We all have one. You know what I’m talking about. That guy… the rock star. Even if you weren’t one to pin Tiger Beat to your wall (I don’t think I’ve ever even opened a fan mag), you probably still have a singer who makes you swwwwoooooooonnnn.
It could be his voice or the way he moves or the songs he writes, but whatever it is it got your attention and it’s not letting go.
Personally, I have always loved Bono — even at his most sell-out-over-the-top ridiculousness. I know I’m not alone 😉
But, I got to thinking about rock stars and why we love them after reading Elyssa Patrick’s One Hit Wonder for the third time (yup, it’s a new release and I’ve read it three times. It’s so fun!)
And so, I just can’t help myself! I need to give it away to some other lucky reader!!! You NEED THIS BOOK. No. Really. I’m not kidding. I know I jest a lot, not this time.
So, tell me who your rock star crush was growing up… or maybe even now for a chance to win!
I’ll be drawing for it Friday night.
Ooh, I’m with you 100%. I’ve always had a huge crush on Bono. He’s right around the same age as me, so I was in college when U2 hit it big with New Year’s Day from the War album. I saw the music video on MTV, and that was it for me (prior to that, I’d had a huge crush on Sting – what is it about those one named musicians LOL?).
I love rock star books and I’ve had my eye on this one.
I seriously love this book. It’s so cute!
Let’s so how many Bono girls we get!
I grew up in the 80’s so my rock star crushes were Simon Lebon from Duran Duran and George Michael from Wham. 🙂
Sheri, who DOESN’T love the video for Freedom?!?
this is going to sound bizarre, but my rock star crush has always been john mayer and not for the reasons you might think. i don’t find him attractive or what he does off stage particularly charming, but his lyrics. oh his lyrics! he can do wonderful things with words. and there you have it.
Every once in a while I hear something by him and think someone with a soul must have loaned him a song *hides*
But, a lot of women love him — and for the reasons that are your “in spite” of. That’s the GREAT THING about a rock star. He doesn’t have to be real. He doesn’t have to live up to the hype. 🙂
