An Artist In Retrospective with Noah Stafford: This Week-- Aaron Carter

This journey begins four years ago.  That day, I borrowed a copy of Aaron's Party (Come Get It) from my neighbor and ripped it onto my iPod.  Since then, I have amassed and curated what I believe to be a comprehensive knowledge of Aaron Carter history and lore.  When it came time to do my first profile of an artist, I could think of no one better than AC himself.  If you do not know Aaron Carter, then all the better for you.  I believe I have assembled a fine introduction to a life that tends to read like a Greek tragedy: aspiration, fame, glory, but ultimately corruption, gluttony, failure, and with it, humility.  I must warn readers that this might get really long, especially with the videos, which are kind of the point and I highly recommend you watch as they appear in the article.  Read on if you plan on sticking with me on my journey to the bitter end.  If you don’t, you're a pussy, and don't you forget it.  Pussy.
