Somewhere in Middle America

they had the right stuff

I am so getting tickets to their reunion tour.

I missed them live the first time around (my parents, who must not have loved me as much as I thought, never took me to one of their concerts), and I’ll be damned if I miss them now, 20 years later.

My NKOTB history:

  • Donnie was my favorite, followed by Jordan. I never had a crush on Joey like so many other girls. I thought he was too young. (A funny observation coming from a 9-year-old.)
  • In 4th grade I choreographed a gymnastics routine to “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” and performed it for my elementary school.
  • My childhood friend Meredith and I liked to pose in front of a life-size poster of the group that hung on the back of the door and take photos of ourselves posing with my pink and purple Le Clic camera.
  • I had their albums New Kids on the Block, Hangin’ Tough, Step by Step and Merry, Merry Christmas, which was probably the only Christmas album I ever owned.
  • I can remember watching their Saturday morning cartoon, which premiered on September 8, 1990 and lasted about a year.
