Boredom?

NKOTB is back on the block. No, this is not a joke.

If the acronym isn't instantly recognizable, let me refresh your memory. Joey, Jordan, Donnie, Jonathan, and Danny. These five men were once young attractive members of the hottest band in America. The "music" they regergitated from british rock had absolutly no lyrical value, but wasn't too painful to watch them lip -sync. Thier debut stage performance has yet to be announced, but i'm betting there will be more middle-aged women at the ticket window than sixteen year-old girls at a Hannah Montana concert.

The fan base is there. The band has rejoined. Jonathan is forty. Why come back after twenty years? How attractive can a forty year-old man singing "I'll be loving you" really be? Not to mention, New Kids on the Block is directly responsible for musical abominations such as *NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys. Who knows what mess could spring from this comeback? Would NKOTB really want to be accountable for another generation of teen girls that cause people to hate the radio?



We shall see...
