After being separated for 15 years, “The Song is Over” for Pete Townshend and Karen Astley.  They are getting a divorce.

The couple was married in 1968 and have three grown children. They separated in 1994 after Townshend admitted to having an affair.  Several world tours and a questionable kiddie-porn incident later,  Astley has tired of asking “Who Are You?” and has filed for divorce.

At the rockin’ age of 63, can we be sure that Pete “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and marry his latest girlfriend or will he break it off and see “Who’s Next?”   There is approximately $58,000,000 at stake, and when the proceedings are over you can be sure that one of the parties will not “call that a bargain, the best I ever had”.

So now all “Join Together” and tell us Who Gets The Coffin? We’ll send a WRC to the spouse with the most votes.

UPDATE:  The couple has reconciled and have put an end to their divorce proceedings.  Here’s to hoping that things work out for them.  But we’ll keep the Wedding Ring Coffin on ice just in case.

Oy vey! After months of speculation, Madonna “Esther” Ciccone and Guy Ritchie have decided to divorce.  Between Madonna’s 4 hour workouts, kabbalah services, and attempting to adopt another kid (as much as a mitzvah as it is), it was too much of a strain for their 7 1/2 year marriage.
