l still believe Lady Gaga has all the good amswers. I'm goIng to the shop for my once- in a- year haircut, and I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone..I'm totally rockin' the mullet right now, for Cliff Burton( original bass player for Metallica, RIP, my friend). , gave me the idea. He was so cool! I'm thinking autonomy, as usual. Ignore the media, and keep your mind and body in health. Love to you All!!

Actually, Cliff was the second bassist for Metallica. Ron McGovney was the first.

Definitely not hated!! I, for one, look forward to your posts. Prince is the bomb! I'd have to say Dylan was always my favorite back when he was younger. I haven't listened to his stuff in a while ( at least not on purpose) but I enjoy him whenever I do.

Insomniac? Nah, not me. I get 4, sometimes 5 hours of sleep every day! (an hour here, . . .hour there, . . 30 minutes . . .)

And hated? You aren't hated! As one former poster might have put it,"Somebody needs to keep the 'biosolids' stirred!" Most of us look forward to your every post!

No teen idol worship, here. I was totally oblivious to popular culture until an embarrassingly recent date.

Rick Nelson...he had a great family, amazing talent, a gorgeous wife. I'd have traded places with him with no hesitation. Eventually he had problems, like we all do, but for the most part, his life was good. His children have turned out pretty well, too.

I love his early music and voice. I think in some ways he's become a parody of himself. He sounds more like someone doing a Dylan impression than he sounds like the Bob Dylan I knew and loved. He released his 47th album last year. 47! I don't have time or interest in listening to that many albums by anyone. I have enough of his early stuff to be satisfied. I saw Bob and Tom Petty together at Sandstone back in the 80s. Good show, but I haven't really paid attention to either since then.
grammaddy 4 years, 8 months ago
Oooh Autie! Have you read "Run, Abby, Run". I loved the way he hid in plain sight. Good book. I've got a copy if you are interested.

Two hot babes. 1) Sally on the Dick Van Dyke show and 2) Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched. Hot, ho, hot!
bearded_gnome 4 years, 8 months ago
gladys kravitz???? Sally?
I think your babe-o-meter needs recalibration.
obviously I'm too old for the recent Doc Savage stuff post 2000!
for me, it was cheap paperbacks in the 1970's. his oath:
"Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it. Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice. Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage. Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do. Let me do right to all, and wrong no man."
maybe Roe posts in his sleep? talent there.

I'm surprised this one has been mentioned yet. My teen idol was Donny Osmond.
2nd place would be Bobby Sherman
3rd place would be David or Shawn Cassidy.

Wasn't into the teen idol thing during my teen years...just never leaned towards "idolizing" anyone or anything. I still don't.
But as a kid...8-11ish... I wanted to be or live like...Honey West & Emma Peel in The Avengers (tv series). I loved seeing strong, independent women...who didn't conform to the norm...in clothing that didn't restrict movement...who could, shall I say, kick butt.

When I was a young kid I idolized Wonder Woman. I had WW underoos and I would run around the house deflecting imaginary bullets with my aluminum foil wrist bracelets. Then when I was a young teen I thought for awhile that I would grow up to form the next A Team. Once I hit 15, I stopped idolizing everything and everyone and dove into depressing literature and black clothes. I stayed there for about 6 years and then once I grew up I realized idolizing others was more like idealizing others and its a huge waste of time.

I always wanted to be like Jody Sweeney the middle daughter from Full House..... then I find out that years later she's a recovering Meth addict and think, maybe being me isn't so bad after all.
