"What Timbaland says he wants to do is create 'a new genre of music,' A-pop, artificial pop. It sounds like a bunch of bullshit. ... I'd say to a young person, if they want to hear a female voice shouting invective, check out the new Cardi B. It's pretty good." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be this much fun
Oh, Heaven

LOL. I realize this is a woman's fantasy fictional man, but you reminded me dreamboat Conrad in The Summer I Turned Pretty collected stamps, had "an obsession with vintage encyclopedias," & was moderator for a Ring-bearer subreddit.
