LFO member Brad Fischetti is being canceled for still performing “Summer Girls” despite it mentioning A&F
Brad Fischetti, the last living member of LFO, isn't going to stop playing one of the band's hits even though its lyrics refer to now-canceled Abercrombie & Fitch, which was roasted in Netflix's latest doc ... and it's all about honoring his late bandmates.
Brad tells us he'll continue to perform the 1999 hit "Summer Girls" at his concerts ... as you'll recall, the chorus to LFO's song goes, "I like girls that wear Abercrombie & Fitch ... I'd take her if I had one wish."
A&F's shady work behind the scenes has recently been exposed by Netflix's docufilm, "White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch" ... which features former employees revealing a toxic workplace that emphasized thin, white beautiful people as their vision of "All-American."
Brad's goal with anything he does with the band is to honor his lifelong friends and band members Devin Lima and Rich Cronin.
TMZ broke both stories ... the other two members of LFO both passed away from battles with leukemia - Rich Cronin in 2010 and Devin Lima in 2018. Brad, the last remaining member, has done his best to keep their memory alive.
Brad's currently on a tour called "POP 2000 TOUR" along with blasts from the past like O-Town, Ryan Cabrera, and Chris Kirkpatrick from NSYNC. He sees no reason to cut the song from his lineup because of a brand reference.

No one is talking about this. TMZ's tweeted about it twice and received less than 60 likes total from both tweets. No one cares. No one has been "cancelled."

What's wrong with being thin, white and beautiful?

I didn't much care for their music, but LFO's late, great Rich Cronin gave a funny interview to Howard Stern before he died. Hollywood is a fucked up town and Jennifer Love Hewitt is a fucking weirdo. Rich had already been punked out of most of his cash and had been battling cancer. Guess he figured he had nothing to lose when he started dropping bombs here.

That sounded much better than morbidly obese, short, ugly slobs, though. Those were the days when the Americans were svelte and pretty.

Rich Cronin was a beautiful man before he got sick. Didn't care much for his music but he was really nice to look at.

R3, "Girl on TV" (about the previously mentioned Hewitt) was their other hit. It peaked at #10.

Cronin was cute. Beautiful? We need to stop giving a strong word like that to anyone who is decent.
