THE ELM TREASON NEWSLETTER NUMBER 73
SEPTEMBER 9, 2022
ELM TREASON TIDBITS
– A quiet week in terms of band news. Work on the new album continues.
Your Input: The FIRST!
Which artist, band or celebrity made your heart first go pitter-patter for the first time?
Andy: “My first crush was Daphne from Scooby Doo, but the fact that she was not actually alive was an issue… eventually. My first crush of an actual flesh and blood music star was Olivia Newton John. It was the first time I started getting urgent messages from my hormones (among other body regions). My first man-crush was The Fonz.”
Bobby: “My first crush was Lynda Carter. Wonder Woman. When she appeared in a scene on the screen it made me stand at attention – while I was still sitting down.”

Olivia Newton John
Yep. Same here, Glenn. The song “Have You Never been Mellow” got me in my early formative years… and those pictures of her. SO PRETTY.
David Cassidy.
He thinks he loves you… so what are you so afraid of?
Ginger from Gilligan’s Island. Don’t forget that iconic Farrah Facetted poster!!!
Hi Daniel! I still have an original PILLOW with that iconic Farrah picture on it… from back in the day. It’s barely together, but I still got it! 🙂
Farrah Fawcett, I meant
Bobby Sherman
He made many a heart flutter in the day, Katie!
Shaun Cassidy. He was a cutie 🙂
Did he not have a MONSTER HIT with the cover of Da-Do-Run-Run?
David Cassidy, because of The Partridge Family, and that we share a Birthday! 🥰
You know something? I (Andy) just ADORE the theme song to that show. Can’t help it. REALLY NICE chord progression.
Billy Idol
EVERY DAY is a nice day for a white wedding, let’s face it.
I’m old so Raquel Welch actress, music star Stevie Nicks
Hey Alvin!
Not old at all.
Seasoned. Cultivated. Accomplished. Experienced. Well-Versed.
And let’s face it… Raquel’s beauty TRANSCENDS the generations.
Got to say it was my introduction to electronic music through Larry Fast’s Synergy LP decades ago. After that, I found Walter (Wendy) Carlos with Switched-On Bach, and evolved to Yes, Rick Wakeman, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, and Alan Parsons Project. Changed my life forever.
Hey, Bob! Absolutely dig it. Love that “progression” (pun intended in a roundabout way. See what I did there?) Rock on, brother!
Peggy Lipton from the Mod Squad was my first crush.
I loved the Partridge family and Danny Bonaduce was only four
months older than me, funny and a cool character on the show, plus he was a musician,
so I became an instant fan.
Oh yes! Rashida Jones’ mom with Quincy Jones.
Christie Brinkley
Blondie
Olivia Newton John
Farrah Fawcett
Lynda Carter
🤣🤣🤣
Hey Vinnie!
My (Andy’s) heart is fluttering just reading your list. All of them… hell yes!
Well, I guess it would have to be Elvis, but I had a huge crush on Heaven knows, Mr. Allison.
The King did it for a LOT of people, Ellen. The first rock and roll idol.
A hunka hunka burnin’ love!
My first crush was Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. I think I was six or seven. The first musician I has a crush on was Bob Seger.
I (Andy) dig both of them. MAN CRUSHES for sure, Lisa!
To this day.
EVEN Willie Wonka!
Would have to be Bowie,you guys crack me upwith your crush descriptions haha
