Ok. So I tune into watch Bands Reunited on VH1, because New Kids on the Block were on the show. How excited was I? Particularly when Jordan Knight graciously signed on, as did Jon Knight. Both however expressed their concern that it would be hard to get the other's to sign on.
Joe at least did the interview, but said that any reunion would have to be on the New Kids terms, and not someone elses like this shows.
My response? Shit dude. Life is busy. People always intend to do things, but never do. Sometimes it just takes someone else to encourage you or remaind you or give you the motivation to do that something that is in the back of your mind. It pissed me off that he said no. It really did.
Donny and Danny wouldn't even do the interviews. Danny's response was that he was no longer in the business, and Donny's that he was moving on to be an actor. Well let me tell you, Donny, any publicity is better than nothing.
And to the three of you; you were a part of something big; something huge. There is nothing wrong with that. Some people are into music, and they were into you. You were a right of passage for many people. Nothing is saying you have to sign your life away. Its just a reunion. You can still move on. Be individual, pursue your goals. But you can't escape something so big that you were a part of. Your going to end up a bunch of bitter has-been band members like the Beatles where everyone desperatly withed for a reunion, and anyone in their right mind knew that a reunion was what the good men would do, and then too much time was wasted and it became too late.
So... Kudos to Jordan and Jon, my two favorite NKOTB members,
and to Joe I'm disapointed, and Donny, your damn attitude was probably the whole downfall of the NKOTB... so you lost me as a fan. Good luck with your careers. But if you can't show respect to the phenomenom that made you known to the world, and signed me on as a fan, then don't expect my respect to continue.
Hang Tough.
