1970’s Flashback: Peter Frampton
I was a kid when Peter Frampton hit his peak in the mid 70’s, but I still remember how popular he was for a few years back then. He was like the Spice girls, Madonna, and Michael Jackson all wrapped into one huge ball of Mega Stardom, for then at least. So here’s a little flashback for you.

This clip does indeed take me back a few decades when I unashamedly danced to this at the youth club, and I used to (borrow) my brother’s album when he was out, listen and dream about becoming a mega pop star, adored by thousands of gorgeous girls. Well what do you know, that didn’t happen, I instead ended up becoming a policeman and getting spat on every Friday and Saturday night by not so gorgous girls!!! Hey Ho

I remember when I was a little kid, I was traveling alone on United to visit my Great Grandmother in Chicago. It was around 1975, the height of Frampton Mania, but I was only 9-10, so I didn’t really know that much about music. So I land at Chicago Oheara airport, by myself, I walk through the terminal looking for my grand parents (they were late)…. when this creepy guy comes up to me and says “Hey son, want to buy some Peter Frampton records?” Right at that moment, another guy, in a suit with a fedora grabs me, and litterally drags me away from the creepy guy, and says “Stay away from him son”… and deposits me about 100 ft away. To this day I’m not sure if the 2nd guy was a cop, and if the first guy was some kinda child molestor, or what…. guess I’ll never know. Anyways… that’s the first time I heard of Peter Frampton. Later on I got to appreciate his music (after his hey day) but I still remember that incident.

Oh my - what a summer that was when everywhere you went - every bar, every club, every party, etc. - you heard Peter Frampton
And, in case you are feeling young just thinking about how much fun you had that summer, check out Peter now.
