When I was a silly teenager I loathed and HATED Take That with all my might. When Robbie Williams split, I was very gleeful and when then Take That split I jumped for joy

Yeah, I know. It's pretty ridiculous! I don't remember if ppl killed themselves when Michael Jackson died, but I know people killed themselves 'cause of Avatar - they were so bummed over not to be able to live on Pandora that they just... killed themselves... and this was maybe a month after it was released *shakes head*
Whaaaat? That's insanity! I can understand killing yourself over Michael Jackson, a celebrity death is a bit different to a band splitting up, but AVATAR?! Jesus. These people need to learn to write, or go to Second Life or cosplay or SOMETHING. I really must see this movie. I don't understand the fuss about it.
I started reading British magazines around the time Take That made it big for the first time and soon I knew way too much about the band. At the time I was pretty ambivalent about their music. When it came to British boybands of that time, I prefered East 17 (LOL). But somehow I ended up with a great appreciation for Take That and am actually a huge fan now as I own both the albums they have done after their reunion, Gary Barlow's autobiography, a documentary about them, Take That SingStar game and so on. And I couldn't be happier about Robbie reuniting with them.
Well, back in '93 -'94, Take That always made it appear like they had no time for girls at all (probably wise since their fans were very cray cray) but Gary says in his autobiography that they were total sluts. I also found the chapters about Gary's life after the band broke up, interesting.
I always forget how people in the U.S don't generally know Take That :P
It's not weird you should know the last song since that was in Stardust (if you've seen that one)... but I don't think Take That have ever released a song in the U.S so I don't know why you know these songs hhahaha :D
Lol I love the old schoolpix. I had most of them on my walls lol. I thought they were cute back then, but man, they got so gorgeous the older they got and I fear a younger me wouldn't have appreciated them now, as much as I do.
As you know, this reunion means the world to me and if I don't get tickets to the tour I will ... well, I won't be commiting suicide put it that way hahaha
