Over the years I've kept track of the whereabouts of the New Kids. I admit to skipping a class in college to watch Joey and Jordan's TRL music video debut. One of the top reasons I watched and loved Band of Brothers is because of Donnie and his, now receding, hairline. Jonathan and Danny basically faded into boy-band obscurity. I even braved Dancing with the Stars while Joey was a contestant. My friend Sandy and I were ESTATIC to find out that when we saw Wicked in New York Joey was male lead. After the show the cast held a charity auction. Several audience members pooled their money together and for 5,000 Joey did a NKOTB dance. It's probably bad manners, but I cheered like an eleven year-old girl back at the Marriott Center.
Needless to say I'm excited about their reunion. Aaron thinks it's silly, but I told him that if they tour anywhere in this region I am going to be in attendance. Here's a look at the boys then and now.

haaa haaa, I can't stop laughing, I must of missed the new kids on the block addiction era but those guys were so funny looking. . . and the sad part is time really hasn't helped for most of them, hmm I know I'm cruel. My first concert was Neil Diamond so don't sweat it ;)!
I love Neil too! I'd go to his concert in a heartbeat. Aaron is so ashamed of me. But as for NKOTB...I still think Joey is the best looking...quite dapper.
I loved New Kids on the Block! I still own and wear a shirt with their picture on it! I'll have to show you some time.
That's wonderful. I don't think I was a NKOTB fan, but only because my older brother made fun of them, which made them ridiculous in my eyes. But that's good that your not a closet fan anymore. I like Neil too, by the way. My dad made us listen to Neil on camping trips. Brings back memories.
