Cathy -this is a funny post for a couple of reasons, BUT I'm sworn off EVER dissing Justin Timberlake again. I made this post about a year ago, about Justin being on the cover of Rolling Stone. http://www.jbonamassa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=819
"Funny you should bring up the cover-I couldn't resist sending Rolling Stone an e-mail about Justin Timberlake on the current cover- I told them they totally lost their mojo and in a polite way to put someone on the cover with some chops that can actually play a guitar instead of just hanging it on their shoulder for show... fill in the blank...I found the current cover disturbing, don't mean to offend anyone that's a Justin fan...I think it was the wet t-shirt that did me in."
No exxageration, this was a little bit eerie-my fingers were just coming off the keyboard from typing this and my daughter walks in the door from dance class and says...Mom, you're not going to believe what crappy song we're doing for our dance recital and it was Sexy Back, which means once a week, for an hour from Sept. to June she practices a dance routine to that song preparing for the year end recital. I think they picked it for the rhythm of the song, although the class started out being a jazz dance class, now its jazz/hip-hop. Everytime I was on the carpool run I'd hear Justin blaring in my ears...I served my penance. Now, its your turn, even though you said something nice...if Justin has a message board tell him how you liked his band...eventually plug Joe, its all from the heart...you never know...maybe he can get him on Saturday Night Live or get one of his girlfriends to use one of Joe's songs in a movie.
I found my daughter playing some of her old N'Sync discs...she didn't want her brothers to hear...they would abuse her...they are music critics. I always liked Just Got Paid or something like Money, Money Money that she use to play a few years back.
Anyway Cathy, I'll open my mind since you seem to have excellent taste in music...does he have something new out?

Now, this is musical theater on a large scale. TiVo allows for ff during dance routines which look cool at double speed anyway! But I enjoyed alot of this show. He has one bada## band. Mike Scott was the guitar players name, and when allowed, really soared. In fact, there were many times when I thought that a guitar player would love laying some lead tracks overtop!!! I have to give JT credit for amazing talent. The best is when he sits and plays the piano. I admit to liking the boy singer bands back when because there were lots of pre-teen girls around here. They seemed better than some other choices! And Motown was big in my teens. So, go ahead and mock me, I'm willing to take it...........Granny
