Yeah that's right; I said kiss my ass rock stars!  If I hear another "rock star" bitching about the Jonas Brothers aren't rock-n-roll I'm going to go nuts.  No shit the Jonas Brothers aren't rock and roll, who said they were? They're 15-years-old and they got the corporate machine behind them.  Calling the Jonas Brothers rock stars is like calling Ronald McDonald the Burger King! 

..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

The boy band of brothers are just another bullshit product created to make little girls go gaga and spend all their parents' money.  I know this, they know this, and everyone should know this because we've all seen this story before. How many times do we see boy bands get huge then crash and burn because they're fan base grows up and realizes prefer sex, drugs and black guys! The Jonas Brothers will eventually become like the little piggies: this little piggy came out of the closet that he was never really in, and this little piggy starred on the tenth season of the VH1's "Celebrity Rehab," and this little piggy found Jesus and raged a holy war against the evils of rock-n-roll. 

Musicians are lucky that they only have to worry about the likes of the Jonas Brothers. Try being a comedian, where most of the big acts now are pretty much boy band comics just trying to make the girls go crazy.  Not a week goes by that I don't work with the comedy equivalent of a wedding singer disgracing my stage with song parities, dancing, and basically committing war crimes against comedy! I have no problems with comics trying to make a buck or Comedy Clubs trying to butts in the seats. I've been on the road and saw what happened when a comic didn't draw.  Nobodies really happy about it, not the comic, the staff or the twenty people in the crowd, so I completely understand the business side of Showbiz. But It's just the fact that I'm surrounded by ventriloquists, banjo players, and jukebox comics who crank out comedy's greatest hits; and unlike the Jonas Brothers, who are at least straightforward about their blandness, these guys act like they're comedy gods!  They talk about how they've been influenced by Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison and claim to worship George Carlin.  Really, you worship George Carlin?  That's amazing because your act couldn't possibly be more opposite of his. Getting laughs doesn't mean you're a good comic, it just means you've learned a couple of paradigms that register in people's thick skulls! 

I think George Carlin would be offended by some of the shit these people say on stage and I can only hope on the day of Reckoning when the Dead walk among us that George Carlin comes back and fucks some of the "SuperFans" in their asses! 

There's a crazy rule in comedy called "6 to 60", basically comics act should entertain six to 60 year olds.  Its fucking nuts, I actually had someone tell me that this one comic was they're favorite because that comedian could make old people laugh and they felt comfortable bringing they're parents to the show.  Really?  When did whether you could bring your parent to a show become the criteria in which entertainers are judged by?  So would you bring your parents to go see Eminem, Metallica, or a Quentin Tarantino Movie?  No, so they aren't entertainers?  Should they sent to artistic purgatory where they get the shit end of the stick on gigs and opportunity?  Again, I don't have a problem with people making money.  But, where's adrenaline rush of somone doing warm fuzzy happy shinny object comedy?  What happen to the days when people came to comedy show to see shit they could experience in their office or at home.  It just seem like there was a time when certain comic rolled into town it was like the circus had arrived, fun and crazy times! I really miss the whole outlaw comedy experience. I love causing comedy chaos during my shows.   When I grab the mic, I have one rule and that's I go as hard as possible so that the crowd leaves with a definite opinion of me, good or bad. Love me or hate me it doesn't matter to me I just want you to not forget me! (Actually I prefer you love me but sometimes that's just not possible so I have to go for maximum damage!)

What was my point?  Oh yeah, leave the Jonas Brothers alone because they're just kids and they soon fade away!

The actual correct spelling is parody. It doesn't matter though when truth is being spoken. Cheers for speaking the gospel of what real comedy is. You've motivated your peeps here in Vegas and pretty soon you'll be reaping the rewards for starting a revolution ten years ago in this very town. Our fists are in the air Sammy! Our fists are in the air.

Well said...

There is a thrill to going up and outdoing a hacky comic who resorted to cheat codes though. Or watching them as they get off stage, knowing how empty they must feel. The audience isnt stupid. they notice. I think in part thanks to the internet and google/youtube etc - less and less people are buying this pre-packaged bull. More and more are appreciating the honesty and truth-revealing nature of "wild west" comedy. People are trusting the TV less and less, the economy getting worse and worse... I think in times like these its the brutal honesty they can only find through a live performance (or recording of one) that they are starting to turn to.


The reason people dont go to standup is because every show is 80% the same. Once youve seen one, youve seen most.
