A Boy Band Returns

So I saw on the news this morning that  The New Kids on the Block are coming back with a brand new album! 

For those of you, like me, who were in middle school during the 80's this is big news! To say I was crazy about the The New Kids on the Block back then would be an understatement!

My favorite was Joey--my sister's favorite Donny--and I remember giving her a HUGE Donny pin for her birthday one year! I also remember getting together with my cousins and watching their Hangin' Tough tour video! And I hate to admit this-- because it makes me soud like such a dork!!--but I even daydreamed that if I wrote a really good song and sent it to them and they liked it they would invite me to come on tour with them! haha 11 year old girls have such an imagination!!

When I went home this past Christmas my sister and I were looking through our old records and I even found my New Kids on The Block Christmas album!!  We talked about how funny it was that we were so in love with them and laughed about the whole craze in general.

So will I actually buy their new cd? Likely not. But hearing that they're back together has certainly brought up some great memories of back in the day!

Anyone else have good memories about NKTB? Or any other boy band? Fill me in!

Posted by: Jon My sister was one of those that LOVED New Kids on the Block, when they first came out. If you think of it we are all that way in one way or another, it is human of us to do that. I am sure there are several that would say the same about me.

Yes Jennifer, you are a dork. My brother would give me NKOTB stuff in front of all my friends so they would make fun of me. I would try to tell them that I had no love for The New Kids but my brother would insist that I had all their posters, t-shirts, fanzines, buttons, and dolls. My friends would laugh at me and my brother never fessed up. That is one of the many traumatic childhood experiences that made me what I am today, a news photographer.
