You guys might not know this but we are big Jonas Brothers Fans. We have been to one of their concerts and it has been one of the most amazing nights of our lives! We might be going to another one this year and we are praying to get meet and greet passes but anyways thats not the point why i am posting this. I was on the computer comparing the rolling stone cover of the jonas brothers from their 1st cover and their 2nd cover. While i was searching for the picture of the 2nd rolling stones cover I came upon this article about the jonas brothers on the rolling stones site and I was looking through the comments and read one that just really explained what I want people to know about the jonas brothers so here it is:
"Nothing like JB on the cover of Rolling Stone to bring out the arrogant, insecure, middle-aged fools who think that just because they have a subscription to RS that they are musical geniuses. Those of you hating on them are judging them simply by the fact that they are “with Disney” or “have little girl fans”, blah, blah, blah. I’m 42 and a huge fan, and I don’t care what anyone thinks of that. I’ve been around awhile, listen to all types of music from metal to r&b to pop and am a discerning type - not only are they true musicians, but they are good people, which counts for something to me, but apparently not to the mainstream. They are smart enough to surround themselves with good people (family) and they run a very tight ship and live clean lives - something very hard to do in this industry. “Black Keys”, written by Nick using only the black keys of a piano, is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life. And he’s 16. They put on a show at The Ryman a few months back with several different artists (Brad Paisley, Martina McBride, Stephen C. Chapman, and others) - stripped down and about nothing but music - and it was amazing. They covered classic songs that most kids their age haven’t ever heard (Tom Petty, America, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer). In their current tour, they cover “Sweet Caroline”. What teenager knows about that song? These “boys” have been an inspiration to many and done more for others in their short lives than most people do in a lifetime. They’ve introduced their young fans to classic artists just by saying who their inspirations are. They are constantly giving back, helping to raise $1,000,000 for diabetes research, visiting sick fans, lending their time and music for several different charities, etc. etc. Music is music, we’re not curing cancer here, and there’s not one person out there who can determine what is good music and what isn’t. It’s all subjective and different music brings out different emotions for everyone. Yes, I am an adult who has more important things to worry about, but they and their music drew my teenage daughter out of a funk she was in for a long time. A sort of depression that no therapist could help her with. Until you go thru something like that, you cannot judge, and JB and their music gave her something to get interested in and look forward to. She’s fine now, and will always hold a special place in her heart for them. You don’t have to like them….it’s really o.k. The hate and harsh criticism directed at them when they have done nothing but work tirelessly to share with their fans their music and incredible character is just foolish and unnecessary. Bless their parents for raising them right. And thank you to Rolling Stone for giving them positive coverage. I wish there were more people like them in this world…."

But I just thought that this was just so what drives me to appreciate the Jonas Brothers so hard to explain but this lady did it very well and I am glad that her daughter is better.
