Jonas Brothers?!? Who are these whippersnappers?

Julie Seabaugh

In my day, teen-nip trios composed of three brothers were blond, crazy-eyed and hailed from the Middle of Nowhere! They “MMMBop”ped their way to three Grammy nominations—uphill both ways in the snow—and they liked it, dammit! Now you’ve got these devilish dark-hairs lookin’ like a cross between Zeke Ephraham and the two Jewish boys who favored red tracksuits in the expose about Christmas-tree salespeople. Disney songs? Opening for Miley Cyrus? Stealing the legendary Barry Manilow’s “Mandy,” mismangling the music and the lyrics so they’re completely unrecognizable and not even thanking the great and beautiful man for his “input”?! Just you wait till those goldeny voices crack, youngsters, and it’ll be back to Christian radio for the lot of ya! Now get off my lawn! 

February 1, 8 p.m., $39.50-$49.50. Planet Hollywood, 785-5055.
