One certainly does not need to be homophobic to dislike the oeuvre of *NSYNC. Alternatively, bluesdjben could, for all we know, be a) the world's biggest boy band fan, but with tastes rather running towards the Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, and Color Me Badd; b) gay himself; c) not one to readily call to mind the name of marine life that has such abused nomenclature that it refers to species of fish ranging all the hell over its entire order (I mean Jesus, it's not like we ran out of things to call fish); or d) any combination of a, b, and c. That being said, I'm going to go with my gut here and wildly speculate that he's just, um, not a fan. I'm as queer as a three-dollar bill (and clearly have some emotional issues surrounding binomials), and I'm afraid I'm not a fan either. (Sorry Rachel24601.)

You sound like you know his full nickname was "Yardbird," which was mine also in the Army.
