I saved my 12-year-old birthday money and a good chunk of my babysitting money just so I could go down to the Piggly Wiggly and purchase the monthly issue of Tiger Beat on the day it came out. I wanted to be the first one of my friends to have the most current double-page spread of David Cassidy photos up on my bedroom wall.
My husband rolled his eyes when I said I was going to the concert. (He has a lot of nerve, because I'm pretty sure he had the Knight Rider up on his wall, or something a la Starsky and Hutch.) I ignored his eye-rolling and launched into "I Think I Love You". Do you think he'll sing it?? I asked him. (No response, as I'm sure he'd tuned me out partway through the chorus.)
I was all of a sudden desperate to dust off my "Cherish" album and play it, and I was cursing myself for giving away my old Partridge Family album to my cousin, Heather. My husband is always all too happy to make a stop at Best Buy, or any electronic supplier for that matter, but he zoomed past it when he found out I was planning on purchasing one of those turntable converter things.
But I perked right up when I realized that I-Tunes has all the songs ready for downloading.
The concert is next week which gives me plenty of time to brush up and create some amazing playlists. And Andy, don't even think about trying to hide my I-Pod.

Can I go with you? Which casino? Let's follow him around, a la Judy Blume!!!
When I was eight, I really wanted to be David Cassidy. The problem was...I was really fat. Otherwise, we would have looked like brothers. My mom took me into Seattle to find some kids' husky-sized flair-legged pants. They were green. I wore them everyday, and when they wore out, they became cut-offs. They were unfortunately cropped a bit to short and made my inner thighs chafe. I'll bet David Cassidy got the occasional rash on his inner thighs.
