The Beatles versus The Jonas Brothers

Yesterday (no pun intended) I started to come to the realization that perhaps the Jonas Brothers are the modern-day reincarnation of The Beatles.

Allow me to present my supporting evidence:

1) Both bands had three members (come on, you can’t really count Ringo…).

2) Both hands elicited screaming fits among their young female fans.

3) Both bands played instruments, and sang.

4) Both bands featured members with full heads of hair.

5) Both bands wrote catchy pop songs – although one of the bands wrote ground-breaking songs that still endure over 40 years after their initial release, and the other band writes songs that occasionally endure up to 40 days later.

6) Both bands spoke English.

7) Both bands were primarily Caucasian.

8) Both bands featured solo members proficient on the kazoo.

9) Both bands featured some of the preeminent songwriters of their generations. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10) Both bands hid embarrassing secrets – like a band-mate with knobby knees, or a road manager suffering from “the heartbreak of psoriasis”.

Yessir, the parallels are stunning…

Chow for now!!

YOUR stunning! What kind of a way is that to end our "Beatles" year? We started the year by seeing "Love" in Vegas, then saw Paul McCartney on the David Letterman show, then his concert at the "former" Shea stadium, and you dare to compare the Beatles to those kids? OMG! I think your evidence #5 should have told you there is simply NO comparison!

I can't get the chorus to Yellow Submarine out of my head now.

What are the odds we'd be on TV, WHILE I was defiling the band online???
