BREAKING NEWS: elite prep rb TONEIL CARTER commits to TEXAS! wow!

Whatever.

 

Do that to me one more time, Baby

 

As a prank I gave an older friend a Captain and Tennille 8 Track for his 50th birthday. Had to go to Goodwill for that one. Not so funny ... now that I'm past 50.

 

Actually, Muskrat Love was written by Willis Alan Ramsey, on his first album (inside joke, IIRC his ONLY album, produced by the recently late rock/blues/country legend Leon Russell in his Shelter Records studio -- Russell helps out on the album playing "wall" --- his hands slapping it --- on Northeast Texas Women).

Ramsey's original version is cool, but the rest of his album is even better, and is regularly hailed by giants in the industry as one of those too often overlooked.

 

when i took History of Rock, i don't think Captain & Tennille was in the curriculum.

 

I was absolutely traumatized a few years ago when I learned The Captain & Toni Tennille divorced!

Perhaps she got tired of touching a man the way she touched the Captain

 

I recall reading something about it at the time, article suggested divorce may have been a legal move because of Daryl Dragon's (Captain) progressive illness and relation to future financial implications.

I, not particularly being a Captain and Toneille fan, didn't pursue the truth.

BTW, for those unitiated, you might check out Ramsey's Wiki entry. Yeah the fusion of red necks and hippies on apartment construction sites in Austin in the early 1970s led to Armadillo World Headquarters, Soap Creek Saloon, and a host of other venues, gigged by Willy, Jerry Jeff, Kinky, and then the new wave Skunks, Explosives, Joe King Carrasco, there were scores of lesser names that were critical in the seminal times which have led to ACL and SXSW.

Willis Alan Ramsey was one of those. And yeah, he wrote Muskrat Candlelight (now Love).

 

I gotta admit I thought this woman was seriously hot. Of course, I once thought avocado green the ideal refrigerator color.

 

Kinda like Karen Carpenter with an appetite.

I'm goin to hell for that one.

 

Are you saying we just recruited a 1970's female pop star to play running back at the University of Texas? Not too sure about that one.

For starters, there’s his unique first name. The phonetics are just like the later in the “Captain and Tennille” music group that caught fire 40 years ago.

“Why does everybody say that?” he told DawgNation earlier this year. “I get that all the time.”

Back on his first day at Langham Creek High School, a trainer missed that distinction. He referred to him as “Toenail” Carter.

“I was like that was the funniest moment,” Carter said. “Wow. It happens. I understand it. I’ve been going through it all my life so it doesn’t bother me one bit. I’ve been through worse things than somebody calling me ‘toenail’ or thinking I was named after a singer.”

He’d like to see college football fans one day think of more than their Grandmother’s playlist when they hear his first name.

 

I was a Harvest Gold man myself. Goes nice with the shag carpet and paneling in the den.
