Sorry…I still follow Davy Jones around the country. I just don’t scream and swoon anymore. Hip replacements are not cheap.

I’m not so much of a “Jonas Fan”, but I remember in the 80′s, I fell in love with Nena and her song “99 luftballons”. I didn’t have a “teen idol” craze, but I thought Nena’s song was brillant. I was also 13 at the time, so when I went to a concert, people would look down at me and say,”Where is your parents? Letting some 5th grader to a concert for teens!”. I guess I must of been really short.

I remember buying the magazine in the 70′s. Although, I can discount most of the “teen” idols of today, I really like the Jonas Brothers. They are far more a role model than any other teen idols who have ever been out there. They are talented, playing their own music, and writing their own songs. They also write for other acts. In addition, they have such good values. Their parents have also taught them to appreciate what they have been given. They are constantly giving of their time, their talent, and their money to help those around them.
