U Gotta Be Kiddin Me

Back in the day, let me take you back.....let's say 1988.  Yes.  I said 88'...um 20 years ago.  I was totally into New Kids on the Block.  BIG TIME.  I followed every move they made back then.  Watched MTV constantly just to get a glimpse of these 5 fine men.  I learned the moves to the song, The Right Stuff..  yes I sure did.   I had a jean jacket that had all the pins of each of the guys.  But I had one in particular that stole my heart.  His name....Jonathan Rashleigh Knight.  I remember his birthdate as November 29, 1968.   He had a Sharpei named Wrinkles.   He had 5 brothers and sisters, with one of his Brothers as Jordan.  He also suffers from panic attacks.  I remember watching the Oprah show when he had an attack.  Its not something you want to share with the world.  As it took alot for him to go up on stage to speak about his panic attacks.  I cried so hard for him because of how hard he was shaking.  But anyway, I know I probably sound like a  dork but you can't help it when you grow up listening to a band and they decide to make a comeback.  I sure hope they come around here as, the last time they were here.  Now please don't laugh.  I could tell you where I was living, what I was doing.  When they had came into the Quad Cities to the Iowa Machine Shed as it was during a snowstorm.  They ate dinner there and left.   That happens to be my fave restaurant too...lol.  I really would love to actually see them in concert.   In this picture its Joey, Jonathan, Donnie, Jordan and Danny.   And yes, I will say.  My Son is named Jonathan but its not because of my crush on Jonathan Knight.  But hey...it works right?
