The scruff, the scarf, the lips, the eyes.
He will send me to my grave.

I went to pick up my copy of Justin's Rolling Stone today and ended up with a tour of the office. They have Chris' glitter outfit on display in a big glass case and the inside is signed by all of the guys. They've got his shoes, too. And a copy of the issue on display, as well. I bounced a bit. And tried my best to contain myself as I was in a business environment and I already gave away any bit of professionalism by squeeing over the magazine. But yes! Chris' glitter outfit! Hee!
Rolling Stone is out on Friday (?) so there's really no need to type the whole article but here are some parts that stood out for me for various reasons.
Lynn on confidence
"At the VMA's, when he won the award [for Best Male Video] and Eminem and 50 Cent stood up to applaud, that left such an impression on him," she says. "That was respect from a part of the industry that had dogged the boy-band thing. Not that he's ever been lacking in confidence - because the child would argue with God - but I think it's made him feel more confident."
Justin on SARSock
It wasn't all smooth sailing for Timberlake this year. When I ask whether he would change anything that happened in 2003, he laughs and says, "The SARS concert in Toronto. That was really tough for me to go through."..."But when Mick Jagger asks you to come do a benefit concert, do you say no? And then he says, 'I want you to do "Miss You" with me, as well.' I'm like, 'Are you kidding? I might actually spontaneously combust if I get to grace the same stage with you. I might actually shoot a wad into the crowd.'"
Justin on 'Nsync/teen pop then and now
But if little Justin had such varied tastes in music, you wouldn't know it from the music he made with 'Nsync. "I was so anxious to be involved with music," he says. "Not that I'm speaking badly about anything I've done, but I just didn't know any better."
The million-dollar question, then, is whether Timberlake will stay on his own, or go back to the boy-band thing. Since he began work on Justified last year, he has cagily avoided discussing how his solo career might affect the future of 'Nsync. He has tended to say, diplomatically, that "those guys will always be my brothers." ( More on this )
That's about as straight forward as it gets.

Heh. *blinks innocently* We do it to ourselves, you know.
Since I didn't want to editorialize when I originally posted the quote, I'll say this now and be brief. Parts of it may sting, but none of it surprises me. Particularly the fact that he prefers his solo work over earlier group work. To me, that seems like a natural progression/reaction for an artist. Also, print articles like this one are invariably influenced by the interviewer's perspective. And I'll leave it at that because it wasn't the point of this post.
The point is TREATS! Treats from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
babygotbass (Erin) and mixedsignal! Erin sent me a sparkly initial bracelet that I asked her to pick up for me but she included a Joey key chain and a baby!sync folder and Jason Mraz live and the coolest fucking Paris photo album. A Paris photo album! Thank you, Erin! And! mixedsignal sent me a DMB CD and the solo DM stuff. Thank you, too! I love presents. :)
