Boy bands have been around a long time. There’s the general make-up of the band (watch a Behind the Music on the New Kids on the Block to learn more) and you see it repeated amongst N Sync, Backstreet, etc. Two weekends ago I was at a club watching my friend’s band (Rockets to Mars) play and the band who had played before them was clearing out their equipment. One guy walked by and I looked at him. I knew him. But from where? And then there was the moment of recognition. And on his face of, “Oh shit – she recognizes me.”
See, in the band 98 degrees, there were (are?) three singers. First there is the “hot one” – Nick Lachay. Then there was the hot one’s brother who was “kinda hot.” Finally there was the good musician who wasn’t hot at all. Kinda ugly even.
That’s who I saw!Twice. I was so close I almost touched. Ah, brushes with the ugly and famous.
