casablancalover2 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Remember the Captain and Tennelle? Now, he's 69, and she's 72! though, I don't know how current the shot on the right is actually.

misswonderly3 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wow, char, you can really tell when people have had cosmetic surgery. I truly don't know why they think it makes them look better. It certainly doesn't make them look younger, in my opinion. Makes 'em look strange. ( I'm referring to the first person pictured. the second lady looks relatively normal.) Edited by: misswonderly on Sep 26, 2012 9:38 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bildwasser Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yep, I remember The Captain and Tennille. Wish I could forget. In hindsight, I suppose they weren't quite that sappy, but they came pretty darn close. And what's with a song called Muskrat Love? One of the most puke worthy titles in pop music. Mary Ann, all the way, so to speak. You know all the cliches: cute, friendly, thrifty, the girl next door type. Still she was sweet. Ginger was too much Hollywood, and frankly I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her make-up case. And didn't Dawn Wells get busted for pot some years back? That certain- ly doesn't hurt her case. You go girl. The Professor really could have made out. Smart, pretty good looking, maybe a little on the serious side, but compared to the Skipper and Gilligan, he looks like a real winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could't (and still can't) stand their stuff. But regarding the song "Muskrat Love" we can't blame them for writing it, although they're certainly guilty of recording it! It was done earlier (in 1973) by the group America (of "Horse with No Name" fame) but recorded first by the song's writer, Texan singer-songwriter Willis Alan Ramsey (on Leon Russell's Shelter label) in 1971. And his original version was entitled "Muskrat Candlelight". It was released on a single in 1972 but was not a hit. Those versions are at least tolerable, and probably can be found on YouTube if anyone wants to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clore Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The Captain does have a classic film connection. His father was Carmen Dragon who composed the scores for INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE and THE STRANGE WOMAN among others.

Sepiatone Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Some of those "Then and Now" comparisons ARE a bit shocking. I can't do it. Haven't the moxie. But others here might try. Check out Carol Burnett and Kenny Rogers. Joan Rivers and Cher. Elton John and Keith Richards. Then again, there's Daniel Day-Lewis, whose "Then and Now" photos probably look much the same, that ****! Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bildwasser Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I didn't realize Muskrat Love had such a detailed history. Since the title and their easy listening mush style were a turnoff, I never wanted to know anything more about it. I've always enjoyed the joke about America being called 'the group with no Neil.' At first I thought Tina looked so bad because this was a candid shot without any makeup or hair styling, but there's a picture of her at some Oscar related function and she still doesn't look very good. Of course she is in her late seventies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the song...but a story I heard years ago was when the two of them did a command performance for Queen Elizabeth, and that was one of the tunes they did. Queen Liz was reported to have commented "Most distasteful" about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casablancalover2 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 thanks for all the kind comments. Yeah, mw, Tina Louise is a one stop tour about hazards of cosmetic surgery. You see her and maybe that sagging jawline could be tolerated a little more. Toni I posted with nose held.. I thought Muskrat Love the low point of the 1970s, and that decade had plenty of low points! Anyway, ready for some more? *Ladies and Gentlemen, Daisy Duke, the Dukes of Hazard.. at age 58.* Edited by: casablancalover2 on Sep 27, 2012 9:32 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
