“That's why my generation thinks we need a constitutional amendment to protect the sanctity of marriage that guarantees that, in America, the only marriage to be recognized is the marriage between a man and a woman! In the house of God! There are so many things in America that have changed. That should never change. And you listen to me: If it does, you can kiss this country goodbye.”

John Hagee (1940) American pastor, theologian and saxophonist

Some will last
Some will be just now and then.

Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby.”
