Man, I was a victim of the '70s, when Tiger Beat and the like had poster children like Leif Garett, Scott Baio, and whoever the pimps thought they could create a legend out of in the age of bubblegum and disco.  Of all of those, who I didn't take really seriously, and I'll regret confessing this, is Andy Gibb had a good song or two (can you believe Joe Walsh played on some of his songs?).  Otherwise, I've got to go with the time honoured stuff:  Sinatra, Presley (not a huge fan but have a respect and curiousity about), and most of all, the Fabs.

I always liked Peter Sellers and felt like I could get along with him. I have now identified it as the melodramatic queen in me. I think we all have that sort of sense in us, in a way.

He was brilliant.  Loved the 'Pink Panther' movies, but most of all, 'Being There' as Chauncey Gardener, which was a great rip on our beloved (and mentally ill, inept) Ronald Reagan.

Not to belabor the point, but I used to like "I Just Want to be Your Everything"--cool guitar from Joe Walsh, good hook in there. A 'guilty pleasure' I guess.

Peter was never an idol of mine, I was just replying to the "Whoever" post.  In my wildest, I can't consider him a teen idol, though I can picture some satirical cover of Teen Beat with him and the Pink Panther (sexy pix and fax).  Win a date with Pete... Isn't there a Beatle tie-in with Peter Sellers?  'Songs for Swinging Sellers' produced by George Martin?  Something like that.  And of course, the Ringo connection/White Album demos.  Everyone will always be the next Beatles--the Commodores were the Black Beatles, Menudo, New Kids---all a bunch of bull.  But it's the standard, I reckon.

Teen Idols...wow...I don't think I had any teen idols as a kid. My sister and cousin (we always spent tons of time together)did. It was the 90's, so it was people like Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and groups like Hanson. Never liked either, but they did(but they will never admit it now) I pretty much always stuck to The Beatles, never had a teen idol really.

Leif Garrett, , I just picture him as Bob in the outsiders!

The Partridge Family (esp Susan Dey), The Monkees (esp Pete). I always found David Essex disturbingly cool.

Weren't the 'Peter Sellers Tapes' from those that Ringo gave him during the White Album sessions?  I thought so, but I'll have to check.  Got the bootleg somewhere around here.
