My best friend and I were in love with him when we were teenagers. It devastated us when he died. He was so beautiful.
I love this thread! LOLI was just in the shower thinking about Mick Jagger and Hullabaloo and I suddenly realized, no one had mentioned Illya Kuriakin! Illya...we all had major crushes on him. For those who are too young to remember, I am taking about David McCalllum as Illya in the Man From U.N.C.L.E.Illya is the blond. Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) wasn't too shabby either.Leslie
Mick Jagger was so...something. I was alternately attracted and repelled.
Ah, Mark Harmon, almost forgot about him:L
Mick was brimming with sexual charisma. Tim Curry's Frank-N-Furter owed much to Jagger's example.And speaking of attracted and repelled, that pretty aptly sums up my impression of Shane MacGowan, former lead singer of the Pogues. I'm not proud to admit that a person's appearance can repel me, but I could barely bear to look at him when a first cousin of mine introduced me to the music of the Pogues. But I liked the music, kept getting exposed to Shane's image, and over time, realized I had actually developed a crush on the guy! Not an adolescent crush, but a crush nonetheless. Shane introduced me to the bewildering and unexpected allure of teeth that only a mother could (or should) love!
Shayne McGowan brought much of his appearance on himself - his alchoholism which he seems to have refused to get under control has really made his looks, teeth, skin deteriorate. I have never seen o read an interview when hes not been drunk or high on something.
