Considering how much raw energy, irrepressible charisma, and star power flows from Justin Bieber’s very being—the young man, driven on by this animating fire, can barely sit still; he practices dance routines compulsively during moments of downtime—it’s a good thing for him that he became a worldwide celebrity, otherwise I’m almost certain he would have been a criminal. It’s easy enough to imagine him, stripped of his God-given right to the stage, cooking crystal meth in his bathtub or trying to bite off some unsuspecting elderly man’s face while high on the new designer drug “bath salts.”

not2h8: This article is of very poor quality to be the only link.

Is that all there is to that? It seemed to end somewhat abruptly. "Baby, baby, baby / Oh.%"

An article from The Paris Review! I settled in to read and ... oh, it's over. Maybe it wasn't the only link? No, it was the only link.

Sadly, George Plimpton never finished his "my time as Justin Bieber" book.

I see young girls of all races, creeds, and classes wearing Bieberbilia on the street. Some of them as old as in their late teens. The guy's appeal is bizarrely broad.
