So my friend - really? maybe little-not-really-related-sister would be better... . Anyway, Erika posted a blog about her top 5 Backstreet Boys videos. And as I watched all 5 of these videos... I got a little nostalgic. I remember Backstreet Boys and N'Sync (I was definitely more BSB) in late high school and early college. And while I wanted to say that they were for young teens, let's be honest, I had the BSB cds. I went to the concert. I even had a favorite. They were a boy band! And I love Boy Bands.
It was 1989, August I think. And my mom was in Iowa with my grandma who was dying of cancer. And we didn't have school yet, but my Dad brought the 3 of us back to Pensacola to get
ready. I was in our room, and my Dad yelled up the stair to turn the channel to whatever number it was, that there were so cute boys singing on Oprah. And who was it you ask? It was New Kids on the Block!!! And I was smitten. That was it. The beginning of my Boy Band love.

It was New Kids on the Block!!! And I was smitten. That was it. The beginning of my Boy Band love. So, flash forward to Erika's blog reminding my of my love for BSB. And so from the blog, I turned to my iPhone. And I went to iTunes. And I started looking up music. I got 5 New Kids on the Block songs. And from there I started looking for all of my missing 80s faves. I downloaded 5 songs from the Jets, 2 from Debbie Gibson, 3 from the Beastie Boys, Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart (speaking of great videos), and I tried to download the entire Footloose soundtrack. Only there isn't enough room! And I deleted over 100 pictures. So tonight or tomorrow, I am going to have to plug into the main computer at home and start reorganizing my music. And maybe, just maybe, there will be room for Kenny Loggins!
