one was more excited about the New Kids on the Block reunion tour than
we were until about five minutes ago. You see, we missed the concert
when we were young (we were too poor to go, it was very traumatic) and
we were obsessed — obsessed! — with NKOTB. We had NKOTB clothes, sheets,
and a board game if we remember correctly. We even had a poster of Joey
McIntyre over our bed. We wrote "I heart Emily" on his orange t-shirt
and would kiss him every night before we went to sleep (when we met
Joey in 2001 and told him that story he looked really, really scared).
Fast forward to nowadays — we need to
be completely honest here — we still have a NKOTB wall phone even though
we don't even have a land line. It's for show, for irony, if you will.
And that's kind-of what we thought the NKOTB reunion would be about. We
were looking forward to an updated Hangin' Tough and maybe even a grown-up version of Step-By-Step ("step six/you can suck my dick"), but no, Jordan, Jon, Joey, Donnie and Danny are for real.
