JCC Apparently love won't keep Captain and Tennille together

Captain And Tennille File For Divorce After 39 Years Of Marriage

I am dumbfounded. Seriously, they've been married almost 40 years, are both in their 70s. What's the point? Is he upset that she probably earns more in royalties for singing "rape, murder" on "Gimme Shelter" than they earned on the royalties for all their own songs combined.

 

If I had a shot for every time a (famous) marriage ended in divorce, I'd be a regular at the Betty Ford clinic.

 

I was just about to post this. Oh well. Now I shall plant this song in your heads and it will replay all day.

 

Found this on TMZ. She's divorcing him because of health insurance reasons.

So, President Obama, apparently not only can you not keep your old plan, you can't even keep your old spouse.

(sorry, i couldn't resist).

 

Damn that Obama! What does he have against love & marriage anyhow?

 

Does he get to keep the hat?

 

Given how brutal celebrity divorces can be, I wouldn't be surprised if that was all he kept.

 

*joke about muskrats*

 

She probably caught him in bed pounding a different muskrat.

 

I misread this and thought Captain von Trapp was divorcing someone.

 

She's not singing on Gimme Shelter, Merry Clayton is.

 

So they're staying together all? Yay!

 

the production of that song is an incredible feat of engineering.

 

They should learn from Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

 

Yeah... open marriages are the way to go.

 

WAAAAL SMAAAATH

 

Well now I've got that song in my head again.

 

it actually supplanted the entirety of phil collins' ouevre?

 

They've never had an open marriage.
