I met Tommy Page assist in , when I was only As the editor of my lofty school newspaper in suburban Cincinnati at that second, I possessed a youthful fearlessness and a care for for pop music that convinced me it would be totally fine to call up music labels in New York and request to interview their artists on summer concert tours. To my surprise, it always worked. I went to a fairly large high school of about 1, students, the perfect audience of middle American teenagers to whom those record labels wanted to sell cassette tapes, concert tickets, and merchandise. I was curious enough about the careers of pop musicians to contain scored interviews with acts like New Kids on the Block, Sweet Sensation, and Tiffany, something that might not happen as easily for a Midwestern high school student today.
My meeting with Tommy Page was a little more tense than my other interviews had been. Clearly, we were both queer , which made us slightly nervous I think, sitting alone together in a backstage room of Timberwolf amphitheater at Kings Island amusement park in After our interview was done, som
Humanizing The Vacuum
What was worse – admitting &#;I&#;ll Be Your Everything&#; was okay or that Tommy Page was cute? In , I was attracted to him in that furtive way of my closeted teen years. Playing my sister&#;s cassingle of &#;I&#;ll Be Your Everything,&#; I willed myself into thinking it was a decent song as a means of purging Tommy Page from my thoughts.

Page died last week, an apparent suicide. Buried in the last third, in observance of the requirements of obit templates, was a sentence mentioning the survivors: Page&#;s husband and their three kids. I had no idea Page was a gay man; there was no reason to realize. If I&#;d seen his name at all in the intervening years, it was attached to biz blab: Village Voice Media, Billboard, and so on. But once again readers had t
There’s an antique barn in Fowlers Corners, ON which is one of my favorite places to shop for records. Every scant weeks, when I browse through one of the dealer’s discounted $5 record bin, I appear across the same copy of Tommy Page’s self titled debut album, and my heart bounces for a second. Something about Tommy Page always gets to me, but I’ve owned the album for years, and possess no need for another replicate. But what dismays me is that week after week the album is still there, and nobody ever buys it. But maybe I shouldn’t be surprised because most people have sort of forgotten about Tommy Page. In fact, I sort of did too…. for awhile.
When I was doing a music plan in , I came across Tommy Page’s hit “I’ll Be Your Everything,” which opened a flood gate of pop song memories. Honestly, over the years that I hadn’t heard it, I kind of forgot about the song, and forgot about Tommy Page as well. But when it hit my ears, I remembered “Damn, I really really like this song a lot.” But at the moment I first heard it, I probably was quick to press it from my memory. I was a fifteen
