The Jonas Brothers

I am looking at an advertisement in the Los Angeles Times for the new Jonas Brothers 3-D movie. The central image of the ad features the 3 brothers close on stage. The singer holds the mike ala Rod Stewart. To the right on the image is a guitar playing Jonas brother, curly hair, head back, caught stepping out in a moment of musical joy Angus Young-like. To the left of the image is another guitar playing Jonas brother, head farther back, legs spread, caught in a moment of pure Rock and Roll orgasm.

Underneath the image is the Walt Disney logo.

If only the logo police or reality enforcers could come and beat the tar and snot out of these three posers and usurpers for what they are so desperately trying to do: achieve legitimacy on the back of all of those that have come before, even though they profess to disagree with the stereotype. What a charade.

I condemn the American Idol mentality that makes this type of nothing band so trendy and current, and the Jonas Brothers themselves for being hollow shells of something they know not, only the management company knows for sure.

From archetype to cliche.
