OMG! Could I be more excited? NKOTB performed a medley of their best songs on the Today Show. I did love me some Donnie. If you can ignore the pitchiness (okay, they're tone deaf) and the fact that they are now a 40 something boy band, it's pretty good.
Hold onto your bra straps: I met three of them, back when they really were NKOTB. I was a waitress at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida, and one of our regulars owned a small yacht that he chartered. The New Kids hired out the yacht one night after their concert, and the boat owner asked a couple of us waitresses if we wanted to work the boat. I signed up, so I got to meet, um, everyone but the Wahlberg boy and the younger Knight brother. They were very nice boys, accompanied by their mothers. No drinking or drugging - just three boys, their moms, a couple of male flacks, out on a nice nighttime cruise.
ReplyDeleteBra straps? On a Saturday morning? Surely you jest.
ReplyDeleteI bet the boys regret pissing their money away on yachts about now. Hence the "reunion" tour. Is that your only brush with "fame?" Me...I got nothing. Well, I did GO to a NKOTB concert...but didn't get close enough to even tell one kid from the next.
That was a little painful--I only made it halfway through. I never was a huge fan, I was more of a metal girl in 8th grade. :)
ReplyDeleteI did think the youngest one was cute.
