He was so uptight that he couldn't just laugh it off and take it in stride, but gave me some kind of lecture, even though I think that's a common thing for kids.
I loved every little thing that Cory said about Lindsey in her tour diary, like hating to be the one to have to go and try to get him to the plane, because he would just keep talking and, while ignoring the fact that she was trying to get him to leave, he'd put his arm around her like she was standing there for her health! Or how he didn't bother telling him the zipper on his boot was busted and she had to tape it together for the next show.
Or how he would make faces at her while on stage and distract her from her teleprompter duties.
And I love at the end of the SYW tour when he made a dedication to her and said that Greg would be so proud and he got choked up. Awww.

See, there's another reason why I really adore LB. I know I don't know the man personally, but when I see how close he is to all these nieces of his and all the accounts of his adoration of him children...I respect him so much more. It's totally a bonus along with his incredible good looks, but it's a bonus I like being there. Which is why I'm such a pro LB guy when people like to rag on him as being a "jerk" (in other more provocative terms) towards everyone. By all accounts, he may not always be a ray of sunshine, but his family members appear to adore him and, having met him several times, I can vouch what a doll he is to his fans.
Thanks for bringing these little accounts up Michele. I remember reading an article written for some paper in California by one of his nieces (not Cory) and she mentioned how at some New Kids on the Block reunion show she heard them cover Fleetwood Mac and was shocked, mainly because of her childhood love for them + her uncle was in the band.
