Anger with Washington

This morning I was going through my daily Jonas emails and there was one article from washingtonpost.com that really angered me.  This is a review that they did on the show in DC.


"To compare the Jonases to a non-musical family trio, the Corleones, Nick, 15, would be Michael, the youngest and most able brother. He took a fine drum solo, told a touching story about pressing on after being diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, and his tune, "A Little Bit Longer," delivered the 90-minute show's rockingest-and-rollingest moments.

Joe, 18 and an occasional lead vocalist, would be Sonny, the middle brother who works hardest and clearly feels underappreciated: When Nick, sitting behind a grand piano, instructed his older brother to lead the crowd in a round of hand-waving and clapping, Joe complied, but halfheartedly and with blatant surliness.

As for Kevin, 20: He's Fredo, the oldest, allowed to take part in the family business only because of blood ties. During a faithful cover of A-Ha's schlocky gem, "Take On Me," Kevin was down-stroking his Les Paul as furiously as Dee Dee Ramone would, yet no corresponding sound was coming out; it was as if the crew had unplugged his instrument.

Alas, there was no offer this crowd would refuse: Arena management said after the show that the Jonas Brothers broke all house records for merchandise sales."


So the whole thing about Kevin just really made me mad. How could they say that?

Anyways...if you want to read the rest of the article you can find it here.
