Two Thoughts - Two Disappointing Heartthrobs

Ah man!  One of the celebrities I once had a crush on as a young girl in the 1970s turned up in the news recently in an-oh-such-a-disappointing way.  Don't you just hate that?!  David "I Think I Love You" Cassidy of The Partridge Family fame got arrested for DUI in St. Lucie, Florida last week.  And to think that he's already 60 years old!  I mean how disappointing is that?  You look up to someone all these years and they do something stupid like that...

And if we go back to last month, we'll see that another celebrity I once dreamed about constantly plead no contest to heroin drug possession - Leif Garret!  And my gosh, it's not even the first time he's been caught!  Shame, shame, shame!

Leif, honey, there's nothing that'll bring back those days when you were so idolized by screaming young women or young girls (like I once was).   But the only screaming women you're gonna see with what you're doing now are women screaming for you to stay as far away from them as possible!

Sigh! On a lighter note, news like that kinda makes me feel glad that my celebrity crush dreams never came true. LOL!!!

Two Thoughts on Tuesday...Time To Remember

My first thought this Tuesday is how cool it is to look back to 1987 when I was still living in Hawaii and a 17-year old young man named Glenn Medeiros won a local radio talent contest.  Glenn sang the George Benson hit "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" and it set the pace for Glenn to become the next national teen idol.

During a promotional tour for his first album, he made a stop at local shopping center in Hawaii.  My middle sister (Ophelia) and I stood in line to get his autograph on a record single (see pic at the very top of this post).  We got back in line later to take pictures and ask him to sign another autograph for us to bring home to our elementary school-aged sister (Veronica) who also adored him but didn't get to come along with us (because our Mom wouldn't let us take her).

My second thought wanders to what Glenn Medeiros might be doing these days.  You know how a lot of teen idols make a hit or two and then just end up leaving show business.  Well, it looks like Glenn Medeiros may not be recording anymore, but as of 2008, he has been hosting and entertaining at luaus at a Waikiki hotel.  He was also teaching at a local school during the day.  Well, at least he hasn't totally disappeared from the music scene!

Two Things You Didn't Know About Liggy

Did you know that I was just an elementary school girl with a huge crush on David Cassidy in the late 1970s when The Partridge Family reruns were still being aired? I didn't even know I was only watching reruns back then. All I knew is I still saw lots of David Cassidy pictures appearing on the cover of the supermarket tabloids and teen magazines. And he had the cutest, most adorable smile!


One of the things I really, really loved about that time was all the fun music you could sing along to (or drool to while watching David Cassidy close ups on TV - LOL!). In fact, I can easily remember the beat of the songs performed on the show. I think I might even be able to pass a quiz for matching the songs to the episodes if I can even come across such a quiz.

If you follow this blog and know I love hard rock and heavy metal, you might even find it surprising that I actually have a favorite song from The Partridge Family show. Can you guess what it is? It's the song "I Think I Love You." That song was number one on Billboard's Top Singles chart in 1970...and it was still a big radio favorite by the time I was in elementary school! Imagine that! Listen to the song in the player below.


I really love that song! You could probably say it's one of my favorites of all time. It's one of those songs that when it comes up on the radio or the track comes on from one of my old Billboard Hits CD collection, I have to stop and listen. Does anyone else ever get that way about an old song?

A trip back in time

I was browsing through some youtube videos and found a video that took me back to my preteen years. Hehe, who can remember those crazy pre-teen crushes we had on people like Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy, Scott Baio, or Leif Garrett?! Here's Leif performing that song I went ga-ga over as a 10 year old...



Hmmm...I wonder whatever happened to that cassette tape I used to own of the album this song came from?
