Immediately, I was taken back to my sisters and I back on Penrod on the Northwest side of Detroit, watching "The Monkees" and being totally enraptured by Davey Jones. My sister Suzanne had more of an affinity for Peter Tork, which we completely gave her grief about.
When we were adults, we were ushers for a live show based on the Brady Bunch series. The cast would recreate an episode of the Brady Bunch for a week, the script verbatim. The show was hilarious and we ushered through all four weeks.
One week, Suzanne and I were thrilled to find out that they were doing the episode when Marcia tries to get Davey Jones to perform at her prom. Every night we were filled with excitement at the thought of seeing Davey live, even if he was making fun of himself.
Over the years I witnessed Jie Jie crazy over Justin Timberlake, and Mimi get whisked away with the Justin Bieber phenomenon.
I guess there is nothing that compares to that first idol crush.
