I just heard Kevin on the radio and I typed out the transcript for my newsletter so I thought about sending it here. from The Pumpkin Patch- a Kevin Newsletter Paul: "Cubby" Bryant- Kevin....!! Kevin: What's up? Paul: Kevin...!! Kevin: Hey, hey! Paul: What are you doing, Kevin from the Backstreet Boys? Kevin: If you make it, he will call Paul: You know, I've been telling people you were gonna call since like 4:15 and I know that's a risky thing to do, you shouldn't do it in this business. You could get busy and not call, right? Kevin: Well, I am about running around but I haven't forgotten about ya! Paul: I love ya! Kevin: I wasn't gonna leave ya hanging! Paul: Kevin Richardson, see, we go way back, we bonded back in May when we did that big national live, ya know, radio show- Kevin: Live thing Paul: Yeah, yeah, where are you now? Kevin: I'm actually at Salt Lake City, Utah. Paul: Ahh, you doing some skiing?, nah it's too early for that probably. Kevin: Actually, they're getting dumped on right now in the mountains so maybe tomorrow I can go snowboarding. Paul: Ah, you might get snowed in! Kevin: Well, actually down here in the valley it's raining but up in the mountains, that's about 10, 000- 12, 000 feet, it's snowing. Hopefully, maybe they'll get some snow out there and I can go snowboarding. Paul: I don't know if you heard the news or not, that when you were here back in September doing all your shows at Continental Arenas and what have you, it's been a month since the concert, just about a month and there's still 8 girls passed out at the Continental Airlines Arenas. (JOKING!) Kevin: What?!? Paul: Yeah, they're playing hockey, they're in the way.... (Kevin laughs) Paul: They got pre-season Nets going- Kevin: No Way! Paul: They can't get them off the floor! They're still trying to throw water on them! What does it feel like, Kevin, to have that effect on the ladies? Kevin: It's...incredibly flattering, you just think to yourself and ask yourself why do they react like this? Paul: Why? What do ya think? You write hit songs and you're good looking! That's why! (Kevin laughs, hehehe) Paul: You know, a couple of people called me before you called. Kevin: Uh huh. Paul: Stephanie from Lond Island, she was wondering, uh, what do you consider a perfect fan? Kevin: (long pause) Wow. Paul: Good question, I can't think of questions like that. Kevin: I don't know man, we've had so many incredible experiences when we've met fans, from backstage, from meet and greets and stuff. Gee, that's a hard one, I think a fan that can understand that we are human beings, and we are just like everybody else. We have, you know, we got our feelings hurt, we cry, we love, you know, we're just human beings. Somebody that, like a lot of fans get upset sometimes or frustrated when they meet us or see us or whatever and they can't spend as much time as they want to, and it's hard to be able to accommodate everybody, I don't know. Paul: If you just tuned in, we're talking to Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys! You know, I could probably answer that question for you, what would you consider a perfect fan? A perfect fan is someone who buys all the CDs, the posters, the t-shirts and key chains. Kevin: Hahahaha Paul: Right? Am I right? Carla, from the Bronx, she wants to know how did you spend your birthday? It was like, uh October 3rd, wasn't it? Kevin: Yes it was. We had actually had about 4 days off. Paul: Right Kevin: Around that time, I went to, up in the Berkshears in Massachusetss, in the mountains, the leaves were changing and I went up there with a romantic friend of mine, lady friend of mine and we just had a good time together. Spent some time up in the mountains, went canoeing, hiking, just chilled. Paul: Well, you know, you better be careful when you go canoeing...like any deliverance action going on. (Kevin laughs) You gotta be careful! Stephanie from New City, New York, have you ever sung to a girlfriend? Kevin: Yes. Paul: Do you get like into it? You don't pull out the amps and the microphone and band or anything like that. Kevin: No...well, on one of my first dates with my girlfried that i have now, I've known her for a long time but we've been on and off the rocks for the past couple of years, but o one of our first dates, I took her to a hotel where they had a piano. We had some after dinner drinks and i just sat dow and began playing for her and started singing to her. This was before we were singed to a record label or anything. Paul: So, basically you take her to a lobby of Marriot and you're fine, you got, the peanuts and the piano. Kevin: Exactly! Paul: That's nice! Kevin: Hahaha Paul: Any New Year's Eve plans Kevin from the Backstreet Boys? Kevin: Um, well, Michael Jackson just cancelled 2 dates that he had. He was gonna play in Hawaii and Austrailia and there's been, uh, there's a possible offer for to pick those shows. Paul: Now, are you afraid of this Y2K thing? Do you wanna be flying? Kevin: