Attention Gay Men & Women Over Thirty! NKOTB on the Today Show!


When I was fifteen, my best friend and I butchered "I'll Be Loving You" into "We'll Be Loving Dad" in order to persuade my father to buy us New Kids on the Block tickets. We sang on the top steps of the fountain in a mall. Teenage girls do not publicly humilate themselves in mall without a good reason - and mine was Jonathan Knight. Dreamy.


Well, they're back, and Friday they do a little public humiliation of themselves on the Today Show.... It's gonna be glorious. First of all, they do have a new single, "Summertime", which isn't terrible if you're fifteen. I'm not anymore, but who cares - this will be the first time I've DVR'd the Today Show since Katie had a colonoscopy.

The best part about a TV moment like this is either a) they'll be terrible and you get to see the carnage or b) they'll be awesome and you get to watch the triumphant return of those dance moves. This is a win win.

Set your Tivo/DVR the Today Show right now. Go.

NKOTB goes on tour with people half their age this summer (actually less than half their age) as they join Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. I'm convinced they got put on the bill to entertain the parents and babysitters who are forced to attend the show. Which is awesome. Someone in the audience needs to know all the words to "Please Don't Go Girl" and "Step by Step".
