Captain and Tenille are divorcing.

[Are_grits_groceries]

Will no one think of the muskrats?

[smokey nj]

1. Love didn't keep them together.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

28. Dammit. So late seeing this. IT was my first thought

[DeSwiss]

33. And yet.....

...lasted 5 times the average marriage.

- I'm sure the residuals were pretty thin there, toward the end......

''It is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical will live the relation to another as something alive.'' ~Rainer Maria Rilke

[smokey nj]

41. True.

[yeoman6987]

52. Married 39 years and in their 70's

I have heard people doing this but it seems kind of weird. I know that elderly sometimes change and become mean especially if they have some kind of disorder. Perhaps that may be the case. However for better or worse????? I hope it is just that they fell out of love and not something like medical caring for one of them.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

61. No, but it did keep James Bond and 80-year-old Mae West from splitting

Their rendition is one for the ages:

[smokey nj]

69. Damn, that was creepy.

[arthritisR_US]

2. What?! Love won't keep them together? nt

[whatchamacallit]

60. "What ever" became "Whatever" n/t

[shenmue]

3. No

[demwing]

4. Maybe some sweet talking girl came along

Singing her song?

[Bonobo]

5. +1 nt

[Ilsa]

6. LoL. Nope. The Captain was shocked.

Didn't see the divorce papers coming.

Married 39 years.

[tXr]

57. Don't mess around, you just got to be strong!

Poor Captain.

[liberal N proud]

7. The end of Muskrat Love

[jtuck004]

8. Muskrat Susie and Muskrat Sam may just be trying to cover health expenses

Daryl tells TMZ ... "I don't know why she filed. I gotta figure it out for myself first." He also said they're still living together in the same house.

And there's some discussion about better coverage for him as a single to cover his Parkinsons.

Love might keep us together, but health insurance rips us apart.

9. Time to shop around...

[reddread]

10. Walked away from a piece of history once, this story pours a little salt in

Passing through the Starving Musician, or whatever it was called in Santa Clara, a piece of gear caught my eye, but
somehow I couldnt justify the $85.00 for a bit of genuine music history. I kick myself regularly for that mistake.
An Emulator sat there for sale. Their first model, a very simple device without the necessary boot disc, so essentially a doorstop,
although I probably had direct access to one of the company honchos.
Serial number "0001" give or take a few zeros.
The extra cool thing about that "first" production unit is that there were two of them made.
Both Stevie Wonder and Daryl Dragon insisted on buying the first unit.
So they both got "0001" stamped Emulators.
I had to assume that wasnt Stevie Wonder's Emulator.
No idea how the Captain used it, cant say I had any records other than maybe that HUGE single.
Amazing how far success will take you before leaving you in need of affordable health care.
Best of luck to both of them.
*kick*
doh
*kick*
doh
*kick*
dumbass!

[riqster]

11. That's gotta hurt.

[Bluenorthwest]

20. 001 was Stevie's, Darly got 002. Yep.

'Actually,' Wedge confesses, 'we had promised number 001 to Daryl Dragon of the Captain & Tenille. I'm not sure if Daryl ever really understood why he didn't get number 001. We were tempted to make two -- one for Stevie Wonder and one for Daryl Dragon -- because Daryl had been a loyal E-mu modular system owner for a long time before that. On the other hand, Stevie at the time had a slightly larger name-recognition value, so I guess it got a little political. Apologies to Daryl on that one.'"

And just fyi, Daryl has a neurological disorder and is 71 so he both needs and has healthcare. My guess is that the divorce will be splitting up a few million bucks between them.

[reddread]

21. god fu*k my brain for good

damn my eyes.
thanks for changing my story.
damn it. that sucker would look pretty sweet next to my Kool and the Gang OBX.
*KICK*

[tridim]

39. I spent countless hours at the music store drooling over the Emulator

There was zero chance that I could ever afford to buy it. So, thank you music store employees for letting me play.

Of course I never looked back when computers eventually replaced dedicated samplers.

I also wanted a Jupiter 8, which IMO is the most fun and coolest looking analog synth ever.

