If you are a Leif Garrett fan join us at Leif Garrett- A New Chapter.... We are the memoir support group for Idol Truth......Any man that takes care of his parents when they need him is an amazing soul. Leif is an incredible artist and his comeback is a celebration for his fans ! Great interview Dave !
I read his book just recently and it is so sad how his life got destroyed by drugs and more. Glad he recovered. I loved him as a teenager and I love him now.
Brilliant interview and stunned how easy going and polite Leif is after everything he's been through. Honestly haven't heard anyone speak so courteously in a long time . Making it my goal in life to be more Leif! Xx
His humbleness is refreshing. I remember long ago judging famous people with problems. After I ended up with my own, I changed my tune pretty quickly. Great interview. You can hear the gratitude in Leif's voice at the end.
I agree with Leif... you ARE a fine interviewer and I apprecieated and enjoyed this one as he did. It's interesting to learn a little about the backstory of people like Leif, David Cassidy, and others of that time. I'm a product of that time, too, and I watched it all unfold from afar with awe, admiration, and a longing to somehow experience a life like theirs. With the passing of the years and with learning more about the private lives of celebrities like Leif and so many others, particularly those that start out so young- I realize more each day how grateful I am for my humble, simple, normal life of relative anonymity. Thank you for sharing, Leif... and for entertaining us. Wishing you all the best.
GREAT INTERVIEW,Leif Garrett will always be my first virtual first love and forever will be in my heart.Leif sounded like a down to earth person,not so full of himself like some of the Hollywood people, he was at one point,was so mega popular during the late 70’s and fell into the dark side of drugs and alcohol and yet,he sounded humbled and grounded from all his ups and down.I LOVE YOU LEIF TILL FOREVER❤️
Such a wonderful interview, one where Leif is actually asked great questions instead of focusing solely on his years of drug taking. There's so much more to him than that. I love Leif Garrett, crazy in love as a teen, and have so much respect for him now. ❤
Leif Garrett was my favorite star ! He’s an amazing person and I really enjoyed this interview ! I wish him health and happiness the rest of his life ♥️
This is the only decent interview with Leif I've ever heard. He is an interesting guy, far more intelligent and philosophical than many might take him for.
My sister and I were crazy fans and watched his concerts in the Philippines. I am so happy to hear this interview. God bless Leif for taking care of his mum and his late dad. Thank you for this interview❤️ I pray that Leif will stay in the right path and have the best life he desserved🙏🏼
What a wonderful interview. David asked all the right questions. Leif is a survivor. Yes we are all human with needs and wants and above all we just want to be loved. God bless Leif for taking care of his parents. Leif, you don't owe anybody anything. Just be true to yourself and be happy with yourself and that is the greatest love
This is a really good interview and Leif sounds stronger and happier in this stage of his life...I am happy for him and wish him the best. I met Leif and his Mom years ago and they were both so humble and kind and down to earth. Though I am not able to relate to the life he has lived on a professional level, I certainly can relate on a human level and growing up in the same era. I think the connection between the interviewer and Leif allowed this interview to be exceptionally enjoyable! If Leif reads this by chance...Godspeed with many good years ahead!
Great interview! You asked questions & let your guest speak. As for Leif, I am currently reading his biography & I’m happy he has come through & survived all of this, so many don’t.
Absolute admiration and respect for all what Leif has endured and for not giving up and finally getting to the stage in his life where he can be of help to others wanting to get into the music or movie Industry. He's come through it all a winner and a much wiser and an even better human being because of it. So proud of him, I will always be a huge fan of his music, his life warts n' all. God Bless you Leif.
Leif, David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman were the biggest teen idols in the history of the world and if they would have had social media back then they wouldn’t have even been able to leave their house, glad he’s still around. Thanks for this Dave, great job.
@@MusiciansOnTheRecord I so enjoyed this!! You are a great interviewer as well as a great listener- u would make an excellent therapist :)!! That was a heartfelt thank you from Leif to you at the end. What a kind, humble and genuinely nice guy. And Leif- should u actually read comments ;-)- I hope you've made peace w the past and find true happiness in your life. It's never too late. Keep the faith, God bless!
Great interview! Leif seems very honest and finally, happy! I hope to chat with him someday! He meant alot to me as a kid! I wish him the best with everything!
I just loved and enjoyed listening the interview of my one and only teenage idol, LEIF GARRETT !!! WOWWW. How amazing , good and a positive person he is....I admire him a lot when I was younger, as a star because of his look... long curly hair, great eyes and sweet smile, songs and movies ... Now as a grown up.... I even admire him more as a person... He is so honest and recognizes his UPS and DOWNS.... everybody makes mistakes, but learning from that mistake and rising up is a VICYORY !! BRAVO LEIF.!!!....👏👏👏 Much Love ❤
Gosh I was obsessed with Leif as a teen. Had all the Teen Beat posters plastered in my bedroom. I watched as they tried to mold him into what the BIZ thought would have mass appeal and it sure wasn’t what or who he was and wanted to put out there. I can understand how it could be damaging to a persons life. He’s been thru so much and I’ve always wished he’d have the life he wanted, and true happiness 💗
Very nice interview, I was a fan of Leif and felt sad for him on how he was abused and used by the people around him during his younger and heydays. He was such a sweet and nice lad back then that I could only sense. Thank God he's out of addiction and trying get up and do good again. How much Leif loves his mom could only tell he has a good heart. God bless you Leif!
