Who was the celebrity person that got your blood pumping when you were young?
Mine was Simon le Bon from Duran Duran...
1982... Anytime they came on the radio or on tv the heat would rise in me!
I saw them recently on a sky interview and he still has it.
So do tell.. Who got yah...
I always preferred John Taylor, being older now I'd not like any of them, they always seem to come across as arrogant divas. Huge turn off...... Now if I could have him for a night and not let him talk - that's a different story! My first MASSIVE crush would be Matt Goss (Bros.) . My older cousins were mean and said cus I was the youngest I was only allowed have Craig. :sad:
This is an interesting one.
Coming from Art college it was all Talking Heads, Patti Smith, the Pixies and the like, none of your squeekie clean pop shite here I'll have you know. We were art rockers. Debbie Harry certainly got me excited but there is a saying that you should never meet your idols, you'll only be disappointed - how true is that. I met her in Jurys hotel for some work I was doing - words cannot describe how disappointing that was.
On a brighter side, I met the lovely Joan Armatrading, I had always been a quiet fan (I guess I've always had a feminine side). Not only was she stunning, funny, engaging we had a great time - shes a huge fan of the Beano comic!!! It was brilliant.
And finally; Dublin, Christmas 1983 - Blooms hotel. I met my all time rock hero (still is to this day) Rory Gallagher. He was terrific - could I get a sensible word out of my mouth? could I be in the least bit coherent? could I even look him in the eye? - I was a dribbling sap!!!
I still have the guitar pick he gave me thought.
Now check this out with the volume up loud ... FH
Linda Carter aka Wonder Woman .....
I was about 11.... ah the memories ...
In the 80's it was Kylie and I so still would, and have been lucky enough to actually meet her twice and she is even better in the flesh than she is on the telly..
But Linda Carter ... i just cant my finger on why :thumbup:
The earliest I can remember is Morten Harket from A-Ha think it was my total love of the Take On Me video
