New Kids On The Block
While not quite Old Men on their Walkers yet, there’s no denying that the members of ‘90s boy band New Kids on the Block are getting a little long in the tooth. Publicity pics for the upcoming Mixtape Tour that hits Viejas Arena on May 23 portray the band looking for all the world like five of your drunkest uncles posing at an outdoor wedding reception, after mugging the kids at the jump house for their jackets and shoes. Accentuating the older-than-your-dad aspect of this road trip are tour mates such as hip-hop trio Salt-N-Pepa (who got quite a comeback boost with “Shoop” featured so prominently in the Deadpool soundtrack), pop singer Tiffany (plugging a new album called Pieces of Me), Out of the Blue ingenue Debbie Gibson (who seems to have finally given up on trying to get people to call her Deborah), and celebrating 27 years of natural naughtiness, New Jersey pop rappers Naughty By Nature.
