Ray Davies: Kinks Are “Three Quarters Of The Way” To ReunionPhoto: Kane/Getty The Kinks’ Ray Davies says the band is “three quarters of the way” toward finally reuniting. “The stumbling block is my brother because he was seriously ill recently and whether he feels ready to do it,” Davies told the BBC. Guitarist Dave Davies suffered a stroke in 2004. Dave’s health might not be the only issue, however: Back in January, Dave responded to Kinks reunion rumors by saying “It would be like a poor remake of Night of the Living Dead” before poking fun at brother Ray’s songwriting talents. Still, Ray Davies made a good point when he said to the BBC, “The amazing thing is that the Kinks are the only band, of that period, where the only original members are still alive.” If the Kinks were to reunite, Ray hopes some new music will come out of it, as he “couldn’t do it just for nostalgic reasons.” Related Stories: • Dave Davies on Kinks Reunion: “It Would Be a Remake of ‘Night of the Living Dead’” • The Kinks: The Ultimate Album-by-Album Guide • Ray Davies Dials Up Showmanship, Kinks Tunes at San Fran Solo Gig

New Kids on the Block Return to U.S. Stage For First Time in 15 YearsPhoto: Getty New Kids on the Block returned to the stage for their first U.S. Show in 15 years at East Rutherford, New Jersey’s IZOD Center. A sold-out crowd of legal drinking-age women, many sporting t-shirts with “MILF” written across the back) greeted them with the same sort of fervor the New Kids enjoyed during their heyday. Though the boys stepped out to massive applause, that wasn’t good enough for Donnie Wahlberg. “15 years and that’s the best you can do?” Wahlberg joked, provoking the audience into hysterics. Later in the night, Joey McIntyre told Rock Daily, “Canada was a warm-up — a good place to get the kinks out. Our hometown is here, in the Northeast. These are the fans who help take the show to another level.” The group covered the expected hits, including “Right Stuff,” “Cover Girl” and “I’ll be Lovin’ You” along with tracks off their recently-released comeback album The Block. McIntyre provided a fluid solo performance of “Stay the Same,” while Jordan Knight screeched through a falsetto version of “Give it to You.” In one of the more sentimental moments of the show, a montage of musicians and stars who have passed away since the group’s last show accompanied “If You Go Away,” with images of Kurt Cobain, Frank Sinatra, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Aaliyah, Heath Ledger and Wahlberg’s father and Wood’s mother. With multiple outfit changes throughout the evening, the guys ended the show wearing Boston Celtics jerseys emblazoned with their last names, while performing “Hangin’ Tough.” Fluorescent strips of confetti fell to the ground to the delight of every screaming fan still living in 1990. Set list: “Single” “My Favorite Girl” “(You Got It) The Right Stuff” “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)” “Please Don’t Go Girl” “Grown Man” (With Nicole Sherzinger) “If You Go Away” “2 In the Morning” “Dirty Dancing” “Tonight” “Big Girl Now” “Twisted” “Baby I Believe in You” “Give It To You” (Jordan solo) “Stay the Same” (Joey solo) “Cover Girl” “I’ll Be Lovin’ You (For
