growing up , who did you have a crush on?

[Gumbo4x4]

Hey, that was me in the 70's. My main crush was Paul Rodgers of Bad Company. I was able to see them in concert when I was 15. I was in the front row. Open seating (or standing as the case was then, no seats, everyone had to stand). The only problem was to be in the front row I had to stand off to the left side of the stage right in front of this really huge speaker. After the show I couldn't hear until the next day and my ears were still ringing days later. I wouldn't have traded that spot for anything, ha-ha.

My favorite singer by far! Though, not a crush

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

John Ritter, I just loved "Jack Tripper"

 

[katie01]

Michael J. Fox
Patrick Swayze

Shaun Cassidy. So I grew up and married one. Spells his name Sean, but got the Cassidy part right.

 

[JPPT1974]

As a kid I used to be in love with game show hosts. Of the 1970's and 1980's.

 

[Cadiewampus]

Fun thread!

My first crush was Donny Osmond .... then Shaun Cassidy (my childhood best friend & I still 'fight' over who he should be with) .... then Scott Baio.

I keep going back to Tom Selleck. He still looks good for being 70 now.

[CPanther95]

Earliest ones were probably Irlene Mandrell, Goldie Hawn and Marie Osmond.

Strange thing is they are all older than I was, but as I got older, my crushes got younger.

 

[Kenny1113]

The guys from the "Brat Pack"... Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson. And Most of the Outsiders... C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, etc.

I agree! Lots of eye candy in the outsiders!!

Loved Christian slater, Donnie from nktob, Luke perry,Matt Dillion, chad allen, Michael j fox,

I was in love with Kirk Cameron and now I find him to be a disgusting human being, so I shudder whenever I think of kissing that wall poster....
