Ha ha leela, I was about 11/12 at the time and he was a pretty good male role model for a lad. Compare and contrast with Pete Doherty.

GEEMAC, darn tootin'! You couldn't be more right: I despair at today's 'role models', and as someone who works with young people, I am all too aware of the detrimental effects of these people's lifestyles on others.

[GEEMAC]

leela, Amy Winehouse, Heroine of the year any thoughts? : )

[leelapops]

Surely they meant heroin-user of the year GEEMAC?

What a sad state of affairs. Who the hell deemed her worthy of that title? What has she done, other than taking drugs and croaking her way through bad music? What an insult to genuine heroines.

Does that tell you what I think!? Sorry, bit vitriolic. WHat re your thoughts on this? x

[GEEMAC]

Not a million miles from yours leela

[leelapops]

Good, GEEMAC! We should talk...we would put the world to rights, wouldn't we :D

[GEEMAC]

Ha ha, you're not wrong leela, I'll get the drinks in. What are you having? : )

[unrulyjulie]

David Essex, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Jillius]

Oh god, no ! I think they looked right geeks with their long hair and skin tight trousers. I wish I was only in my teens now cos there are some gorgeous looking lads around.

[Jillius]

.............though of course I loved Les McKeown

[pink-kittens]

But you're all talking, mostly, about famous/well known people.

Your general man about town during the 70's looked awful with their Kevin Keegan hairstyles and flares matched, or rather mis matched with kipper ties.

Blue lam� was not my thang lol

[leelapops]

GEEMAC I would love a fresh orange juice please (out last night, so taking it easy: see, I am sooo rock 'n' roll!!) Let's get talking!!
julie, really?!
Jillius...can't beat a bit of skintight...well, that said, I wouldn't go all-out Lycra!
pink-kittens, I guess it wasn't "glam" rock for nothing :S But yes, much like today, some have it and some don't! Although I don't much admire mny 'celebs' at the moment (see GEEMAC and I discussing this above!)

[leelapops]
