His name was Shaun Cassidy.
He was a "Tiger Beat" heart throb, who was also a pretty good singer. I listened to all his albums, and dreamily gazed into his eyes on the covers.
And, I wondered what it would be like to kiss him on the lips.
In 1977 in suburban Chicago, I didn't have words to express my feelings.
I didn't know what being gay meant or that there was even a word for it.
But, I did know that Shaun was something special.
He was the only reason I watched "The Hardy Boys" on TV. Well, Pamela Sue Martin as Nancy Drew was also pretty fierce.
This video clip is really pretty hot. Shaun's kinda beefy, and when he's sweaty and showing his armpit? OMG! It's almost porn.
I never met Shaun, and my crush is well over.
Although, his songs do still rotate in my iPod.

I was a bit older than you, but I too often wondered what it would be like to kiss his gorgeous lips. i wondered a lot of things about him, most of which would have to be censored. I collected his barefoot photographs from Tiger Beat and 16---magazines I had to purchase surreptitiously in the seventies, wbich was far more homophobic than even now. In my adolescence I could not figure out why it was anyone else's business that I wanted Shawn to be my boy friend. The pictures were later lost, but I have found most of them on the internet, and they are now on my present slideshow.
Thanks for posting about Shawn.
