Are You In Love?

Rock stars, dating experts, and cartoon characters talk about Valentine's Day

What is your favorite romantic song and/or movie? My favorite romantic song is the first three seconds of the Mortal Kombattheme song when that guy yells, "Mortal Kombat!" My favorite romantic movie is the last three seconds of the music video for that song. Spoiler alert: He yells it again.

What was the most romantic gift you ever gave or received? My high school girlfriend gave me the gift of sight, which made things pretty awkward because I only got her a crappy keychain. And I wasn't blind anymore, so I realized she was just a creepy old dude who taught "science" but why would a science teacher wear a janitor's uniform? Ugh, don't get me started.

Are you in love right now? Why don't you ask her? (I'm pointing to a life-size poster of Michelle Kwan.)


Rob Dubbin
Improv actor, 'Dwayne's Guest House'

Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes. But I also believe in a closer look at second sight and reconsidering earlier declarations of love at third sight. By thirtieth sight or so I've moved out of her place and we've both gotten haircuts.

What is your favorite romantic song and/or movie? The Who's "Quadrophenia." Both the song and the movie.

What was the most romantic gift you ever gave or received? Long story short, a sweater.

Are you in love right now? There's a very special lady out there—you know who you are—who'll be very upset if I answer anything but yes. Sadly my answer is no. I'm sorry you had to hear this way.


Yung Dame
MC, Wylde Bunch

Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes. Love at first sight was my girl now. Soon as I saw her, knew I had to have her. She had fiery red hair and a fiery attitude to match, but me being the man that I am, I broke the walls down and got to the real nice side. I'm pretty good at that!

What is your favorite romantic song and/or movie? Song, Mint Condition's "If U Love Me." Favorite movie, The Notebook—yeah, right. It'sCasanova! Ha.

What was the most romantic gift you ever gave or received? Most romantic gift I ever gave, I would have to say, was the five senses one Valentine's. Something for the taste: I cooked. Something for the ears: Made a lovely mix CD. Something for the eyes: Rented a couple movies. Something for the touch: a massage and bath. For smell: some nice scented candles.

Are you in love right now? Yes.


Eddie Reyes
Guitarist, Taking Back Sunday

Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes. I married her.

What is your favorite romantic song and/or movie? Any Sade song, and "Love Song" by the Cure was my wedding song.

What was the most romantic gift you ever gave or received? Our soon-to-be-born daughter Mazzy Moon.

Are you in love right now?Oh, yes. I have two wonderful women in my life now, my wife and my daughter.


Jordan Knight
New Kids on the Block

Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes.

What is your favorite romantic song and/ or movie? "Always and Forever" by Luther Vandross.

What was the most romantic gift you ever gave or received? Simple things like a card every once in a while to show that special person they are on your mind; keep the romance going all year long.

Are you in love right now? Yes, very much so.
