‘Phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks’: O'Rourke apologizes for 1991 Broadway review

Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke is apologizing for once criticizing a Broadway musical with actresses “whose only qualifications seem to be their phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks.”

In 1991, the 19-year-old O’Rourke reviewed the Broadway musical “The Will Rogers Follies” for the Columbia Daily Spectator, the university’s student newspaper. Writing under the byline Robert O’Rourke, he panned the performance as “one of the most glaring examples of the sickening excesses and moral degradations of our culture.”

American Pie

The day the music died

I started singing

Bye bye Miss American Pie

Drove my chevy to the levy

But the levy was dry

And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

singing

This will be the day that I die

This will be the day that I die
