maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted April 19, 2019 So, Don - American Pie - McLean If the publicity is to be believed Paris Dylan - below - who appears unable to see a camera without striking some pose that suggests sexual activity, is utterly besotted with the 73 year old myopic chubster with a record of alcohol problems and domestic abuse. The keen-eyed who can raise their gaze below the lower gun might spot she isn't wearing a McLean t-shirt in this shot. It's either a case of two mediocre careers spinning an improbable love story for profile- raising purposes or Don's one of of ours because Viagara and a history of alcohol problems can be a toxic collision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was one of two I was debating for Joker in February when I discovered Mario Vigil not 30 minutes before turning in my list. (Tried to attach video for 'My Bonny' by Laura Smith -- says Youtube problem -- great we are back to that again?) FTR I never heard of or listened to Laura Smith until 5 weeks ago. She's pretty good. Was. Goes to show.... you feel fine, have a pain or cough and told you have a couple months to live. Could happen to any of us. Life is fragile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
