He’s still alive?

Pat Boone has been the King of Rock and Roll and has been for nearly seven decades. He's still alive and he has a radio show on Sirius XM.

Pat Boone was supporting Jason Aldean.   He was saying that the reason Jason Aldean needed to sing the song was because of the ‘moral sickness’ in the big cities.

Yes, we enjoy his show on XM. A nice mixture of prsonal anecdotes and reflections and skillfully curated 50s music.

When I first saw the headline, I thought Pat Boone had defected to the dark side after many years of patriotism and Christian beliefs. Fortunately, Boone is still a good guy.

I totally agree with you. There are far too many FReepers who get easily triggered out of ignorance.

Claim down Pat. Go have some milk and shut it

Thank you for proving once again that some here either don’t bother to read and understand the article before commenting on it.

“Pat should have kept quiet and let most of us with the thought that he had quietly passed away.”

You support canceling Aldean?

“The headline and the first sentence seemingly contradict each other.”

They agree. The key word in the headline is “controversy”.

I do not know Heath’s political affiliation, but I do know that the mob thought he was the brains behind the Bisbee Massacre. The other 4 were hanged legally. All five are buried in Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone.
OH, The store they robbed? Goldwater and Castaneda Mercantile.

YES, That Goldwater.

“Claim down Pat. Go have some milk and shut it”

Reading comprehension challenged much? Pat Boone is spot-frickin on. And your ageism insult should more aptly apply to you, since you don’t seem to “get” what Boone is conveying. Perhaps those advocating for silencing Boone should “shut it”.

“Gospel legend Pat Boone said the country music genre is becoming “sick” after a barrage of attempts to cancel Jason Aldean for filming the music video for an anti-riot song in front of a Tennessee courthouse where critics say a man was hanged 100 years ago.”

“You support canceling Aldean?”

They either support the left in trying to cancel Aldean....

or they’re not bright enough to glean what’s really being said and done re: this issue.

Moron gerbalist.

Should have said....   

Gospel legend Pat Boone said the country music genre is becoming “sick” BECAUSE OF  a barrage of attempts to cancel Jason Aldean for filming the music video for an anti-riot song in front of a Tennessee courthouse critics say a man was hanged 100 years ago.

Well you know by now that you can’t go by headlines.... since everything is geared toward “reaction politics” and click bait titles these days. I have to remind myself not to do that all the time after first getting royally pissed at something intentionally twisted to illicit that effect.

I have read Boone’s political comments for years now and know that he’s a fellow Christian Conservative. A rare one, at that.

Uhm, maybe you and I read different articles, but Pat was supportive of Aldean, and the song. That the opposition to it is a moral sickness.

Not at all.

My pastor actually came to Christ because of Pat & Shirley Boone. They’ve visited our little church in Angleton, Texas, even.
