I am a Kenny Rogers fan. The Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits album with The Gambler, Lady, Coward of the County, and other great songs that tell a story was a formative album in my teenage years. And I later discovered more obscure Kenny in the form of Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) from the Big Lebowski soundtrack, which he recorded in 1968 with First Edition.
All of that said, I don’t think I’d recognize him now if I passed him on the street. I’m dismayed to add him to the growing list of people that have modified their appearance beyond recognition.
At least he doesn’t have collagen in his lips. I don’t think. What a terrible trend.
Kel - Hi Dan. I’m Kel. I work with Shan, and love your cats. I also love my own (four) cats. I just love cats. And all the other things on cuteoverload.com, which your wife now has me hooked on. Like I need another web addiction. Thanks very much.
Anyway–uh, are you sure that’s Kenny? Seriously, when I saw this pic, I assumed this was some “tribute” performer. I’m no kind of a fan of the Kenster, but I do think it’s a shame–and very, very scary–if this is really him.
dan - Hi Kel,
It’s true. I don’t want it to be true. But it is. Here’s his official site.
Sad Dan
Kel - Sigh . . . .
