Yeah, I'm cool

A local radio station is advertising a New Kids on the Block reunion concert as a Mother's Day treat.

I'm flabbergasted.

Do you mean to tell me that the annoying teeny boppers who were so crazy about NKOTB are old enough to be mothers?  What does that make me? Jeez. I've always been an old fogey in my head. Now I really am one.

There are some lucky people in this world who saw bands at a small club or other venue before the band got big on the national stage. Bands like U2, REM, Talking Heads, cool stuff. Of course, for me, that band was New Kids on the Block.

I went to the first ever Boston Music Awards at the Wang Center and the New Kids were introduced there. They were really really young, in matching track suits doing their little synchronous dances. I had been hoping to see Aerosmith, which had been featured in the ads for the event. The Wang Center is a theatre where the Boston Ballet performed for years and many of the honorees came out into the lobby during the intermission. I was hoping the Steven Tyler would be among them, but sadly, Aerosmith was off on an island somewhere filming a video for "Rag Doll."

Instead I got Donnie Wahlberg in a track suit.

But I got to hear "The Right Stuff" before you did.

Nyah!
