Fatone, 29, who was the first 'N Sync bandmate to find out Bass is gay. "I back him up 100 percent."
hehe...
That made me giggle IRL. Thanks for the link.
oh geez.
Good for him.
Wasn't he training to be a cosmonaut?
yea but something happened with the 1 million he needed to fly into space or something like that. he couldnt come up with the extra funds?? so it never happened.
this is going to ruin the lives of some girls i know, but i guess i know a couple of guys who will be really excited to hear this... hmm. there is balance in the force.
so is that why justin timberlake left n'sync? st may not wanna tell you guys this but guess waht I found in the room? lol A postcard of lance!
His sexual preference should not have mattered to begin with. It is kind of ironic I s'pose.
OEC
*gasp* i think i'm going to have a heart attack and die from NOT suprise.
I agree OEC, shouldn't have anything to do with hs musical ability etc. but hey, this is a nation of shallow people.

Do you think the shallowness is inherent in the people? Or is it somehow a product of media saturation? I read a bunch of media deconstruction this summer and the question remained.Quote:

It's a joint Evil this media/people combination that sadly defines this nation. So yes.

i agree, but it's not really the musical ability that counts, if i am not mistaken. it's the "teen heart throb" quality. their/his music & merch would not have been labeled as "harmless" in the type of community i am from if he'd been openly gay, not to mention the fact that twelve year old girls don't normally go quite as crazy over (i.e. "I'M THE FUTURE MRS. BASS") homosexual men.Quote:

The marketing is very effective. I think that, from the 60s forward, people have been sold things that are supposed to distinguish them. If they want to continue to distinguish themselves, they invariably have to have the latest "hip" consumer goods. This differs a bit from the 50s "keep up with the Joneses" altho many will still seek the status symbols.Quote:
