Reply #5: I'm ashamed to know this but.....in the interest of fairness... [View All]

I read an article on them back in their heyday. I think it was in Spin magazine so it tackled the subject with a snarkiness that was to be expected given that it was a pseudo hipster magazine covering a poppish boy band.

The point being that while it portrayed every other member of the band as self centered buffoons who could care less about their fans in their quest for chasing tail, the article actually portrayed this guy in a positive light. There was one portion of the article I remember where the rest of the band kind of blew past a fan in a wheelchair while he took the time to talk with her, pose for pics, and sign her stuff. He seemed to be kind of conflicted about the way the rest of the guys handled their fame. So who knows.

So while I sympathize with and share the urge to laugh, this guy may actually be sincere. Doesn't mean I like him or care, but still. In the interest of fairness.
