He had very curly hair like mine. I actually got to meet all the Monkees but Mike Nesmith in 2012 when I went to one of their reunion concerts in Detroit. My sister won a contest and I was her date for the meet and greet. Davy passed away a few months later. lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702597564760699067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-51991155082240455702018-05-03T17:40:54.669+10:002018-05-03T17:40:54.669+10:00Clare, I'm definitely showing my age when I co...Clare, I'm definitely showing my age when I confess that MIck Jagger was my first celebrity rock star crush. I thought he was incredibly sexy. Not handsome. Sexy! I have to admit that these days he doesn't have quite the same appeal! Your Ethan sounds like a very sexy hero.Kandy Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992773219169379298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-20307487679797632762018-05-03T17:38:57.736+10:002018-05-03T17:38:57.736+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kandy Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992773219169379298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-83501374207459843552018-05-03T11:13:23.858+10:002018-05-03T11:13:23.858+10:00Oh, yes! I like Davy Jones, as well, Helen, and Ha...Oh, yes! I like Davy Jones, as well, Helen, and Hanson are great, I have MmmBop on my frequently played list and their Christmas album gets airplay every year in our house, but my first rockstar crush was a-ha, the keyboard player, Magne Furuholmen, in particular. I think I have a subconscious thing for keyboardists, because I've taken a fancy to a few in other bands, thankfully my husband can play. Anyway, I'm not sure exactly why, or how, but I lost my heart the moment I saw, and heard, Morten, Mags, and Pal, and yes, I'm still in awe of them, and Magne still makes me weak at the knees. Back in 1985 I also fell in love with the creativity and magical realism of the comic book romance in their Take On Me video clip. I still think it's a cute concept. They were very much an inspiration for me. I wrote stories back then, and joked about marrying Mags, while my sister wanted to marry Morten. And, I wrote another cathartic short story about them in 2013, which I published. In my opinion, Magne is a creative genius, he produced the famous synth riff in Take On Me, and aside from being a talented muso, he's also a visual artist. I've followed a-ha's career since the moment I met them, and while they only ever performed in Australia once, I had the chance to see quite a few of their concerts when I lived in Europe, including an intimate open air performance, in the middle of nowhere, one summer. I'm fond of all the songs they produced, and I followed their career both as a group and their individual work, not something I've done for other bands, but I've also never fallen so hard for another rockstar. Congratulations on your release, I can't wait to read it :) <br />Jillian Joneshttp://www.jillianjones.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-32094863063738820462018-05-02T12:34:08.031+10:002018-05-02T12:34:08.031+10:00Love both of these choices!
