Do you want girls screaming at you wherever you go? Have a Svengali running your life? Well, as Simon Cowell says in the BBC’s Boybands Forever three-part TV series: “If you don’t want that, be an accountant! You can’t have it both ways!”
He is obviously talking about the boys who signed up to become the phenomenon of the 1990s – the boy band!
Copying the all-singing, all-dancing American acts like New Kids on the Block, in the UK we got East 17 and Take Take.
And, as the stories progress having an accountant who didn’t want the screaming may have saved many some real financial heartbreak!
