Will Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar be part of the reunion?

[Jon Stebbins]

... amongst the white audience as well (albeit relatively speaking, being 10% of the total population). Their version of "For Your Precious Love" was a #1 smash hit. Which caused some confusion that year. The Flames were nominated for hit of the year in '68, but the jury decided that a non-white group shouldn't be awarded...

The Flame aren't white?

Have you even seen Blondie and Ricky? Never mind Steve and Brother Fataar. Seriously?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw them live in 73. Seen their pictures on some LPs, too.
I guess what you're saying is they're not white, eh? 
I thought they were from one of the Mediterranean countries like Spain, France,Italy or Greece, maybe.
 Are you sure They're not white?

I've spent some time with Blondie...he is for sure part white, i think his mom was white. He's got pale eyes, very light skinned. His accent is Brit/Durbin...exactly like Keith Richards but with some kind of an Irish twist. So Blondie, yeah he's white and black. Ricky is a whole different thing...darker skin and eyes, but very straight hair and non native African features, he does look more Spanish. His brothers looked more African than him. The controversy surrounding The Flames in South Africa was not that they were black, it was that they were mixed. I think Bgas was alluding to this in a very existential way.

Apologies to AGD for not being clever

Not for South African standards at the time... 


And please back on-topic now folks, I'm affraid we don't get each others jokes anymore. Use those Smileys               etc etc  if you think the topic might get a bit sensitive, and before you might get misunderstood....

I was always taught that the main quality of a joke was it being funny, or at least amusing. Someone acts like a moron around me, surprise !, they get treated like one.

How should we treat a condescending tiny-dick jerkoff?

[Mikie]

Oooooooooooooooooooo.   Low blow.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Oooooooooooooooooooo.   Low blow.

S'OK - he's only making comparisons with what he's familiar with. I would, however, have expected a Global Moderator to have adopted a slightly higher tone of admonishment. Indeed, I would have expected a Global Moderator to have refrained from commenting in a thread that wasn't directed at him in the first place. Not good for the image or level of respect.

[Mikie]

And before anyone gets pissy with me, I refuse to believe a collector of the caliber of bgas (and he's one of the very biggest).

Yeah, maybe, but he doesn't have the sheet music to "Surfin'"!

Hence my qualification.

I think he's as concerned with his 'image or level of respect' as you are with being an asshole most of the time.

[Jonas]

I'm not sure which thought is more entertaining. Your expectations of the global moderators, or our expectations for a former honored guest.

Jesus friggin' shitballs... people...chill the hell out. I for one didn't find the original post funny in the least , so I can understand the reaction. With that in mind...

*everyone* needs to quit sniping at each other. Get back on topic. If someone has a problem with someone, take it to PMs.

[SurfRiderHawaii]

I find the Rutles funny!

It be nice, if there was no date conflict with the Stones and Bonnie, that Blondie and Ricky play
at this big free concert being discussed.  Just don't see them on a full blown tour $-wise.

Nice Brian/Blondie story here:

[Pretty Funky]

I still do not conceive much $-wise for anyone this late in the game  to be honest.

[Mike's Beard]

Blondie for sure would be taking a pay cut to perform with The 'Boys.

[DonnyL]

Ricky Fataar is from South Africa but his ethnicity is "East Indian", according to Mike Love in an early '70s interview.

[The Heartical Don]

Just went through this thread for the first time. Fascinating. Talking about a reunion that most likely will remain hypothetical. But halfway through things go awry.

I saw a headline in there:

'Famous High Brow Fan Site Collapses Under Massive Feud Over Imaginary Reunion'

...only with the Beach Boys. I need a drink.

You're welcome Steve!  It does sound awesome!

the album is also on iTunes. Blondie also sings lead on two other tracks; "Home" and "Utopia".

I have a tiny dick as well.

[Mikie]

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, your condition is incurable but not terminal.

[rogerlancelot]

I have a tiny dick as well.

Don't they have surgical penis enlargements available?

You have to get Mikie to handle that end !

[summerinparadise.flac]

I'm happy the way I am.

It's not the size of your tube snake, but rather how well you make it spit. 

[Mikie]

Damn! You can get away with pretty much anything on this board! Even the "Global Moderator" chimes in with risque stuff! I thought this was a family board. What do you guys "moderate" anyway? Just fights between posters? I wanna be a Global Moderator too! 

Aaahhh, the POWER!
