If love can't even keep them together, what hope is there for the rest of us?

[abcnews.go.com]

Boggles my mind that they are both in their seventies. Life sure is short, even when it's not short.

Hasn't he made Admiral by now? He needs a new line of work to keep the ladies...

GETTIN OLDER AINT FOR COWARDS

After awhile Muskrat Love is not enough I guess.

They looked so happy together too.

...Geeeeeez ya sure that ain't Mick Jones from the Clash????????

Hmmmmmm I guess so, I think the uniform threw me off.And is that Katy Perry with him?

Say it ain't so ... there's no Muskrat Love left for Captain & Tennille ... they're getting divorced ... and the Captain tells TMZ he didn't see it coming.

Toni (Tennille) filed legal docs in Arizona, claiming the marriage was "irretrievably broken." They've been married for 39 years.

If you don't know ... you should. They had a string of hits in the 70s, including "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Muskrat Love" and "Do that to Me One More Time."

They were discovered by Neil Sedaka at The SmokeHouse restaurant in Burbank, near NBC.

Daryl Dragon (The Captain) is 71. Yeah, it's Dragon.

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.

According to the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, there's special mention about health insurance coverage, and that seems relevant, because in 2009 Toni blogged that Daryl had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. In 2011 Toni updated the message, saying Daryl's tremors were so bad he was embarrassed to go out in public ... to restaurants, the movies, etc.

Here's what's unclear -- whether it's possible Toni really filed for health insurance reasons ... whether his coverage might be better if they were divorced.

The blog has an update on Jan 16, 2014, saying "The Captain & Tennille appeared to the public as them being the ideal model for a 'rock-solid' married pair. But almost all people naturally evolve over time, & sometimes hidden feelings start to be uncovered ..."

It's a sad day for muskrats.

He made better music with Dennis Wilson.

always had a crush for toni

strange song about muskrats..

Original version by the guy who wrote it. Pretty tune. Absurd lyrics.

The article says that she still wants to live in their house?

I will, I will, I will...

Time for a... KEY CHANGE...

I head their just doing it for insurance purposes. The captain is ill and has a lot of health costs.

thanks, tatters. good song.

Ive noticed before that the chord progression for Maddona's Material Girl sounds like Love Will Keep Us Together. that's not supposed to be a joke, it's something i've noticed. I believe Neil Sedaka wrote Love Will Keep us together.

At the end of Love will keep us together. Toni sings "Sedaka is back" at 3:09. Listen.

I remember that. 1975, Sedaka was having those string of hits....
This new is disheartening. Why now? What's the point?
Not even Muskrat Love can last.

If your name was as cool as Daryl Dragon, you'd think you would go by that.

....not when ya brother's called Puff !!!!!!!!!!!
