In reply to the discussion: CONFESS!!! Who was your childhood crush [View all]pink-o
(4,056 posts)But who didn't have a crush on him after "Hard Day's Night"? And like any real rock connoissuer, I grew up and realized Lennon was the superior one anyway.
Aside from that, when I was 15 I just went bananas for Creedence Clearwater Revival and plastered my room with pix of John Fogerty. I was seriously obsessed, to the point where I would scour Berkeley for him every weekend. Of course, I never found him, life went on, and I stopped giving him much thought.
But wouldn't you know it--I was working and the USAirways ticket counter in 1990, and Fogerty shows up in my line! He looked exactly the same as when I was in love with him, so 20 years after the fact I regressed right back into that 15 yr old lovestruck girl. I never let on that I knew who he was, just gave him his seat and managed to stay professional.
But inside I was screaming like a teenybopper!!!
