now, is less lib-er-als, oh no not for some, but for every-one...

[mlo]

Burt Bacharach is still alive? Who knew?

[eleni121]

Bacharach's comments on anything are about as important as Austin Powers'...maybe less.
