Vintage New Kids on the Block Pin, Donnie Wahlberg, Boston, Massachusetts 1980s NKOTB

1 1/2" ~

Donnie was always considered the "bad boy" of the band. Remember when he and Danny Wood got drunk and set fire to that hotel in Kentucky in 1991? He has gone on, along with his brother, to have a fine acting career.

These are really neat, NKOTB was considered the first official modern boy band. The official NKOTB hotline, 1-900-909-5KIDs, received approximately 100,000 calls per week. Imagine the amount of money this brought in. What was it like, $2.99 a minute back then? In 1991, the group was #1 on Forbes' list of highest-paid entertainers, ahead of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, and all the other stars of the day.

This is a band that isn't done yet. On March 3, 2022, NKOTB released the music video "Bring Back the Time", which features Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley, and En Vogue. You can watch it here: 

Neat random fact Jennifer Lopez was once a backup dancer for the group before she came to fame.
