Here's my review of Saturday's Jonas Brothers concert, which includes my highly controversial statement that it will be Joe, and not Nick, who will have solo fame. That's right. I so went there.
(After years of trying and failing to write for people my own age, I'm now focusing exclusively on high-school and junior-high readers. Next week I'm totally running for class president.)
 Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours. |

Sean, I must have the mind of a high school girl because I am totally diggin' on your vibe. I read the review and I love it.
I approve of the J-Bros playing on my son's iPod. I'm not forced to plug my ears when I hear their music.
Can I be your campaign manager?

Hell yeah. You can be my vice-president. You'll help us get the "Mrs. Robinson" vote.
Way back when I was in HS (insert rustic sound of a creaking rocking chair), the big campaign promise was a Coke machine in the cafeteria. Now I imagine most schools come equipped with their own Starbucks.

SD,
Just spent a few minutes trolling the the comments piling up below your review.
Holy Feeding Frenzy, Batman! I guess girls today are starting each morning with a bowl of cereal, a glass of juice and a quick Google of the JoBros (all part of a complete and balanced breakfast).
Forget running for class president; you should be running a Jonas Brothers fansite. Your hit-volume in the 'female, 12-17' demo would have you neck deep in Funyons in no time!

You know, I was a pretty typical, emotional, dramatic teenage girl, but these chicas have so got me beat in the excitable category. I don't think I was ever as effusive over any band or artist as they are. The Jonas Bros. machine is doing something right.
PS: Mr. Daly, not that Miss Riss isn't a formidable running mate, but I do believe you could get the Mrs. Robinson vote all on your own. Koo-koo-ka-choo.

I have to say that i have no problem with the Jonas Brothers. I recently DJ-ed a dance at a middle school, and JoBros songs were some of the only ones that did not make me want to gag. Dj-ing for a bunch of middle schoolers is not an easy task. The powers that be (the ones paying you) tell you emphaticly, "NOTHING THE LEAST BIT SUGESTIVE... NOTHING DIRTY!" You spend the rest of the night being told by the kids that you suck because you won't play that hip-hop song about 'booty smackin' '. It's a wonderful way to spend an evening.

You mean that you can't pop in the Steve Miller Band, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Rush and the Doors mix for a middle school party anymore?

Sparky, if that was the case, I would have been golden.
