...stood in front of 1500 people and cried twice. Not bawling out loud, of course. A person who held the same office held by both presidential Roosevelts tends to make an effort to avoid sobbing during a speech. But the tears in his eyes and in his voice were obvious twice, visible and audible even in the adjacent rooms on Simulcast. No matter what you might think of Cuomo, or even if you couldn't care less about Cuomo, you have to admit that it's kind of strange to see someone crying in the ARCO Forum--especially when that...

The article made it sound as if their fans are all under 15 and the groups would be around just a short time because they aren't really that good. I don't know about the other singers, but the Backstreet Boys have lasted for almost seven years, and they're doing better than ever. They have fans...
