As if there weren't days where I feel old . . .

. . . there comes a rumor that New Kids on the Block might be getting back together.

The New Kids. NKOTB. Yes, I listened to them. Yes, I went to one of their concerts. Yes, I had a crush on Jordan.

Them were the days:




And today:



Joey: Still a baby face but actually DID grow up. Had my doubts in '88. Figured he'd always look 12.

Jon: Now YOU are the hot Knight.

Donnie: You weren't tough then, and you ain't tough now. How's it feel that your brother is more famous than you?

Jordan: Still cute, but not as much.

Danny: You did and still do look like you work out 50 hours a day.


They were my generation's Backstreet Boys. We thought they were so cute and had the best moves. They WERE cute, but best moves? Mmmmmmmm . . . probably not so much:

And I thought I was the only admitting NK0TB fan! I did all of the same stuff that you did way back in the good ol' days. I listened to them all of the time (I think I drove my parents crazy with this one). I collected a lot of their memorabilia, but unfortunately I cannot find any of it. I also attended one of their concerts (I still have the ticket stub), and yes I too had a major crush on Jordan Knight!

I didn't collect a bunch of their stuff, but I remember very well going to the concert. Stacy's best friend bought three tickets, and my mom drove us to the Colisseum. Gina went to the same concert, and she even rented binoculars so she could see Donnie's "treasure trail."

Boy, were we all teen stupid or what? :-)
