Come Out & Play: Out of Sync
Today’s Come Out & Play post spotlights Out of Sync, the memoir of Lance Bass.
I’ve already talked about Lance before, but hey - I’m an N’Sync fan so I’ll throw a little support his way.
Though I don’t plan on actually buying his book, I might read it should it somehow happen to fall in my lap. I’m sure growing up gay in a pop band isn’t the easiest thing to do, so it will be interesting to see what Lance has to say about that. As for the other stuff he talks about in the book, such as flying to space - I’m not really interested in that.
Since the book “came out,” Lance has been doing a whirlwind of press. I saw him on the front page of Yahoo a few days ago. Talk about publicity. Whomever is publicist is should get a raise.
As I was browsing YouTube for video coming out stories to post, I came across Lance’s 20/20 interview. It’s actually pretty good. Though it doesn’t show the whole interview, the clip offers a glimpse into what it was like for Lance being the token “gay boy” of N’Sync. Which makes me wonder … was one of the Backstreet Boys gay too?
Enjoy!
For those of you who live under a rock,
I haven’t heard or read any reviews about his performance as yet, so if you have one let me know. In my opinion - yes, Lance can sing, but no, he cannot act. He should not act, ever.
And, I still maintain that Bass’ book should have been called, “Fish Out of Water.” It makes much more sense to me!
