The rumors are true: The 80's boy band New Kids On The Block have reunited. My junior year of high school began in 1989, and as a member of the dance team (SHUT UP) I remember revving up the pep rally with "Hangin' Tough." The girls in my class all knew each NKOTB by first name. We oohed over their soprano-like voices, fawned over their cover albums, and looked to them for what styles we should expect our boyfirends to be sporting. And you thought rat tails would go out of style.
But, wait. Dear Readers, 1989 was - gasp! - almost twenty years ago! Which means the same remark I made upon seeing my high school best friend's Christmas card photo this year (Holy Moses, she looks old) pretty much sums up my reaction of the NKOTB's current press photo. Amazing what decades out of the limelight can do for an image. If someone can tell me which one of those geezers actually is Jordan Knight, I will give you a Rubik's cube.
