Soul Coughing wasn’t exactly the Backstreet Boys either. While the phrase “warm and fuzzy” might evoke images of big purple dinosaurs, Doughty’s work with his former band is evidence that music need not be totally lame to be non-threatening. Doughty has nothing but praise for both “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “I Want It That Way,” but he has managed since Soul Coughing’s debut album, Ruby Vroom (1994) to create an incredibly satisfying sound...
...wishfully forecast doom and destruction for Britney Spears and the rest of the teen pop movement, she and ’NSYNC continue to outlive the predictions. Why? Because as savvily packaged and heavily promoted as they may be, their songs remain danceable and fun.

Officers allegedly told him more than 10 times to leave the club and, finally, to depart by the count...
...Carson Daly saw himself at a bar, he'd beat himself up. "Whenever I'm in a bar like this, someone will get real drunk and yell, 'Backstreet Boys.' If I were a regular 28-year-old guy, I'd think the same thing, that I'm a watered-down teen idol. I get it," he says, drinking his second Stoli with lime at an Irish pub in midtown Manhattan. "Whenever that happens, I buy the guy who said it a shot of Jack Daniel's, and in 10 minutes I'm his new best friend." Even Jimmy Kimmel...
