Lou Pearlman told “Behind The Music” (or some similar such program) an interesting story. He was running his (mostly fraudulent) “airline business” and “making good money” renting out jets to entertainers and high-net-worth types. One of his clients was NKOTB. He says he wondered to himself how a group of late-teens/early-twenties could afford his jets. So he decided to check out a NKOTB concert. He says that was the moment he decided he was in the wrong business and should be in the “boy band” business.

But — of course — that could all just be a steaming pile of horse shite.
