Bye Bye Backstreet Boys
1,258 wordsNsync: A True Talent in Music Here we go, the title of one of many Nsync songs, but it is also a term that cynics often use referring to the group. Here we go, another boy band, they all sound the same, etc. , etc. , etc. I admit that two years ago I agreed with the critics of this new boy band movement, in that they were trying to duplicate the success of groups such as New Kids on the Block and New Edition.

End Of The Year Fab Four

The enlightenment served to cripple the intolerance of incisive religious and government leaders, but did not obliterate censorship altogether. Instead, the job of expurgating unacceptable ideas has simply fallen into new hands using new tactics. Censors now assume the guise of capitalist retailers and distributors, special-i...

The original album recording was lost, and deadlines caused the band to have to remix it in its entirety in just under eleven hours ("Jimi", Rolling 45).
