RIP Slim Whitman

[cbelt3]

My dad loved his music... all the cowboy music. It was a 50's thing. That and he always wanted to be a cowboy, but being a professor was his ultimate calling.

I love Slim Whitman. If you forget the commercials and just listen to his records, they are great.

Those commercials were on when I was a teenager, and I thought he was just too weird. I wish I knew then what I know now! I wasn't open-minded enough at that age to appreciate his kind of music.

And using his music to defeat the Martians was damn funny.

My condolences to anyone who actually ever listened to his music beyond the snippets that kept repeating in that infomercial that defined syndicated television in the seventies...

You just couldn't resist making a snide remark, could you? Maybe one day you'll acquire some tact. What an asshole.
And yet you thought the martian quip was hilarious. No opportunity missed to fight with other forum users, huh?