I'm a little leery. Paul: Right Kevin: We would have to do all kinda of double checking and everything and make sure everything is safe. I don't know, we'll see what happens if they're handling the business on that end. If everything is okay, it's just really expensive to take our stage from one place to another and there's no way we can do that in 1 night so we're gonna have to duplicate our stage in 2 places and we don't know if we can do that so we'll see what happens if we can do that. Paul: "Larger Than Life" is far, far from being over, as a matter of fact, that record is still building here are z100! Kevin: Is it? Paul: It's still huge, we have to look ahead, cause you know we do kinda want to get an idea. Kevin: I'm ready for another one myself. Paul: Okay, what is the next single? Kevin: The next single is going to be "Show Me The Meaning..." Paul: Oh! I love that song! That got a big reaction back in May when we played it off the album. Kevin: Yeah, that's one of my favorites. That one and "Don't Wanna Lose You Now" are my favorites but "Show Me The Meaning..." is gonna be the next single. We excited about that one. Paul: By the way, you probably have no clue about this but I want to say thank you. You know you made me a part of your video. Kevin: (Long pause) Oh, we did? Paul: In the very beginning of "Larger Than Life" where the spaceship is coming in. Kevin: Uh huh Paul: And all those voices are coming through Kevin: Uh huh Paul: That's my voice and you used it and I haven't seen a check coming through! Kevin: Excellent! Oh, well we'll have to get a residual check back to you then, huh? Paul: Just kidding. Kevin: Hahahaha Paul: A couple more questios and we'll let you go. We had Roseanne from Cliffside Park, New Jeresy, she was wondering, you have a home video coming out and what does that consist of? Concert footage or what? Kevin: We do have a homevideo coming out?? Paul: Is it like behind the scenes stuff or is it like concert footage or tell me. Kevin: That's news to me. Paul: Really? Kevin: That's news to my ears. Paul: Somebody said that in November you have a homevideo coming out. Kevin: Well, you know our record company, they like to make, they like to think they are gonna do things all the time without talking to us so I'm gona have to call up Jive and see what's going on with that. Paul: Okay, well do you know this? You're a nominee for the Sexiest Man Alive, People Magazine! Kevin: What?! Paul: Yea, good old Anne Marie from Staten Island, a big fan of yours said that, you're supposedly a nominee for sexiest man alive from People Magazine. Kevin: Actually, I had heard about that, very flattered! Paul: And finally before I let you go, World Series, did you watch it? Kevin: Yes I did. Paul: C'mon! Give some props to the New York Yankees. Kevin: Heck yea! Man, go yankees! They're the untouchables! Paul: Kevin, from the Baclstreet Boys, thank you for calling! I know you just came but is there gonna be another tour? Kevin: Um, in the spring time, we're probably gonna do another leg cause there still a lot of areas that we didn't get to on this tour, so we're definitely gonna swing by New York and some spots in Canada that we didn't hit and some places like Arkanasas and some places in Texas. Paul: You don't go to Arkanasa for a reason. Kevin: Oh, sure you do! It's not that bad down there! Paul: Yeeeeeeeeeeeha!!!!! (like a cowboy!) Kevin: Yeeeeeehaaa!!!!!(like a cowboy but so so cute!!!) ("Larger Than Life" comes on) Paul: You gotta do different versions of "Larger Than Life" right? You gotta be like all country. Kevin: We're gonna do the country western version! Paul: Hey Kevin, thank you for calling. Kevin: Thank you Cubby Paul: Kevin of the Backstreet Boys, Live on Z100! fades out to "Larger Than Life" Kevin on Z100 Howie on 102.7 KIIS FM Brian on 106.1 KISS FM Howie on 102.7 KIIS FM From: MK3RoSe@aol.com Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 9:28 PM Around 5:40 PT (10/28/99), I was switching around radio stations and lo and behold, right when I turn to 102.7, the afternoon DJ announces that he has Howie on the line, so I listened in. Howie said that they were in Salt Lake City, UT, and that there was nothing to do compared to L.A. He said that they didn't expect Millennium to do so well and how they totally expected the sophomore slump to hit them. The DJ then asked if they have come across stalkers before and Howie, more or less, avoided that question but talked about how his Mom is so nice that when fans come to his house, she lets them in and leads a tour. They got on the subject of money, and the DJ asked what the first thing Howie bought. He said he bought centralized air since his house is older. He continued on that last year he bought a car. He always loved corvettes and his favorite color is purple, so he got a purple corvette. He hoped that the purple wasn't some "Barney, Barbie Doll purple" and when it came, he was relieved that it was a dark, metallic purple