My name is Eric, I'm 43-years-old and I like the Backstreet Boys. It started innocently enough in 1996 when I was working for a Top 40 radio station. I played "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" and as much as I really didn't want to like it, I couldn't help loving it.
The addiction grew as more singles were released: "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", "As Long As You Love Me" and "I Want It That Way".
By the time "Larger Than Life" came out in '99, I was in full BSB hysteria. (I even collected the action figures from Burger King and had them prominently displayed on my desk at work.)
Yesterday I noticed this message from BSB's Kevin Richardson on my Facebook news feed: "A cover of one of my favorite artists of all time. Cover 2015 coming soon..." It was then linked to a video of him singing Billy Joel's "She's Got A Way". (I also happen to love Billy Joel, although I don't have his action figure. )
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go squee!
