1 hour, 5 minutes ago

SYDNEY (AFP) - US police are reportedly investigating the mysterious disappearance of the long-time boyfriend of Australian performer Olivia Newton-John.

15. Not that it matters, but this is strictly an urban legend
Evidently ONJ was on a talk show many years ago when the host asked her if she had a boyfriend. She responded that she actually at the time had "more girlfriends than boyfriends". This rather innocuous response was then blown entirely out of proportion.

ONJ has had a long history of male live-ins/partners, and even has a child by her first SO, whom she met on the set of Xanadu.

5. I love that one of the assumptions is
'faked his own death' what kind of a world do we live in that this is the second assumption? ahead of suicide?

16. It's not "missing" when he's "run away"
It's just absent.

"Faked his death" is a good one. Why? Tired of all the attention surrounding his girlfriend? Doubtful.

All in all, I do hope he's okay.

19. Sounds like he probably just fell overboard...
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 03:48 PM by BikeWriter
It's too bad he had no one with him to report his absence.

26. don't be sad terry
A place where nobody dared to go, the love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu



And now, open your eyes and see, what we have made is real
We are in Xanadu

A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally

Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) in Xanadu

Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu



The love, the echoes of long ago, you needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu

The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears, it came to Xanadu



A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally


Now that I'm here, now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here, now that you're near in Xanadu, Xanadu

27. I don't know if I am sadder that Patrick is missing...
or that this is the way DUers react to it. I guess when it's a celebrity's boyfriend, it's not a person, anymore?

I have met Patrick a couple of times. He's a lovely person and I pray he's OK.
