90-Year-Old 50s Heartthrob Pat Boone Rocks Yellow Nikes on Town Trip

Pat Boone, fresh into his 90s, remains as vibrant and stylish as ever. The veteran singer recently made a visit to Beverly Hills sporting an eye-catching pair of bright yellow Nike sneakers that perfectly accentuated his otherwise casual ensemble.

During this outing, Boone, the heartthrob of the 1950s, was seen wearing an aqua button-down shirt with dark blue buttons over a dark undershirt, complemented by a pair of loose-fitting gray pants. His ensemble was adorned with a gold necklace and bracelet, adding a touch of elegance to his casual look. Photographers captured Boone exiting his black Rolls Royce with a cheerful demeanor and a bright smile lighting up his face.

Boone, who once rivaled Elvis Presley in the early days of rock ‘n’ roll, is widely recognized for classic hits like “Love Letters in the Sand.” The singer continues to stay connected with his fans through his weekly show on SiriusXM’s ’50s Gold, where he plays timeless tracks and shares stories from his illustrious 68-year career in the entertainment industry.

Recently, Boone has been in the spotlight with the release of his politically charged single, “Where Did America Go?”. He describes this track as a conservative counterpart to Bob Dylan’s iconic “Blowin’ in the Wind.” The song, featuring classic American sounds with guitar strums and an old country vibe, has lyrics that address Boone’s concerns about the current state of the nation.

In a heartfelt message to his fans on Facebook, Boone expressed his deep worries about the country’s division. He questioned, “Are you as seriously concerned about our country as I am?” He emphasized that America cannot continue down its current path and shared that the song was born out of a need to do something, inspired by his contemporaries like Bob Dylan during similar periods of confusion.

The song’s poignant lyrics include lines like, “Where did America go / The land of the brave and the free / Can one generation erase a great nation? / ‘Cause we can’t find a way to agree.”

Boone hasn’t just stopped at expressing concern through his music. He has also publicly supported other artists facing backlash for their political stances. Last year, Boone defended Jason Aldean amid controversies surrounding Aldean’s “Small Town” music video, which juxtaposed clips of BLM protesters with lyrics promoting traditional values. Boone urged Aldean to stand firm against critics, labeling the backlash as “sick.”

During an interview with Fox News, Boone expressed disbelief over the criticism, particularly within the country music community. He reflected on country artists like Trace Adkins, known for their patriotic songs, and highlighted the inappropriateness of vilifying artists taking a stand for their beliefs. He mentioned, “It’s just moral sickness, I can’t believe anybody is criticizing Jason.”

Adding a personal touch, Boone shared a piece of family history by displaying a Colt-44 given to him by his grandfather Pritchard. He emphasized this weapon as a symbol of the type of defense families historically relied upon, making a broader point about the right to self-defense.

Despite his advanced age, Boone remains active and involved. On August 20, he attended the premiere of the movie “Reagan” at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, and on July 15, he participated in a book signing event for “Elvis, Rocky and Me” by Carol Connors.

Pat Boone’s enduring presence and vocal advocacy highlight his commitment not only to his music but also to the principles he holds dear, proving that age is no barrier to making an impact.
