I have a very ambivalent attitude to Donny Osmond! As irritating as he and his entire family were, I got most of my teen action because of a passing resemblance to him. Thanks to a first gig my mother got our fledgling band at her schools Xmas party, girls came and spoke to the shy 15yr old Wiffen instead of me having to think of clever opening lines. He was also the first person I ever saw use a ribbon controller (was that a CS80 on Crazy Horses?). And when Peter Gabriel took him under his wing in the late 80s, I felt vindicated. But then he went and took on the über-plagiarist Lloyd-Webbers Joseph with which we were tortured at school, he lost my sympathy. Having just heard on BBC1 about the stagefright that induced, I am torn between sympathy and serves you right! I guess that in the end I am grateful for the helping hand in my formative romantic escapades and will cut him some slack on the Joseph betrayal!
