It is kind of surreal sometimes, for those of us not young, but not old.  You have a heated debate with someone, then you see another post from them, and it says "I'm 75", and you think, "Oh". 

 

The thing with online discussions is, you often think about people as being roughly the same as you, so reality always comes as a bit of a surprise.

I agree.

But then there are the millennials, they are just different. 😉

Curious George & Pippi ..from the book club at school.

 

OP did state 'pre-adolescence'  Bob Hayes got me into track & field.  A good thing, as PoPo could never catch my butt

I don't remember how old I was. But I remember her from Color TV - not black and white anymore. So maybe I was already 8 years old or so.

Yes! She was a stunner in her country music scenes too. Simple and natural beauty!

Like an earlier poster said "raw beauty"!

Some members on online forums organise get-togethers, so that members could meet personally.  This can be nice, sometimes.

I also odolized John Holmes I had dreams I would be as big as him one day. As the years passed by I come to realize my dreams would never come true.

If that is the John Holmes I think you mean, I never heard of him until after I was discharged from the Army in 1973.   And it was several years later too. 
So, not an adolescent idol.   Makes me wonder how old you are. 

Do you know who George Washington Carver is?

And somewhat misinformed , his name is Rob Halford,      Nothing  "naive" about you  picking gay singers as your idols, You are just more perceptive than you give yourself credit for  Some of the above didn't "come out" until late in life so you can obviously spot them. Out of interest   which was your favorite musical ?    

Tommy by Elton John.

[brianthainess]

The Lone Ranger, Davey Crocket,.... Lu Lu, Lina Zavaroni,

Ah it was I wanted to Upload a GIF but they are against the rules here on their content.

It was the first 'porn' movie I ever saw, at an 'Adult' cinema, My Nympho GF took us to see it, I was about 25yrs old. She was the only female in the place.

June Allyson was my 1st love, I was 10 years old when I watched this movie and the op has reminded me that I have to watch it again, if only for the music.

Fess Parker as Davy Crockett.  As a kid, I was entralled by the way the Alamo eposode ended.  The image of Crockett swinging his rifle at the wave of Mexicans has stayed with me all my life.

 

 

On the female side, I loved Annette Funicello.

  Tommy was written as a Rock opera by Pete Townsend in around 1969 , he was the guitarist for The Who,  It was nothing to do with Elton John.

Elton John covered the song "pinball wizard" in the 1975 film version

In honour to one of the first porn saw on bootleg VHS from the Mitchell Bros Theatre in San Fran I am hoping the proposed revision to Thai content law will allow local producers to mount a remake of ERUPTION- 1977 called .

Set in Pattaya , Noi is a wealthy heiress who persuades farang insurance salesman and boiler-room  scammer, Peter, to sell her husband a 100 million baht life insurance policy, and then persuades Peter to kill him to get the money. The murder set up as a bizarre jet-ski accident goes off without a hitch, but when the one honest cop in Chonburi threatens to uncover the plot, Peter begins to suspect that Noi may betray him and turns to her promiscuous  stepdaughter, Apple, to help turn the tables on her and Nois boyfriend, Ivan whom is apparently in cahoots with Noi....

Dick Cavett was great.

Yes they had some intelligent television back then.

Don't freak, people said Negros back then.

James Baldwin didn't become an idol for me until adolescence though.
