The New Kids On The Block got a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Wow. :D

Yep, I'm a Blockhead. Actually, back when I was a fan in the 80s and 90s, I don't even recall the fans had a name for themselves, but then that was a long time ago. I went to several concerts, was a member of their fan club, and had my bedroom decorated floor to ceiling (no joke) with their pictures and posters. I still have it all stored away, including my coveted NKOTB jacket which I wore in high school, despite the teasing I got.

So proud that the boys got this recognition. A great ceremony, too with Arsenio Hall there to show his love and support. Oh, oh, oh, oooh, oh. :)

I'm doubling up on videos today, 'cause I wanna wrap this all up on Sunday. Not sure anyone's even looking at these anymore. Hasn't been any comments in a while.

I remember this Coca-Cola ad very clearly. Pretty sure I put in on a videotape like 5 times in a row so I wouldn't have to keep backing up the tape. :P The music video for "If You Go Away" is notable because it was the last big hit for the group before they disbanded. :(

Another favorite song from the "Step By Step" album. :)

Sorry, again for this being from VEVO. It's the only version of the music video out there on youtube. Everything else is concert performances. I hope at least some of you can watch it.

Remember the big lip-synching controversy the group faced in the early 1992? They appeared on Arsenio's show again to set the record straight.

Presenting both parts of the program including the opening medley performance.

I've got 2 videos to share today. Not sure everyone will be able to view the 2nd one. Sorry.

This NKOTB concert at the Kingdome in Seattle was my first back in the summer of 1990. I still remember how incredibly loud it was in there! My ears didn't stop ringing for hours after my dad and I got home. I know I have both of these news reports on a tape somewhere. ;)

Time for a music video! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!!! :D

I don't actually remember this performance at the Super Bowl in 1991, but that was a long time ago and my old videotapes are buried in a box somewhere. Heh.

Someone left a comment on another post of the video on youtube that provides an explanation of why I (and some others) don't remember this:

you might not remember it because it wasn't shown live in most of America because the Persian Gulf war had just started a few days prior, and most stations went to a report of the war instead of showing halftime.

About a month ago I did some looking around on youtube...you know, how you do. *g* Got caught up in watching a bunch of NKOTB videos and feeling all nostalgic. Yeah, I was a huge fan back in the day. I went to several concerts, joined their fanclub, bought merchandise & CDs, & still have all the memorabilia to prove it.

I started bookmarking a bunch of the videos and thought I'd take a couple of weeks to post them here. I know there's a few New Kids fans out there that'll appreciate this stuff. For the rest of you? Well, feel free to skip past these posts.

We begin with a video from 1990 when the group at the height of their popularity. I still have this on a videotape somewhere. ;)

A little late with today's post, but that's the way things go.

I didn't watch the AMA last night, but I sure read about this standout performance by NKOTB & BSB! I was a huge NKOTB fan back in the day, going to several concerts, meeting their parents, and with my bedroom walls covered with their pictures from floor to ceiling. I'm a lesser fan of BSB, though I do have their greatest hits album from several years ago. I like some of their songs, including the 2 they performed last night.

These 2 groups make a great pairing! Woot! :D

Got lots of little things to talk about, so it's random ramble time. :)

I was watching Merv Griffith's Crossword game show the other day and they had "boyishly adorable" as a clue. The word? Cute. So naturally, I thought of the guy in the cap below. :D

Boyishly Adorable = Cute || Cute + Boyishly Adorable = Jensen Ackles


( Long ramble - enter if you dare! Heehee! )
