Eddie Hodges New Orleans b/w Hard Times for Young Lovers 45 (Aurora, 1965) From the 1950s on, seems like one of the "natural" trajectories of the child actor is from the movie/TV set to the music stage. From Sean Cassidy to Leif Garrett to Britney Spears to Annette Funicello and so it swirls downward. How many of these kid actor's were successful in their musical transition? And by successful,...

And with New Kids on the Block playing Nikon at Jones Beach Theater on Friday, what better time to look at some other former (and current) teen idols coming to the Island this season. Here are a few:

Time to cue that old 80s chestnut from hair metal band Europe (or perhaps you prefer the faithful remake by Leif Garrett... yes, Leif Garrett) as we dive into the final weekend of conjecture, rumor mongering and dreaming of the...

Something a little bit different folks, in the guise of pop with former bad boy turned good "Leif Garrett". This is his self-titled album from 1977, that charted to position 37 in the US, and surprisingly his albums are very rare, therefore making this another FIRST post. There are a few catchy covers and may interest other rock chicks who had his posters plastered over their bedroom walls,...

The future is now, and everyone is a mixed martial artist for fifteen minutes. It may get in the way of semiotic deconstructions of Leif Garrett, Billy Jack, Family Ties and/or Obama's incipient Marxism, but greatness has its risks. Not sure whether cock-punching and dick-slapping is Tae Kwon Do or Jeet Kune Do, but I guess I'll figure it out as I go along. At any rate, yeah, I would set up a dojo...

Back when I was around 13 I had a big crush on Leif Garrett and a few other guys who used to adorn the covers of Tiger Beat -- usually having left their shirt somewhere. Donny Osmond was another regular and while I didn't mind looking at him, he didn't give me that special oompf. Once I was home from school, a little sick, but not sick enough to keep me in bed and away from the magazine rack at the...
