Ridin' the train high on cocaine...with no ticket...which is illegal

"Leif Garrett arrested in L.A.:1970s teen idol suspected of carrying narcotics." Who knew Leif Garrett was worthy of any headline less than one on today's cnn.com? Apparently, he's being held without bail after authorities said he was suspected of carrying narcotics and not having a subway ticket. Kids these days.

I also learned from the article that in 1979, he rear-ended another car while driving a Porsche, leaving his passenger disabled. This article totally reminded me to never become a teen idol because 30 years later I might find my drug induced public transportation shenanigans and 26 year-old car accidents in the news....which of course would lead to a nervous breakdown, rehab stint, made-for-TV movie (if I'm lucky it'll be on Lifetime) and a book deal on the incident...which might leave me with enough cash for more coke and a train ticket.
