It’s been a rough week for Baby Boomers: First the Professor from “Gilligan’s Island,” actor Russell Johnson, died at the age of 89. And now the Captain and Tennille have called it quits after 39 years of marriage.
Toni Tennille, 73, filed for divorce from Daryl Dragon, 71, in Prescott, Ariz. on Jan. 16. The Grammy Award-winning duo was known for a string of catchy (and sometimes-annoying) 1970s hits like “Love Will Keep Us Together,” “Muskrat Love” and “Do That to Me One More Time” and even hosted their own television variety show for a season.

I could see the conversation now...
Captain: You better stop, 'cause I really love you
Stop, I've been thinkin' of you
Look in my heart
And let love keep us together
Tennille: Yeah, whatever
On the serious side, it is kind of sad, after 39 years and also the mention of health related issues.
