Okay, the caption about Donnie being known as the other Wahlberg. If you want to get technical Donnie came first. Also were any of you at the concerts that are talking crap???? Huh? No? THEN SHUT UP! KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! DON'T LIKE IT DON'T READ IT! NUF SAID!

stmove: Also, Spice Girls. My sister, God love her, tried to buy tickets but you had to enter some sort of a raffle even to buy them. Seeing pictures of a boyband composed entirely of middle aged men was kind of awesome in a horrifying way.

"no TV braggers" are destined to the 17th circle of hell; the one of passive-aggressive elitism implied through self-imposed ignorance. I think in that circle people are forced to eat their own excrement and tell everyone how good it is, or something like that. NKOTB: it says something about the time we live in that they are back selling out arenas (as opposed to being ridiculed out of existence) and a bush is president again.

i'm proud to say that if i bumped into any of these dudes on the street, i wouldn't know who they are. Superfans and celebrity worshippers are among the most annoying people on the earth. They are trumped, however, by the people who crow about how about how proud they are to not even be aware of some element or another of pop culture. Please go stand in the corner, along with the people who brag about not owning TVs.

Now you all have seen the inspiration behind the origin of the term "ghey."

@Nate The sixth picture he looks clive owenish. Now, he's no clive owen, but give me a couple of beers, low self-esteem and a dark room and I can make it work. Maybe!

oh shit, i feel stupid for commenting on this post at all, but NKOTB was around in the mid-80s? i distinctly remember them being annoying in 1989. i would have called them more of a late-80s thing.

blittle, you might want to invest in the LASIKS or something if you really think that human rodent John Knight looks anything like Clive Owen . . .

I'd like to see KNOTB star on Survivor: Darfur.

Monkey. I was getting to that. A long stretched out feeding frenzy scene with sharks and TNKOTB.

I think NKOTB would have done better on an episode of Fantasy Island, where they play a grown-up boy band coming to terms with the dark side of success and end up reconciling just before Tattoo drives them over a cliff in his golf cart. Then the sharks show up.

If dcist needs someone to cover the AC/DC show at the Verizon Center next month, let me know. Especially if you can get me two tickets/passes.

Yeah, but Marky Mark is now producing Entourage. I think that worked out for him. (And starring in really bad movies like The Happening.)

I was at the show. It was my girl's idea. I was one of the ten guys there. I checked my testicles at the door and wished they set the VP-debate schedule a little bit earlier. I've never heard so much screaming in my life. It's what I imagine Vietnamese villages sounded like as napalm rained down from US planes.

Too bad 'The Love Boat' isn't on. I would have written the New Kids on the Block into the script and have the boat hit a sperm whale. The NKOTB get thrown overboard and it becomes a 'Gilligan's Islands meets The New Kids on the Block. The island is taken over by Hugo Chavez and his pal boy Kennedy who forces the NKOTB to become Menudo.

Half the fun of Jezebel is watching the commenters go ape$h!t over stuff like the latest GOP gaffe, sexist advertisements, and vulgar mudflaps. The other half of the fun is dressing up in a Gestapo uniform and putting lit cigarettes out on my scrotum, which is exactly what I want to do whenever I think of NKOTB.

blittle Jezebel is a fine website, its the uppity-bandwagon commenters that turn me away. For instance when something is outrageous, it's outrageous, you don't all have to tell us how outraged you are.

Biggest mistake Mark Wahlberg ever made was not joining these guys. I don't see any Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch tours in the imminent future, but I might have to check the Book of Revelations.

Excuse Me! Excuse Me! The Other one, the Clive Owen look alike is John. Not that you care or anything. :P grrrr. clive owen. ps. I'm sorry for turning this post into something from Jezebel.

And at the same time, over a dozen cop cars flooded 7th street in front of Fado's, apparently to arrest one guy, very surreal.

Last night's Jenny Lewis show at 6th and I finished at the exact same time as this concert and both crowds piled into the Gallery Place Metro station to get home. Two more divergent sets of concert-goers you will never see - I kept waiting for the platform to denegrate into an all out brawl between the two sides, but alas, nothing. I'll also note that a majority of the passengers didn't really take to my version of "Step by Step." Probably because I don't know any of the words.
