[no name no slogan]

LOS ANGELES — Seventies teen idol Leif Garrett was being held without bail after authorities said he was suspected of carrying narcotics and not having a subway ticket.

Garrett, 44, was arrested by sheriff's deputies Saturday on the platform of the Pershing Square Red Line station when he didn't have a ticket, authorities said. Deputies found suspected narcotics during a search, officials said.

He has not been charged and is scheduled to appear in court today, according to the sheriff's Web site.

I can understand carrying narcotics, but not having a subway ticket? :cry:

[Shine]

1. Yeah, that is weird.

I used to hate this guy, when I was a teenager.

[Crazy Dave]

2. What a has-been

I heard that he's bald too.

[Heidi]

3. What does baldness have to do with anything?

Or do genetic presidpositions now automatically make one a has-been?

[Crazy Dave]

5. >>What does baldness have to do with anything?

You don't get the context of it obviously. He was a BIG haired pretty-boy way back and I do mean way back. No talent in my opinion, only his looks and when he lost that, he had nothing.

7. Not much big hair now...

12. WHOA, NELLIE!!! From pretty, big-haired young boy...

...to looking like the type who molests pretty, big-haired young boys--Father Time is really a bitch.

[Heidi]

8. Sorry, but as a liberal, I just don't get a lot of joy

from seeing a guy get busted for 1) not having a subway token; and b) possession.

[Crazy Dave]

10. Sheeesh!

You don't even know what I'm talking about. It's a damn joke! :banghead:

Can anybody else explain it better than me? Wasting my time!

[Heidi]

11. I know you were attempting a joke.

How many others laughed? Would you say I'm in the majority, or the minority, democratically speaking, of course. :hi:

[Crazy Dave]

15. You're bad Heidi

And meaner than my real cousin Heidi :P

[Heidi]

16. Sorry.

The bald thing got me goin'.

My apologies for being mean. :pals:

[Crazy Dave]

18. Me 2

:pals:

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Oh my god! I don't have a subway ticket either!

I'd better hide from the police!
:scared:

[ET Awful]

6. Yes, but you never tried to market shitty music

:P

[Heidi]

9. Arresting people for not having subway tickets,

or using lack of a subway ticket as pretext to search them for drugs, is evidence of how far we've fallen as a society, in my opinion.

[EstimatedProphet]

20. Exactly. Forget probable cause, not it's "probable need to arrest"

Let's just arrest people at randon, shall we?

[Crankie Avalon]

13. Well, he never wuz no Shaun Cassidy.

:silly:

[Theres-a]

14. That's a fact.

[HughBeaumont]

17. This guy cripples his best friend in an accident

. . . gone through more rehabs than Adam Rich and Bobby Downey combined . . . I mean, how many chances do you GIVE this guy?

And really, once the one thing you got famous for goes, it's time to re-think your life. The problem is, he never HAD a life other than that. He literally doesn't know HOW to do anything else.

[Servotron]

19. I.....was made for shooting up..... all all all all night long.......

The only thing worse than a musician turning into a junkie is a teen idol fraud without musical talent who turned into a junkie.

21. Wonder how he got money to buy narcotics?
