No Authority: An Unauthorized Biography

And they have a pretty cool boss (Michael Jackson). Plus, with their sweet, slammin' music and super-hot good looks, these boys have throngs of screaming girls chasing them everywhere they go. Not bad for a boy band of four teenagers from Cali! Now find out what goes on off-state and behind the scenes, their plans for the future, their favorite things to do, and the kind of girls they think are fine!
