erilynPopped over to Borders this evening to use a $10 discount before it expired (got an older Pratchett I didn't have, couldn't find anything else), but I browsed through an unauthorised biography of Justin that I haven't seen around before. It's published recently, but my main interest was in the early Nsync stuff.
Have I mentioned my unholy love of the Creation Myth? I love it more than I can put into words. The endless variations, "Lansten", the omissions (hi Jason!), the bullshit, the pentegram and JC's hand analogy from N the Mix (heh, thinking about it makes me want to watch it), just...everything.
Well this book had yet another variation I hadn't heard before. Apparently, before Lance, before Jason, there was...Charles Edwards. Proto-Backstreet Boy Charles Edwards. He and Chris were friends, you see, and I think Charles was actually in the group before Justin, from what I can recall, but leaves very early on to get married (it was the rampant homoeroticism that drove him away and into the arms of a woman!), so they got Jason, and then Lance. Has anyone heard this variation before? Sadly, as it was new, it was fullprice. If it had been $5, I might have bought it for that gem alone. Though the author seemed to have way too much info about Justin's girlfriends from when he was a teenager.
There's always another Creation Myth, and that's why I love popfandom *g*.

Date: 2005-01-27 11:39 am (UTC)The BoxTree biography (Boys in skiwear for the 97 European tour with BRIGHT RED background) was actually quite information, albeit leaving out all the nasty parts about Lou and all. And the interviews with the Boys and the people they knew were just too...happy? Too perfect. Ugh.
Ah, The Creation Myth. How I love thee. They should make this a university course. Someone somewhere already has a Madonna one.
