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!
infinite monkey • Dec 10, 2012 10:39 am
I didn't know those two either.
glatt • Dec 10, 2012 11:07 am
Me neither. And Johnny Winter. Knew the rest though, and some of them didn't make it!
footfootfoot • Dec 10, 2012 12:07 pm
WHAT?
John Mayall and the Blues Breakers?

Johhny Winter?

Are you kidding?

Alvin Lee Ten Years After?

what this is I don't
bluecuracao • Dec 10, 2012 12:27 pm
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...
Trilby • Dec 11, 2012 7:35 am
lol @ CG.
infinite monkey • Dec 11, 2012 8:17 am
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.)
Trilby • Dec 11, 2012 8:37 am
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.
infinite monkey • Dec 11, 2012 8:45 am
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.
Trilby • Dec 11, 2012 8:58 am
We totally RAWK!
xoxoxoBruce • Dec 11, 2012 10:56 am
I wanted to do Stevie Nicks, maybe we could work something out.
You misspelled squawk. :p:

Now I have a crush on YOU
infinite monkey • Dec 12, 2012 12:25 pm
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.
Trilby • Dec 12, 2012 12:29 pm
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.
infinite monkey • Dec 12, 2012 12:32 pm
And shoulder length, not a half an inch long! ;)

I never was all that thrilled on that one.

Hey woman-I happen to think JLC is hawt. She's got bone structure, you know what bone structure is, don't you?
infinite monkey • Dec 14, 2012 8:12 am
Addie Pray has bone structure! Great reference, Tril. One of my all-time faves.

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. :)
