My Take

Leif Garrett was the face plastered on every teen magazine in America in the late '70s — born in Hollywood, built like he was designed specifically for Tiger Beat covers, and he actually had the pop chops to back it up. "I Was Made for Dancin'" hit the top five in 1978 and honestly it still holds up as a perfectly crafted disco-pop confection. What makes his story compelling rather than just nostalgic is how it turned messy: the teen idol machine chewed him up pretty thoroughly, and he's been remarkably candid over the years about the drug struggles that followed the fame. There's something almost Shakespearean about someone handed that much adoration before they're old enough to drive. I respect that he's still out there, still showing up.
