Oh, c'mon, lady. I remember reading stories about you back then and how you let your son, barely a teenager, shack up with Telly Sevalas' barely teenage daughter right in your home, all the while they partied under your nose and you thought it was cute.

Garrett is responsible for his own behavior, but I don't think his mama helped him much.

Me too! Except when Leif was on it. Never thought he was attractive and I never knew why he kept bumping Donny off the cover. Hrmpf!

I think that is Metamusol. Didn't they sponsor the last tour, or was that Geritol?

"His mom trying to blame other rock stars for her sons problems is a bunch of misplaced crap. Common lady, your little boy isn't 15 anymore. "

"The search for someone to blame always succeeds."

No I don't and I wonder why? I googled them, and I'm surprised.

But I forgot to add Andy Gibb and Rex Smith.

It's not because he's gay-repressed.

Oh, what a player hater you are.  Check this out:

That's a picture that makes even a straight man wonder what the other side is like...

Teri? Is that you? My best friend from Junior High? Did you have a shrine to Donny inside your closet, too? ;)
