From: katlaughing Well, not knowing anything about the singer, I did go look and am finding the video at the end of http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/12/31/bobby-farrell-boney-m-and-the-legend-of-rasputin/ fun to listen to. Not something I'd go look for, but still a part of pop culture that's fun..no harm in that. |

I used to listen to a lot of disco... on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights... until a I found a young lady who, ah, um, er, liked my dancing... yeah, that's it. When I found out it was better, and easier, to meet young ladies at the grocery or book store, my disco days were over for good. |

From: GUEST,erbert "Does anyone really give a fuck anyway?" well, apart from the countless millions of 40 and 50 somethings all around the world today who derived far more genuine youthful pleasure and happiness from the gloriously tacky glittery pop music of Boney M than they ever could from boring old grandad's musty grim grey 'Folk' world of dubious merriment...??? Yeah, the 70's would have been a much more sensible earnest time without the likes of Boney M and their moral deforming and brain warping malignant progaganda for fun!!!??? ra ra rasputin..!!!!!! |
