In my day we put our child stars out to pasture about the
same time hair starting appearing in places it wasn’t before. And this was especially true if you worked
for Disney. Now, not so much. Example A. Former Jonas Brother, Nick
Jonas. IT wasn’t that long ago they were
a pretend band on the Disney Channel that espoused such established Rock N’
Roll ethos’ like not doing drugs or alcohol not smoking and celibacy until one
was married. And in a proper world they would’ve
ran their course and been tossed aside as their 11 year fans turned 15.
Being a child star stunts your ability to grow. Not physically but mentally. And real music comes from real musician. Part of what makes good music is a good
musician. The real musicians have
character. They have depth. They have flaws that have been beat into them
from years of not getting paid. Vans
breaking down. And turning to drugs and
alcohol to deal with everything. As this
next generation carries on the flag of apathy, we can point to many reasons the
populous doesn’t care about real music and one of those is the inability to see
the difference between Guns N Roses and the Jonas Brothers.
Nick Jonas is gonna appear in something called Flaunt with
his sperm gutters on full display. Inside
we see Mr. Waituntilyouremarried holding his crotch in some tighty
whities. As far as this pandering to the
gay community I couldn’t care less. It’s
what I found out next that inspired this article and catapulted Mr. Jonas to
the top of the short list for SATM MOTY 2015.
Nick is willing to follow anyone on twitter who buys his new
song 20 times.
Which of course led to tweets like this...
And this...
And this..
And the occasional voice of reason...
And general disgust...
Asking someone to buy his crappy song and give to 20 people is asking his fans to buy 1 thing from him 20 times. That is pathetic and desperate. And there is no way his average fan has 20 friends. What kind of loser listens to Nick Jonas? But before he does 1 second of work followed by ignoring you, he has a few steps you need to follow...
And don't forget. Nick Jonas doesn't follow just anybody on twitter. He's gonna make you prove it...
Which of course led to tweets like this...
And this...
And this..
And the occasional voice of reason...
And general disgust...
At least I hope that's disgust. Fans and consumers have been getting their ass handed to them for sometime now and it's time hit back. No artist is deserving of the type of reverence this requires. Especially not a fucking Jonas Brother. And taking advantage of the super fan at this level should be criminal. If your song was any fucking good you wouldn't have to beg your Kool-Aid drinking fans to give it to people who don't want it. Some people will defend this as a creative way to raise money in an ever changing industry. And to that I say bullshit. This is pathetic. This is sad. If you make a living taking advantage of people you deserve a fate worse than gay men dropping a few ounces of man gravy on your magazine spread. And it's society's fault. When w treat the careers of the Nick Jonas' of the world properly and shit like this wouldn't happen and wouldn't matter if it did.
