After seeing Morrissey perform to a sold-out show at Avalon Sunday night, a subversive and frightening thought occurred to me. The man who reigned supreme in England in the 1980s with his band The Smiths has much in common with America's First Hotties Of Pop, the Backstreet Boys...
...Sacrilege!" you might cry, to compare the two. However, the parallels are undeniable. Both Morrissey and the Backstreet Boys possess boyish charm and good looks that are distinctly sexual while not being overly threatening or macho. And while the Boys attract hordes of screaming crowds and attempted groping wherever they go, the situation on Lansdowne St. was not much different.

The voters only got two of the five Best Picture nominees right--American Beauty and The Insider. Because Oscar voters are voters for life, they all tend to be very, very old (I bet It's a Wonderful Life gets a few write-in votes every...
