Remember when you couldn't wait for the latest issue of Tiger Beat to come out? You
would save up your allowance and babysitting money to buy a copy. At school you'd swap back issues with your friends. You couldn't wait to read all about your #1 teen idol, SHAUN CASSIDY. Your locker and your room would be plastered with his pinups. You'd enter every contest, and send away for anything and everything to do with your favorite guy. Well, relive those days again! Every month, I'll post a different Shaun article from back issues of Tiger Beat. So step into your time machine and read on.
SHAUN: The Girls He Remembers!*
You may think  a guy as busy, popular and important as Shaun would never have the time or the desire to stop and think about the different girls he's dated, or fans he's spoken to, but he does!
Due to Shaun's demanding career right now, he really doesn't have much of a social life. Occasionally, when he has the opportunity to date, it's usually with girls he's known for a long time, friends he can call on at the last minute who understand him. Debra Clinger of TV's "American Girls", Carrie Fisher of the movie "Star Wars", and his best friend Debby Boone, are a few he keeps company with. Shaun says it's easier to date girls he considers good friends, because he isn't able to start a relationship at this point in his life, and give her the time and attention she deserves. But, don't think Shaun doesn't want that kind of love to develop- he's looking foward to the day when he's more established in his career, and it's less hectic and time consuming. Then he'll find that certain someone and at last, have a long-lasting and very special relationship.

At concerts or other personal appearances, Shaun comes into contact with many beautiful girls who are madly in love with him. And , given the chance, he would fall deeply in love with them, too. He'll often notice someone who really catches his eye, and wish he could walk over and talk for awhile. But, Shaun figures there's really no use. "Why start something you can't finish?", has always been his motto.

When he's singing love ballads on stage, (that's he's written with you in mind), he gazes out into the audience and sings to the girl in the first row, or the second row or the third! He'd like to bring her up on stage with him and look into her eyes as he sings. That's Shaun's romantic style and he's anxious to cultivate it, but again- there's no time.

So, for all of you who wonder  if Shaun woukd ever dream about you, or even give you a secind thought, the answer is yes! There are lots of girls he remembers from time to time, and you could very well be one of them!

If you happen to be at one of Shaun's concerts, and you notice him glancing your way, don't worry if you feel the urge to run up and give him a big hug, - remember, Shaun's heart's desite is to do the same thing, and one of these days, he may beat you to it. Now that's one thing you'll never forget!
