Thanks Cindy!

One of the great "tragedies" of my childhood was when the Hartford Civic Center roof collapsed--I didn't care if anyone could have been hurt, my only concern was the fate of my Shaun Cassidy concert tickets! He played in New Haven instead. At the concert, one of my friends felt so stupid just sitting there when everyone else was going crazy, that she stood up and started screaming for no reason.

Oh, I loved Andy Gibb and Shaun Cassidy, too. And David Cassidy. And Peter Frampton after I saw Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band five times.

I was quite the preteen slut.

I actually wish I still had some of those Tiger Beats. That would make an awesome afternoon of nostalgia.

Trudy, I can't believe you saw Mark Hamill and then kissed Leif Garrett. You should totally get a T-shirt with iron-on letters that says so.

OMG Shaun Cassidy was so pretty in the "Hey, Deenie" video. I mean, I remember him from the day, but I don't think I had the concpet of pretty boys down. Little more growed up in the other one.

I've had a weird, retroactive crush on Andy Gibb for years. (ETA: See, I'm watching the "Words" video, and he's just so... swear to god, he means every single word. And it's possible he's (er, was) singing directly. to. me.)

Clearly I need Trudy to teach me how to go out. I NEVER have that much fun on my birthday.

Trudy should make a tv show... how about "The Behinds of the Music"! Or, "I Macked On The Seventies"!

To date myself, I crushed on Joey from NKOTB. ::hangs head in shame::

I crushed on Donnie and Marky Mark. The tradition of liking the "bad boys" is deep within me. Not that they were all that tough, but....

Um, more than fans of Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett? I think not.

Shaun Cassidy, Hey Deenie:

SQUEE!!!! I was transported back to the late 70s there for a minute. Now all we need is some Hardy Boys eps...

Somehow, I ended up with a crush on Parker Stevenson, not Shaun Cassidy, from the Hardy Boys. That might have been a subconscious decision to preserve my friendship with my BFF.

Um, more than fans of Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett? I think not.

Oh, I meant dating me as in "much younger than everyone who's chimed in so far."

Cassidy's hot though.

I also liked the one that had him in his tennis whites. He was so pretty!
