According to the article Leif had "a history of drug issues" - it then goes on to mention 2 (two!) occasions where he was ALLEGED to have been either buying or using. Some 'history'.

Part of me I feels sorry for him. I have no doubt he had a lot of pressure on him back in '79 when he was, what, 18 or 19? You can too easily see the scenerio, screaming girls, record company Porsche, everything he wants and the hanger-on to get it and as soon as the hits dry up, nothing left. He's obviously got some issues and needs some help, which I hope he gets.

And the other side of me thinks - hot girls, great drugs, porsches...fck him! I've never had those things...send him down!

No, but really, help is what he needs...or a better way of getting drugs.

sold a few LG albums when I worked in the record store, not as many as Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb though. in the New York Daily News this AM Leif's mom is quoted and she blames his habit on the Rolling Stones...

The dude caused his best friend to become a paraplegic, according to "Behind the Music."

"You ready for me to drop a bomb on you, man? You saved my life that night" has been permanently etched into my brain thanks to a misspent youth of Behind the Music watchage.

I don't act 40 and I don't look 40. Age is a state of mind, you can stagnate or just continue.

I don't look too different. I just look a little older.

uhhh...

"I Was Made For Dancing" was better than anything Shaun Cassidy ever did, if you ask me! (Definitely not up to Bay City Rollers standards, tho.)

Those old-school videos are so disorienting - they literally used videotape, which doesn't deteriorate like film, so they look as clean as though they were just shot last week, but for the jaw-dropping hairstyles and clothing.

Watching this Behind the Music now. "For Leif, the party never stopped." I'm ready for Roland drop that bomb on me...
