How RUDE is Nick Jonas?
Visits MY Sonoran desert
Doesn't bring Administration
Doesn't even call

John Taylor, of Jonas Brothers' Love Bug fame, Tweets, @nickjonas smashed the ball today during Dodgers batting practice. Nick Tweets, Had an amazing time at spring training with the Dodgers and my boy @johnlloydtaylor Definitely a dream come true

How rude of Mr. Jonas to visit my Sonoran desert and not bring The Administration for a gig. If Mr. Jonas sticks around for St. Patrick's Day, he can enjoy his beloved Dodgers playing a Cactus League home game against the Chicago White Sox when it will be 80 degrees.

Well, Mr. Jonas, you missed a lovely St. Patrick's Day parade today. While you where shagging balls (did you bring Selena Gomez?), I spent the day in 72 degree weather watching six bands - not a one of them The Administration.

Wednesday you can get into the Phoenix Art Museum free, Mr. Jonas (like you can't afford it) and see rare Ansel Adams photographs - that's after you shag your Dodgers' balls.

Ironically Mr. Jonas visits Arizona when it is spring break. If he were old enough, he could catch comedian Chelsea Handler. He can watch the Ostrich Festival running nearly two decades (has music); the Renaissance Festival, professional bull riding, Aloha Festival. Flogging Molly will be here Wednesday. Both Black Eyed Peas and Paul McCartney the same week as WWE Wrestlemania. Tonight you could catch the Rhythm Room All Stars, probably best blues band in the world - oops, there's that age thing again. If this strikes you, there's something called the Samurai Comic Anime Fest. Drunk Otis plays Joe's Grotto on St. Pat's - dang, that age thing again. Sevendust are here tomorrow, or catch a Suns home game.

Of course, you may believe there's nothing to do in the desert and already be headed back to Los Angeles or Texas - oh, did you visit (your) grandma in southwest Phoenix while you were here, young man?

You could always run into Mohammad Ali, as I did two weeks ago. Nils Lofgren of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, all of Dokken, Dave Mustaine, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz. Maybe not enough for you to do in the desert.

Bounce and other Jonas Brothers gossip
Where have I been?
Nick+Selena (Nilena)
Joe+Demi (Domi)

Okay, where have I been? Just discovered Bounce by the JoBros and Demi Lovato. Been out nearly six months.

In other JoBro news, Nick is back with Selena, Joe is back with Demi and Kevin isn't divorced - YET.

Nick Jonas & Administration
Highest debut on Hot 100
Billboard charts #73
More proof end of Tween music

Guess who debuted highest on Billboard's Hot 100 chart today? It's the Jonas formerly known as Brother (take off on his backup band, The Administration, which were part of Prince's New Power Generation).

Here's some advice for Nick. Follow Eric Burdon, Greg Allman and others, like Prince, who had a host of backing bands. You've delved into country - how about a Willie Nelson & sort of thing. Nick Jonas & Taylor Swift, Nick Jonas & Gloriana. Okay, I'm done; that's the extent of knowledge of country stars unless you throw in Crystal Gale, Billy Ray Cyrus or Asleep at the Wheel.


Who I am reached #73 - and it was the highest debut on the Hot 100. Pitiful. End of Tween music.

Last chance to see Jonas Brothers in 2009
Possibly ever with Nick
What happens in San Juan
Stays in San Juan


The same day Selena Gomez plays Tempe, Arizona, and yes, her PR team has ignored all requests from this blog, you can catch the final 2009 show of the Jonas Brothers tour in San Juan, P.R. Maybe the last show ever with Nick.

While you're at it, enjoy a Major League Beisbol (Baseball) game, watching your favorite U.S. diamond stars.


On Dec. 13, JBs play the Coliseo, or Coliseum, of San Juan. Playoffs for the Puerto Rican league is Dec. 11.


The JBs love sports. Maybe they'll be smart enough to play in a MLB game while in Puerto Rico. Say hi to my friends Mario & Pieto, Joe, Kevin & Nick. Went to college with Mario.

Nick to Kevin & Joe
We're not Hanson
Future of Jonas Brothers band


My daughter came up with Nick Jonas' answer to Kevin and Joe when they ask about the future of the Jonas Brothers band - We're not Hanson. Perfect answer if Nick thinks about it!

If Joe and Kevin want a Jonas Brothers band, Frankie better learn how to play piano, guitar and drums.

Holiday time means breakups
Nick Jonas premiering new single
New band without brothers

Holidays have traditionally been a time for breakups. Nick Jonas is breaking up with his brothers - at least as far as concerts and music are concerned. He's formed a new band, The Administration, that will release its first single, Who I Am, Dec. 3, the day after performing it on the Grammy nominations Dec. 2.

Jonas has recruited members of Prince's former band. He will continue to appear in ABC's Jonas Brother TV show, plus J.O.N.A.S., which is scheduled to appear sometime in 2010. He will also tour in the spring with The Administration - not the Jonas Brothers.


A CD by the same name as the single is due out Feb. 2, songs reportedly include a remake of Jonas Brothers
Tonight. Other tentative titles include, The Rose Garden, Olive & An Arrow, Conspiracy Theory and State of Emergency.

Why is it Niley and not Mick?

Are those Taylor Swift's boots? Nice shirt, Miley. I'm sure the front three rows enjoyed looking up it. Those photos are probably on THOSE Web sites!

The $400,000 per day teenager

Let’s face it, 2008 was a bad year economically for everyone. In 2007, Miley Cyrus averaged $400,000 per day with CD sales, a Walmart deal, a tour, and Hannah Montana TV show.

2008 was not as lucrative for Cyrus. She could have been in a funk due to breaking up with Nick Jonas. Alas, an eye-candy boy-toy helped ease that situation. All she had was a #1 CD, Breakout, which didn’t even reach 400,000 first week sales and did not break Mariah Carey’s record. She also had Bolt, a movie that flopped, and was stiffed for a return to High School Musical 3. She did have racy photos in Vanity Fair.

If early material released from Hannah Montana The Movie is any indication, it should re-ignite her career – and earning power. Release date as of now is set for April 10, 2009. That could be pushed back again. This movie was originally supposed to come out for Christmas, 2008. For more on the plot, visit jonasmontana.wordpress.com.

Cyrus had many stars chasing after her earning power fame in 2008. Jonas Brothers lead the pack, second - Taylor Swift, trailing was Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez. Looks like Hannah’s back in 2009. I will predict a tour, too. Bet it will be Lovato as the opening act.

You heard it here first - biggest first weekend sales in Disney history. That's my prediction!

Don't forget to check older posts for Saving Parents $$$ about the deluxe version coming out in June.
