Because in my job at the University Press of Florida I'm supposed to be cultivating books on regional topics, and far as music goes, the O-Town hits factory is about as big as it gets, right? (Even though the boy band phenomenon seems to be more-or-less over. And I'll admit I'm ignoring South Florida, which I've never been to and which is completely opaque to me.)
So yeah, any takers?

A book collaboration on this between Frank Kogan, Tim Finney and O'so Krispie would rule.

Instead, tell the Click Five to jump into Boston Harbor and drown.

Just make to sure to write the Creed are from Orlando. Tallahassee's too embarrassed to take responsibility for having promoted that Christianised post-grunge watered-down behemoth in the first place.

Commission a book on death metal, dude. A lot of the classics originated in Florida.

Good point about death metal, although it may be slightly harder to convince my bosses to sign off on that book. Know anybody who'd write it?

Only true fans call them "the Creed".But the most dedicated call them "Scott's Creed".

capri_emanuelle asks: Hello, Lou :-) How do you like the movie business?
Lou Pearlman: The movie business is alot of fun and alot of work. We just complete filming "Jack of All Trades" starring Paul Sorvino, Tylo, Jessica Wesson Zachary Ty Bryant Daniel Fischel, and cameos by Brittany Spears, NSYNC, LFO, Take 5, Phoenix Stone, CNote, One Eyed Jack, Kenny Rogers, KC and others.
TL_Emily asks: Why did you say NSYNC won't exist and they can be replaced?
Lou Pearlman: I never said that, that is a misstatement by media sources. I love NSYNC, in fact NSYNC and I are very upset about the magnitude of improper press coverage NSYNC is just trying to renegotiate their record distribution deal. The main situation is between BMG (RCA) and Zomba (Jive) We hope it will all be resolved soon. Nobody wins if we don't continue selling records.
TL_Emily asks: Why do you want to take away NSYNC's name?
Lou Pearlman: We would never take away NSYNC's name. That is not true. We never said that. In fact, NSYNC is continuing to tour and make up lost concert dates. We have an agreement to continue to tour and sell merchandise as we always have. The only problem is regarding records sales as I previously just mentioned. We are hoping that this is resolved as soon as possible so that we may release the next NSYNC album. NSYNC has protected me in this deal as well as I them. We are just trying to figure out the legal stuff that unfortunately were all caught in the middle of.
janjan25 asks: Mr. Pearlman, do you think there would be a market for a polka remix band? (seriously) Jana and Lisa
Lou Pearlman: You'd never know, I'm sure their probably could be...keep up the good work.

(I'd think a death metal book would sell better than a Lou Pearlman book. Better even than a Lou Pearlman book about polka.)

Louis J. Pearlman's musical empire in Orlando has continued to expand with the creation of an entertainment complex that features a new state-of-the-art recording studio. Trans Continental Studios has been utilized by in-house artists and also by music industry stars such as Creed, Matchbox 20, Britney Spears and Alicia Keys to name a few. In addition, Pearlman also recently produced "Longshot," a full length motion picture featuring some of today's hottest recording stars.
And, as if being a music mogul wasn't enough for Pearlman, he has also added author to his resume with the release of his book, Bands, Brands and Billions, sure to become a best-seller. Louis J. Pearlman’s newest venture, Talent Rock, is the premier talent scouting company online. This should provide even more talent for Pearlman to build into the next big thing! The Trans Continental Group is also in the process of reviving downtown Orlando. The landmark Church Street Station is due to be injected with new life starting in the fall of 2005. Visitors can expect the ultimate experience in dining and night-life. Some of the new projects include an exclusive lounge Exchange Lounge, upscale restaurant Pearl Steakhouse and #1 rated casual restaurant NYPD Pizza.
