In the spring of 1983, my final semester of attending Nazareth College of Rochester, New York (my hometown), “Every Breath You Take” by The Police, the legendary rock band, was a hit on the airwaves. Of course, the “airwaves,” at the time, meant just listening to the radio and watching MTV. There were no smartphones, iPads, or even the internet. And desktop computers were just barely introduced to the mainstream, which today, enjoys streaming videos, movies, music, and TV shows on a whole other level. But in 1983, any song by “The Police” helped to define the era, as music and pop culture in general usually does so for any time period. “Pop culture” is really the “culture” of the moment. In looking back…way back…to Ancient Egypt, the Pyramids may be viewed as a “pop-culture” development of the day.

A year later, in the summer of 2003, the duo's relationship and Aguilera made sensational headlines. The "Toxic" singer had a salacious performance with Aguilera at the MTV VMAs, where they both shared on-stage kisses with Madonna. Timberlake was unknowingly thrown into the mix as cameras cut to his reaction while his ex-girlfriend kissed the "Material Girl" singer.
