Leif’s locks
I never understood the attraction with Leif Garrett ("That ’70s heartthrob," Feb. 28). Back in the day, I loved Donny Osmond and Shaun Cassidy. I think maybe Leif’s hair was too puffy for me – even back then. – Caroline, Hoboken
His hair was puffy. But so was Donny Osmond’s.
Rock on
I saw Leif Garrett’s band play at Maxwell’s on Thursday night and they weren’t half bad. Rock on ’70s dude! – Henry, Weehawken
We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words.
Who’s Benson?
In "Crushed: Who was your heartthrob?" Ann from Peper says, "It was all about Robby Benson." Who is Robby Benson? – Rachel G., Jersey City
You remember … he was in Ice Castles and Harry and Son with Paul Newman.
Overheard
On the 126 bus coming back to Hoboken from New York:
GUY ON CELL PHONE: I have something to tell you. I purchased…IT. Uh huh. Uh huh. It is nice. Uh huh. Listen, I’m on the bus, but I’ll call you later and tell you what I’m thinkin’.
