"The only reason people go to bars is to get drunk and have sex. To me, bars are what hell is like." -- Clay Aiken

Well, it's not like anyone will ever get laid, by listening to his music, and it SURE ruins a decent buzz!! Kinda makes you wonder how Achin' ever gets laid, considering that, he has ever had that pleasure!

Interesting, Mark, did you personally check his virgin status? Or perhaps making anyone feel lower than you makes your sad existence better?

Actually, this quote was written in his book from back in 2004.
And wow, just because someone ISN'T a womanizing asshole, doesn't mean he's gay. Why don't you pay attention to what actually matters in the world instead of trailing a person to get an answer to an obsessive question that he's already answered?

as always, people who don't follow the norm are considered homosexuals, when everyone knows that bars are very often used for exactly those two things alone. I will defend him from the homophobes, but what the moron fails to acknowledge is that bars are there for other things too, he should try to make some friends, then bars and getting drunk wouldn't be so bad!

Though advanced in years compared to this fellow, I have to agree with his summary. Came to that conclusion many years ago. Waking to empty bottles, to the stench of too many cigarettes hanging in the air, an unconcious farting and snoring woman tangled in the sheets next to me that seemed the very essence of beauty and desire only some hours before and feeling the dull ache in my heart...yes, another drunken conquest won, but at a cost.
I used to do lights and sound (for bands) at bars and clubs and so forth. Ever been there when the neon is turned off, the over-head lights turned on, glaring, stark light falling on the interior of the most extravagant bar? The illusion is shattered, the fraud exposed. It is a hellish experience to see the sharp edges of the details of a bar in full light.

He's only saying that because if he actually went to a bar, he'd probably get beat up

Well said, Oliver! I agree with you and Clay.

I disagree that people only go to bars to get drunk and have sex. I frequent bars for the purpose of singing for karaoke. I don't get drunk and I'm still a virgin. I enjoy drinking alcohol, but I limit myself to a couple drinks and then I quit. While I respect Mr. Aiken for his clean living and his wonderful skills as a singer, I am disappointed that he would generalize something in such a negative manner.
