Did they survive the 70s?
These people were approaching 30 in 1970! (Some were actually already 30 as shown on the ages on the cover.)
Would they survive the 70s?
That's awesome! I would love to read that issue.
Some of them have even survived into their 70s...
I had no idea who John Mayall or Alvin Lee was and had to google 'em. Still alive and touring!
I didn't know those two either.
Me neither. And Johnny Winter. Knew the rest though, and some of them didn't make it!
WHAT?
John Mayall and the Blues Breakers?
Johhny Winter?
Are you kidding?
Alvin Lee Ten Years After?
what this is I don't
Sorry foot3, never heard of the Blues Breakers! But I know Ten Years After...I'd Love to Change the World must be on every rock station's regular playlist.
Here is a fascinating slide show featuring some of those living rockers and a bunch of others, then and now.
Would have made a decent score in the Death Pool competition with that list.
god, Mick was hot in his day.
Always sort of scary ... but smart, very smart.
Hmm...
"These people are approaching 30"
"Elvis Presley - 35"
"Johnny Cash - 37"
"Grace Slick - 30"
"Jimi Hendrix - 28" - died when he was 27
That’s Some Mighty Fine Police Work There, Lou...
Yeah, as I noted in the OP...some of them were 30 or past.
You're right about Hendrix. He would have been 28 in November of 1970, if only he hadn't died and stuff in September
I don't think this mag was known so much for its crack reporting as it was for images of rock stars.
It was way harder to google in 1970. ;) People reading the mag probably had no idea nor cared about cold hard facts.
Now if you're going to tell me there were inconsistencies in Tiger Beat I will surely cry.
:)
(thas Jimmy McNichol up thar, on the right side, 2nd from bottom. I forgot about HIM and I loved him FOREVER!!!! Even though I looked like his sister.)
I worshiped at the Tiger Beat alter.
I even tricked my folks to taking us to Woody's (in West Carrollton, remember?) to eat Father's Day lunch because they had a HUGE selection of teen mags.
I first loved David Cassidy. A short fling with Tony DeFranco ('memah them? the DeFranco family?) and moved on to Willie Ames (Swiss Family Robinson!) then the Bay City Rollers; then, when a bit older, shame of shame: I thought Billy Idol was hawt.
But my true love, my longest lasting love was with Stevie Nicks. I wanted to BE her.
Oh a heartbeat
It's a love beat
And when we meet
It's a good sensation!
My friend had a crush on Tony DeFranco...I hadn't heard of them until her. Willie Aames, check. BCR, check. And add: Andy Gibb, Robby Benson (my best friend thought he was soooo ugly), and Scott Baio (not as much as the others, though.)
My older sis in law still loves David Cassidy. Her husband, my brother, still loves Stevie Nicks.
I wanted to do Stevie Nicks, maybe we could work something out.
You misspelled squawk. :p:
Even though I looked like his sister
Now I have a crush on YOU
There's a picture here somewhere. jim said I looked like Kristy when I posted it. I heard that when I was younger, a lot. Then it was Jamie Lee Curtis. An occasional Sandra Bullock.
Now I look like some dead old piece of junk.
No! It's Jamie Lee Curtis!! THAT's who you look like!
I've been trying all this time to figure out who you reminded me of....but your hair is dark; not silvery like hers.
And shoulder length, not a half an inch long! ;)
I never was all that thrilled on that one.
Now I look like some dead old piece of junk.
Aww sweetie, but you're OUR dead old piece of junk.:blush:

Bitch, but she's our bitch"
Aww sweetie, but you're OUR dead old piece of junk.:blush:
Well dang. That was right sweet! :)
Hey woman-I happen to think JLC is hawt. She's got bone structure, you know what bone structure is, don't you?
Addie Pray has bone structure! Great reference, Tril. One of my all-time faves.

I knew you'd get it :)
It kept running through my head yesterday, Madeline going on and on about bone structure. Man that's a great movie! Thanks for the smile. :)
