The dream of the 1990s isn’t dead, even though everybody who remembers the decade inches ever-slowly closer to the grave where they’ll be reunited with the Tamagotchi they left to die alone, surrounded by its own s**t.  To celebrate the era, and also mark the inevitable progression of time and decay of all things, there’s going to be an “I Love the ’90s” tour this spring. 

Vanilla Ice, Salt-N-Pepa, Coolio, All-4-One, Biz Markie, Color Me Badd, Kool Moe Dee, Kid ‘n Play, Rob Base, Tone Loc, and Young MC all took time from their busy schedules to join the inaugural tour.  It kicks off on April 15 in Greenville, North Carolina, and will make stops at 28 more cities, none of which are major markets. 

But do not make fun of these musical relics of a bygone era as they hit the road in an attempt to recapture a fleeting bit of past glory, for you too will peak one day.  Maybe you already have.
