*Group Thoughts* Kevin Richardson: On AJs Messy Tendencies: "If you walk into AJs room, it's like a suitcase exploded!" On AJ: "He's kind of a combination of all of us. He's a flirt.

Last tour, he put a sock filled with different odds and ends that really stank behind the drums, and during the show, it started smelling real bad. Revenge is being plotted as we speak."

How does he measure up? Well, Capricorns are loyal, dependable, and meticulous. They have a keen eye for detail and are determined to succeed in everything they do. They are thoughtful, direct, and totally patient with others. Although they rarely challenge authority, Capricorns are constant in their affections and work habits, shouldering a sense of responsibility. They enjoy society and community and often have a strong influence over politics. AJ is a true Capricorn! He is totally loyal to his fellow BSB members and takes his job ver seriously.

AJ loves to talk so much (especially on the phone) that the other BSB members don't want to share a room with him on tour.
