QotD: First Celebrity Crush
Well.. that's two hours of my life I'll never get back. I was looking for some music to go with my picks. I only found one song but I've got DeWitte on that. If I find more, I'll add them later.Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
So..first celebrity crush.. I had three that I remember vividly.
First we have Leif Garrett..Surfing USA.. good times.
As you can see from these before and after pictures, he went from looking like a girl to looking like a homeless man. I don't think the 80's were good to him.
Next we have John Travolta from Welcome Back Kotter fame. When we were kids we didn't have TV control.. hell, I don't have TV control now. We watched whatever our parents watched and had to get up and turn the channel for them when we were told. Very old school.
And last but surely not least is Shaun Cassidy. I loved him with every inch of my prepubescent body. Anytime my dad made fun of him I cried.
And now, for your listening pleasure is Teen Dream.. I'm trying to get Da Doo Ron Ron and Do You believe In Magic, surely 70's classics if there ever were any.
Next we have a collection of pictures (of which 99% were on my walls) to That's Rock And Roll.

If you didn't get up to change the channel for Dad, we wouldn't have been good parents. You had to get exercise and we were just being helpful. Besides, how else would the channel get changed?
Leif Garrett - I remember him as a guest either on CHiPs or The Six Million Dollar Man. I think it was Chips, because he was so drunk that when the car wrecked, it didn't kill him. So I think that was more Chips.
And I thought John Travolta was the Boy in the Plastic Bubble... I need to check my facts. I don't look like any of these guys... you must have found solace in my Wisdom, Intelligence, and Constitution points.
Yup, getting up to change the channel for dear ol' Dad. Mom just watched whatever Dad wanted to watch. I hated it because I not only had to change the channel, but also wait for him to watch a little bit of each channel all the way around the dial then say, "Ok, go back to channel 13".
Now I need to go point my sister, Marlen, in your direction. She loved Shaun Cassidy. I vividly remember her dancing around our basement to "Da Doo Ron Ron" in her Shaun Cassidy nightshirt.
Kids as remote controls, yes I remember being that. we only had 3 channels though. I always remember trying to find Gunsmoke for my father. I heard that the co-inventor of the remote contol recently died.. in his 90s I think.
My sister liked David Cassidy....When he sang "I think I love you" I know he wasn't singing about her.
