The interview Kevin did with WSNX in Grand Rapids yesterday was one that was taken a little too far. The guys that did the interviewing wrote a blog on their myspace.
So we did an interview with a guy in a band called The Jonas Brothers Monday. If you’re not familiar with the band here is what wikipedia has to say:
The Jonas Brothers is an American pop punk/pop-rock band from Wyckoff, New Jersey made up of three brothers, Joseph, Nicholas and Kevin Jonas.
Us Magazine wrote an article in February about their "purity" rings and their vow of abstaining from sex until marriage.
When we talked to Kevin Friday, (20) the oldest of the three brothers, this was one of the most interesting things to us. We admitedly didn’t know much about them. Most of our audience didn’t.
Since then, we have been bombarded with emails and myspace messages from rabid fans about our interview and how "disgusting" and "uncalled for" it was for us to ask questions about something we found intriguing. Most of which have come from fan sites linking to our audio like jonasbrothersfan.com. These fans don’t know or listen to our show so they have NO CLUE about how we do things and who we are. That hasn’t stopped them from sending some of the most vile and threat laced judgemental emails and comments we’ve ever seen. These are great coming from so called fans of a band that espouses Christian beliefs.
(I’ll post some of these later THEY ARE HILARIOUS)
Some fans, once they understand what happened and have the full picture are a little more understanding. For example we got an email from a girl locally who finally gets it now.
