Ready or not, here they come! The New Kids On the Block are making a comeback after a 14-year hiatus. The group will release a new album this summer and go on tour this fall. How big is this? YouTube is already buzzing with old videos featuring Jordan’s nut-clenching falsetto voice. I’m cringing just thinking about it.
BUT…
35-year olds across the country are taking boxes out of storage and dusting off their favorite NKOTB pins, t-shirts, and varsity jackets!
To put this into context for the youngbucks reading this, NKOTB was ‘N Sync before ‘N Sync, Backstreet before Backstreet, the Jonas Brothers before the Jonas Brothers.
Honestly, it should be a good move for the group members. Of course, the New Kids – Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jonathan Knight, and Danny Wood – aren’t exactly “kids” anymore, either. The youngest of the bunch, McIntyre, is 35, and the oldest member, Jonathan Knight, is 39. But this tour will probably bring in some good revenue for the band, and should supplement the $50 that Jordan Knight received for appearing in “The Surreal Life.”
I wish them luck…and will now move aside to avoid the stampede of 35 year old teeny boppers.
Check the strip.

NKOTB, REALLY??? The wife wasted hella room on the DVR to tape their five minute stint on the Today show. Thank goodness we are out of the country when they go back on Today to perform. Mary Anne is still fighting Michael over who gets to wear all the old buttons and shirts they used to have.
Kudos from one braniac to another.
