HOUSTON, TX—
You know what`s even louder than the squeals of 15,000 plus 13-year-old girls? The shrieking sounds of 15,000-plus 35-year-old women.It wasn`t Elvis mania that elicited the reaction, or even Beatles mania and no it`s not Bieber fever.
Former teenyboppers rejoiced as the super group New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys took the stage at the Toyota Center.
“I was 8 at a New Kids concert and I’m turning 30 in 2 weeks,” said one really excited fan.
In a 1989 meets 1999 moment two generations of women howled, cried, clicked dozens of cell phone photos and joyfully wallowed in the 2-plus hour nostalgia fiesta unfolding before them.
Now in their 40`s and 30`s, but still chiseled and sporting tattoos, facial hair, and hats for those losing their hair; there were more muscles on stage than an MMA main card event.
It was a whirling, swirling boy-band bonanza complete with raging hormones, pop music and dancing in the aisles.
For a moment you forgot it wasn`t high school and those boy band crushes weren`t now married with kids.
And just like that, the lights came up and it was 2011 again.
