wanna be a rockstar

I'm reading and article entitled Top 10 Teen Heartthrobs and this is one of them:


David Cassidy, lovin' life as a teen idol.





But the #1 teen idol(s) of all time, and this was the reasoning:


Face it, the Beatles are the best. They popularized the mop-top, they led the British invasion, and they still hold the record for most Number 1 singles of all time (20). Between 1964 and 1970, a Beatles song occupied the No. 1 spot on Billboard charts for a total of 58 weeks. At concerts, the teenage hysterics got so bad that the group couldn't hear themselves play. In 1966, the band couldn't take Beatlemania anymore and decided to stop touring. And then something amazing happened: they released experimental, eclectic albums and turned into rock 'n' roll legends.

All good reasons, I think. I mean, it is easy to get swept up into Beatlemania. It's easier to write them off as teen idols. However, the Beatles did not stop at that. I'm not saying they are my favorite band by any means, but they are undeniably versatile.

Want to be a teen idol? Then you want to be a rockstar first.