that looked almost black at night. Some guy asked him what song he sang when he was a little boy, and Howie said that his parents told him he used to sing "Babyface" but he can't remember the words now. He said his favorite songs off Millennium were Spanish Eyes, Show Me The Meaning, and Don't Want You Back. The DJ complimented the concert and Howie said they were probably going to release SMTM around Christmas time. After they finish the US tour, they're going to have about a month and a half off in which all of them might pursue something else, but THEY WON'T BREAK UP or do anything that might interefere with Backstreet. The DJ asked about the whole label ordeal, and Howie said that "you could be doing show, but your business could walk out right behind you. That's why it's show business." They both avoided any names of bands or labels and compared their situation to a basketball agent having one great client, but then getting a couple more great players and not being able to pay the same attention to the first client. Howie said that a reason they're worrying about this is because they might have a great idea, but the label might think it would go great with the other similar band as well. That was pretty much it, and they played IWITW right after Howie got off the phone. This wasn't in order, but it's as comprehensive as I remember. Kevin on Z100 Howie on 102.7 KIIS FM Brian on 106.1 KISS FM Brian on 106.1 KISS FM From: Karen Searcy [ksearcy@htcomp.net] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 7:27 PM Hi, Just this afternoon I was listening to the radio when my local radio stations DJ's said they had Brian on the phone, sure enough they did.

Brian: hehehe.. Hollywood: what would he be doing that that would actually happen? Brian: we actually have flying rigs, that we fly in over the audience, to the star wars soundtrack, that's how we get to the stage cause we're performing in the round, so we're in the middle, but uh.. we have these outfits that aren't a very giving material apparently (laughs), I think one of Howie's zippers came down and he got caught on the little flying rig the next thing ya know he was mooning everybody. Domino: That was probably one of the bigger applauses y'all got... Brian: oh yeah Domino: Howie D's butt... Hollywood: then someone breaks out, lets do that every show Howie...

Hollywood: Hey, Let's talk about that CD Millennium it's doin great!! Brian: that's what we were just talking about a couple of weeks ago amongst the fellas, about how we were kind of nervous and scared about the sophmore slump, but we knew some of the strong tracks on the album that we were looking forward to releasing to the public, once it hit, we owe a lot of credit to our management as well, our new management, The Firm our new management based out of Los Angeles. Domino: I promise you this the sound is definitely different, if everybody was just a fan of the old backstreet boys when they got to hear some ot the new stuff, I guaruntee they were impressed ya know what I mean... Brian: We hope so, we just try to make credible music, to us as well as everybody else. Domino: well, listen we have nothing but love for you guys and we've been so lookin' for you guys to come out here cuz we get calls everyday, hey are you giving away the tickets yet. We have personally just had to spend just multitudes of money sending people all over the country to see you guys, because you haven't been here yet.. Brian: Aw, man Domino: Get here and uh, looking forward to see y'all and the CD is just kicking butt, I get to play the perfect fan now and then.. For some people who want to hear a song for their mom, it's just one of those kinds of songs that just makes the hair on your arms stand up, Brian: Well, thank ya man that's a big complement Domino: That's your baby right there isn't it.. Brian: Yeah Yeah, that's the one I wrote and produced. Domino: I get to slide that in, people do call for it, as soon as they got the CD they were all over it, they were like hey man I wanna dedicate a song to my mom, I'm like "Let me guess", The Perfect Fan and their like yeah, hey that's a big part of it... Brian: yeah, that's awesome... How many tickets are you guys giving away actually? Domino: I have no idea, we've been giving away tickets to shows like out of town, so we haven't had a chance to give away a lot of tickets , it's been more like the airfare the hotel, etc. Hollywood: Give away like the CD and Tour T-Shirt and then qualify them for the Grand Prize which would be their choice of cities they want to see you guys... Brian: I was gonna say is um.. since you all have been really nice to us, we've got an alotted number of tickets individually for us guys, and I would be willing to break you all off a couple if you wanted to do some giveaways.... or something to the station Domino: That would be awesome cause some of the tickets they get for the fellas are kinda good,like kinda close you know what I mean...