I really enjoyed this interview, so honest and real. He hit the bullseye speaking about maturity and evolving into adulthood. We are all flawed humans, celebrity doesn't change that. Appreciate you Leif, you still make my heart throb😊❤
Leif, it breaks my heart knowing how hard it was for you at such a young age. But sometimes we have to hit the bottom before we can appreciate the top! Even though I will probably never get the chance to meet you, I wish you all the best life has to offer.❣️💯
I 've always loved Leif . He is so kind and down to earth.This is a great interview. And if anyone out here doesn't know his mom wrote a book as well it s called puppets on a string. I don t know it got published or not. Would have to ask Leif . But he is a awesome still listen to him .
What a nice, thoughtful man. I've been a fan since the 70's. Had a poster of him on my wall when I was in my early teens. Enjoyed him on an episode of Family with Kristy McNichol as his "lady."
This was a great interview! Can' t wait to read his book that I ordered today♥️ He seems to be such a nice person. He was my idol when I was only 12 years old, before he became a singer😊I lived in Toronto at that time, now I' m writing from Italy
I remember Leif when he hit the UK in the late-70s then I think he just became a 'whatever happened to....' heard his interview on Jonesy's Jukebox a couple of years ago and he was such a funny guy. Hearing this now, he is actually just a naturally humble guy making the best of his life. Will be looking for his book straight away!
Man time flys by. Saw him in Jackson Mi small venu late 70's.. 3 neighborhood girls who I'd do anything to hang with myself and one friends mother, who was also in awe of this young man. LOL .. Wasn't a girl in my neighborhood who wasn't head over heels for him. Maybe one of 40 boys or so there and he was unreal.. Honestly, he was like a young Elvis or a Beatle to every young girl there.. and I gotta say it was an incredible atmosphere for a young boy to experience.. Always appreciated him regardless of what was written or said. It's not about that to me.. MEMORIES.. That's what I'm enjoying during this phase of life and that event is truly a fantastic memory... Thnx LG ✌
Great friggin interview..I just love the Honesty flowing forth from Leif..I remember Leif as a little kid in the 70’s in magazines and television..Love the interviewer asking great questions..
Such an honest interview, really sending positive vibes to Leif..been a fan from the past and today. Please do try to get back into acting, loved watching you in the show Family,and as the character Lundy with your horse Domingo.
I loved this interview and the book! It was so nice to learn about his life in his own words and what he's been through. He seems like such a genuine kind person on top of being creative, intelligent and talented. I wish him success on his next projects and continued good mental and physical health. Super excited if he writes more books and am hoping he might do a book signing tour that brings him up to Canada! Happy to have seen his concert in Toronto in 1979 and thrilled he's doing well now.
You are great and nice person Mr. Leif We love u very much,you are si honest,especially you are so so handsome man,Im still my no. One idol I really like your face,God Bless and protect you always Leif from Philippines Davao City
Love Leif Garrett. His book is Amazing! I can’t believe ppl just show up at his house and say, “You owe me” or someone grabbing Justine’s arm during a dinner date! Smh.
This was really good. Leif seems like a genuine nice guy. I have read his book Idol Truth and enjoyed it. I have been a fan of Leif's for a long time. Love to Leif from the UK 💝
Great interview! I think it was terrible when someone in prison called him a loser! I want to smack that person for making that comment at Leif! Makes me so angry when I hear people talking like that!
His mother & sister should have been allowed to tour with him when he was singing. How could managers justify sending a teenage all over the world alone?!
Around 20:45...Leif is absolutely correct. You've got maybe...5 years...to hone in on pre-adolescent lust. I'm glad he's got the book and hopefully other projects.

Someone please upload. Leif Garrett's appearance on the Dr Oz Show !🎤👱🎹🎻🎻🎻🎺🎵
Management would not allow him to sing songs he found in Europe because those songs had Copyrights (surely International Copyrights), so they would have had to pay those writers, et.al., to use them. & Then his management was also aware & unhappy that Leif was trying to think for himself. It surely was no accident that his parent was no with him, & he was being given drugs!!! That's control tactics!!!
I am 3 years too late with this comment Sorry about all the drug issues etc. he seems like a pretty balanced person He actually is a survivor considering what happened to some of the other teens stars.
She's a lesbian, so it wouldn't have happened. lol I remember him saying in an interview the true love of his life was Nicolette Sheridan. He said he was broken when she dumped him and he never got over it. I'm thinking maybe that's why he never got married? I wonder if he still loves her.

Leif was sooo beautiful
Such a sweet soul ❤❤
What a down to earth guy ...... ❤ been crushing on him since the 70's.😍🥰😘
Love Leif❤
