Kurt’s Blog: These 3 Boy Bands are Topping My Playlist? What is Happening?
Posted on by Producer Kurt in Kurt's Blog

Well..for my entire life…I’ve been anti-boy band…not “can’t stand ’em”, but they didn’t make it only my playlist….

No NKOTB (but that’s because my 6th grade girlfriend dumped me for the hopes of one day dating Donnie…DONNIE?! Joey I understood…even Jordan…but losing to Donnie stung).

*Nsync & Backstreet Boys & 98 Degrees…didn’t get into them either…okay, maybe a little into the BSB.  I mean, you can’t resist “I Want it That Way”, right?

And then One Direction, Big Time Rush, Jonas Bros…again, I was a pass…

And now…here we are…it’s 2019…and on my running playlist…prominently featured are…

I don’t even know what’s right anymore…

Maybe it’s the cold…I’m blaming all this on the cold.