[reddread]

45. Jupiter's Mother

Pretty sure they were influenced by the ARP Quadra there.
I almost grabbed a broken Quadra 20 years ago. Missed it by that much.
Never got too close to any Jupiter 8's.
Leaned heavily towards American synths back when, give or take a CS-80
and some Roland GR goods.
Thanks for the quality porn!

[tridim]

47. I just researched Jupiter 8's again...

Because honestly I still want one.

Apparently Roland only made 2000 and the surviving synths are currently selling for around $10,000. Ugh. I still can't buy one!

[reddread]

59. they do have a rep

2000 really isnt so scarce, depending on attrition, its that demand issue.
Isnt there a rack mount version?
I have only seen J8's for sale a few times really, but seems like the rack mount versions (if there was one)
were put up for sale more often.
I would lean towards a 4 myself.
But only if it were good and cheap in comparison to any older Obie.
The new Two Voice will be the neatest thing on the planet.
I hope I dont miss the boat on that future classic.

[BarbaRosa]

64. Drooling in a music store,

ah yes, done that.

[tridim]

65. I have to limit my trips to Guitar Center to once per month.

I especially avoid the high-end acoustic guitar section.

That store is evil, and not just because of Bain Capital.

[nomorenomore08]

67. Don't play an instrument myself, but that's exactly how I feel about CD/record shopping...

I've been known to spend virtually every spare penny, at times, on used vinyl.

[TransitJohn]

12. Who?

[MrScorpio]

14. Just curious

How old are you?

[TransitJohn]

15. Forty two. How old are you?

n/t

[MrScorpio]

16. Fifty-Two

Thanks!

[TransitJohn]

17. So, who is Captain and Tenille?

[TBF]

19. You can thank me later -

or put me on "ignore" (which is probably what I would do if someone would subject me to this "music"!!)

Anyway, here they are in all their glory --

[reddread]

23. its just not the same if you havent heard it over a million times in a year or two

Tunes like
Evergreen
You Light Up My Life

[Nanjing to Seoul]

[ChisolmTrailDem]

42. No, they were superstars with numerous chart-topping songs and albums. nt

[tblue37]

63. AND a TV show! nt

[ChisolmTrailDem]

70. Oh yea, how could I forget since I don't think I missed a single one, lol! nt

[Fawke Em]

25. I'm 44 and know nearly all the Captain and Tenille's songs.

Your parents must not have listened to rock/pop.

[hfojvt]

48. I'm 52

I was listening to them myself.

But a decade makes a difference I guess.

[TransitJohn]

71. All they listened to was rock.

I've still got the vinyl. Don't know who this group is.

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. I guess they won't be doin' each other one more time... n/t

[Lochloosa]

26. Boooooooooo!!!

Oops, sorry, wrong group.

[Phentex]

30. If so I can't imagine why.

[tXr]

58. Whatever!

I will, I will, I will...

[cherokeeprogressive]

35. Probably not... but I know the way to San Jose! n/t

[Jim Lane]

38. I shot a threadjacker in Reno, just to watch him die. (n/t)

[PotatoChip]

24. Wow, those names are blast from the past! (nt)

[infoviro]

27. The guy had been impersonating an officer for some time now.

And she just now figures this out???

[Phentex]

31. For some reason, I thought they were already divorced...

must have my singing duo confused.

[deutsey]

32. Not even the Bionic Watermelon could keep them together?

PS: If you ever saw their old variety show in the '70s, you'll get this reference.

[catbyte]

34. This thread is hilarious--thanks for the early morning laughs!

[Rex]

36. Sign of the end of the world?

nt.

[lame54]

40. Maybe if he didn't insist on being called The Captain

[msanthrope]

49. Ok...seeing your post with your avatar on a smartphone really, really

took me in a different direction!!

[oldhippie]

44. Oh, no .......

Flashbacks to the 70's!

[cthulu2016]

46. 1) They're alive??? 2) They're still married??? Wow.

[treestar]

50. Count me in as amazed they are still married

They are in show business after all.

[Historic NY]

51. What no muskrat love!!!

[nyquil_man]
