*checks* Good GOD, folks, what about this bit:
"Let me tell you, despite being one of the lone males in a sea of tens of thousands of females, what stunned me is nobody was radiating any sexuality, nobody was dressed like a slut, nobody was making eyes trying to get ahead. This was more like puppy love, even if dirty old men would say some of these girls were fully grown."

But 5SOS were not the Beatles. That’s the problem with both the youngsters and the oldsters, there’s nothing new. That’s why there’s hysteria for the iPhone 6 and shrugs for so much music. So you can replicate what’s been done before…once upon a time music was about pushing the envelope! There was no Jethro Tull before Jethro Tull, never mind the Ramones!

I love this weird combination of things:
And sure, Harry Styles is an international icon…But what did impress me about Harry was how nonchalant he was. Just before he went on he was offering us cupcakes. Isn’t he supposed to be in his dressing room, angsting away?Cynics might say it’s because he doesn’t play an instrument.But that’s part of the act’s success. That it’s kind of a lark. And they and the audience are all in it together.And the production was spectacular. And the girls knew every word and sang them. And if you’re somebody who lives in Ferrari/gated community culture you’d be completely flummoxed. As you would be if you’re into retro vinyl, if you haunt club gigs, if you listen to people with bad voices sing their plaintive songs and then bitch that they can’t make any money.

And in the late eighties, fresh-faced Def Leppard was at the peak, they were the apotheosis, the biggest rock band in the world, and they partook of all the warm and moist goodness.

weird ("weird") how most of the 'barely pubescent' mentions are from the last year and change
here's the earliest one, from 2005Yup, MTV wasn’t caught flat-footed. They INTENTIONALLY aired lame Live 8 coverage, carefully calculated to keep the barely pubescent at best viewer tuned in. Hell, old farts playing decades old music, that’s ratings DEATH!

The free music, the tape trading? That’s been overstated. Most Dead fans had never heard a live cassette.

How successful would ecstasy be at $125 a hit. Imagine if a puff of marijuana cost $75. You’d still want to get high. But it would be a rare event, and you’d expect to see skyrockets, you’d expect to have the time of your life. Ergo all the dancing and pyrotechnics on today’s stages.

She did a side project called Evelyn Evelyn where she and some dude I can't remember pretended to be conjoined twins
One of the merchandise items for this side project, according to that sentence, is rebranded Twix bars
I mean, even as a joke that us ugggggggh but I am about 80% certain she actually bought Twix bars with Evelyn Evelyn branding on them to sell at her show
