Just A Thought

3/06/2008 1:53 AM ET | Filed under: Patrick Swayze

Ya, it's a bit sappy, but….

We just downloaded Patrick Swayze's She's Like The Wind on iTunes and we've been playing it on repeat.

If we all buy the song and we make it go to the Top 10, it'd be a nice gesture to the ailing Dirty Dancing star.

CLICK HERE to purchase She's Like The Wind on iTunes today!

He smoked 4 packs a smokes a day! he deserves to die in your arms you fat pig. now smoke a ham and bend over and take the loads of cum that u love to have up yerbunghole. let patrick eat your hole and then spit in yer asshole and plow you with a garden hoe while u scream out whitney's name as u bleed your filthy cunt all over the bed sheets think of small kids in china who are dumb as fuck and muslims that stink.

I know someone who has had pancreatic cancer for almost 2 years. He is still going. Let's not bury Patrick yet!
SarahKaine says – reply to this

39

..I am TRULY heartbroken to hear of this. I ADORE Patrick Swayze… In fact I used to have a dog named Swayze, and a cat named "Orry", after his character in North and South. AND!!! We share a birthday.

… I hope and pray that he has amazing doctors and the Cadillac of chemos.

All my love and prayers to handsome, sweet Patrick.

(And yeah, I listen to "She's Like the Wind" all the time, anyway. But go buy it~~ That's a great idea Perez. Props to you for not bein' a TOTAL shithead today.)

He is just on a power trip and wants to see how many people he can convince to do it. This is Perez we're talking about — he only pretends to care about people.

Like earlier when he was on the trip about celebs saying things their kids might read later when in the next week he'll call some kid ugly.

If this is a psychological experiment, please let me know the outcome. I'd love to know how much power you have over your "consumers" . . . how your word alone will sell She's Like the Wind. . .

67

just to clarify, (in #62) I replied to #13 comment made by SLUT .. I love what Perez is doing…I own the whole Dirty Dancng Soundtrack and still bought the song…hope more people will join.
Kim says – reply to this

68

Whatever the reason for Perez posting the link, the end result could be the song makes the top 10 - that's a really nice gesture - and Patrick Swayze gets the royalties from the gesture. Also great! Would anyone in his family cry foul at the income from the royalties, I mean really? Or would they - and Patrick - be touched by the gesture?

Some of you are sad, bickering over the motivations - just stop being a cheap whiny bitcher and spend 99 cents (you can't even get something on the value meal at McDonald's for that!) and be nice for once today/this week/month/year/whatever.

# 13, 14, and 27… your fucking sick.. ya we don't him personally but its still a sad issue. Gosh i really hate people like you.. maybe you should be the ones to go through cancer and possibly die… just a thought. have a freakin heart and lighten up. I hope he makes it…. anyone who goes through cancer is just amazing… so strong and optomistic… we need more people like that in the world!

I know at least five people who died of pancreatic cancer. The symptoms don't show up for about 4 or 5 years and then it's too late. Our best friend died of it and he was a health nut and a runner. He always ate fat free food and watched what he ate. The symptoms are an upset stomach which could be anything. Supposedly only 1% survive.

If you ever had a loved one die from that type of cancer…You will send prayers/good vibes to him and his family…It is a nice gesture, Perez, I am in….It will be interesting to see if we can make it go to the Itunes top 10 singles…It's only a buck…Small gesture for someone who gave us lots of smiles back in the day…

This is all so sad. I was first introduced to him when he starred in the TV miniseries North and South. About the Civil War. My girlfriend broke up with me in high school for watching it instead of obsessing over her. I sadly kinda used her to make me look normal for "appearances"…like I could bang a girl. you straight people don't know what it's like. you bash your host on this site and if you're trying to hurt him…you're succeeding. You'll never hear it from him! But trust me it hurts. Just a thought. Life is unpredictable. It's a new year…we're gonna have a new administration…is it possible we could all try to be nice this year?

I bought it 3 times, and would like to say that I received a signed copy of his picture from when his movie came out. Of course i got it when I sent a fan letter in to him and a standard issue letter from "him" with the autograph more like a stamp of his autograph. My friend Cara got hers around the same time and we compared. This post should be bumped up.

Re: slut – You absolutely are the stupidest and most vile person ever!! Why don't you get a life instead of posting your hateful crap-filled garbage? What's the matter…..Mommy not pay enough attention to you as a child??? Potty training not go well for you??? It's obvious you didn't grow up normally, dear. Get some counseling before you start listening to those voices in that blackness filled head of yours.
