Pat Boone dreams of civilian uprising removing Obama then installing him as president
March 15, 8:33 AM

Entertainer Pat Boone in a WorldNetDaily column writes that he dreamed that an uprising removed all U.S. government leaders and when the dust settled he was president. In the column he begins with his dream new bulletin:

News Bulletin: In a stunning, unprecedented civilian uprising, President Obama, Vice President Biden, Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid were recalled and sent packing. Practically overnight, responding to the national emergency, an extraordinary election propelled entertainer/activist Pat Boone into the White House. The new president just revealed his first-term agenda. ...

Wow, I had this crazy dream last night! Maybe it's something I ate, or more likely, all the insane stuff we've all been hearing constantly on the news. I say "insane" because the measures and pronouncements being made by our president and our Congress – without consulting at all with the folks who elected them! – are truly the stuff of nightmares. But it's all happening, in real time and right before our eyes.

In his dream he lays out a detailed agenda; replacing Treasury Secretary Geithner with Steve Forbes, forcing bailed out companies to file bankruptcy, extending temporary assistance to those losing jobs as a result and a zero-sum budget that he “…would defend with my life and honor.”...

1. I couldn't get beyond the first bar

THAT is metal? Sounds like big band mainstream music to me. Boone has always made me retch, even when he was singing in the '50s. My opinion of his "talent" has not changed.

2. What an awful voice, why was he ever popular?

[GoesTo11]

3. OMG Must get this album

Pat Boone: In a Metal Mood

1. You've Got Another Thing Comin'
2. Smoke On The Water
3. It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)
4. Panama
5. No More Mr. Nice Guy
6. Love Hurts
7. Enter Sandman
8. Holy Diver
9. Paradise City
10. The Wind Cries Mary Pat Boone
11. Crazy Train Pat Boone
12. Stairway To Heaven

Pat Boone was the ultimate straight-laced white bread guy in the 50's and 60's. He's the father of Christian muse Debbie "You light up my life" Boone. He took Elvis songs and Little Richard songs and toned them down for more conservative audiences - LOL.

Whatever his politics, you have to admire his sense of humor doing this in the 1990s. This is totally hilarious.

5. OMFG!

WOW! :rofl:

I never knew Mr Dick In A Box did this. It reminds me of those Rhino "Golden Throats" CDs from the 90s that had the likes of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Eddie Albert, Sebastian Cabot, Mae West and Telly Savalas "singing".

This must rank right up there with Farrakhan's calypso album(with the emphasis on "RANK")

:rofl:

[whathehell]

8. Yes...During the fifties, when he made a couple of movies,

he had a rule that he wouldn't even kiss an actress on screen.

..I about flipped when that album came out..I thought..What the frig is THIS?..Middle-Age Meltdown...But by that time, he had to be pushing sixty.

4. I'm open-minded about music, but... wow...

Don't get me wrong, it's not that it's Pat Boone per se - I'm a fan of stuff from that period like Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, etc. I'm also a BIG fan of metal and of Judas Priest.

But this just does not work for me. At all.

6. yeah, but have you ever heard steve & eydie sing

black hole sun?

9. It gets better. He was heavily attacked by fundies for this!

Excerpt:

Explaining how the idea for his heavy metal album originated, he told about his musical conductor saying, "We're doing all of these oldies of yours, all these gold record songs that are 20,30,40 years old. Can we go in and do something new, something different?" Boone said, "Guys, I'd love to. I'll pay for it, but what do you think we can do that I haven't already done ten times? I've done forty gospel albums, I've done pop albums, folk and country, and every kind of thing. And they said, 'You never did any heavy metal.' Well, we laughed because it was ludicrous, it was a joke. But then Dave Seeble said, 'You know, there are some really good songs hidden under all that noise and all that anger and all that distortion."' Good songs? Any believer with even a small amount of spiritual discernment would identify them as evil and filthy!

10. Boone is a fundie nut, but this was really very clever

Modern pop music tends not to get the historic idea of an "arrangement," that you can do the song with entirely different instruments and in a different key and singing instead of screaming, and it will still be the same song. Boone's rearrangements of heavy metal songs with orchestral accompaniment were really brilliant, and I have to admit I like listening to them even though I don't like the man much.
