This falls under the “Bet Ya Didn’t Know This!” category…

Bet ya didn’t know that the Jonas Brothers (alright there, I can hear you all saying ‘yeeccchh’ at the same time..now stop that!) look to The Beatles for the inspiration in song writing.  Surprise, surprise, right?  Well I think it’s cool that much younger musicians stilll look to Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr when trying to find ideas to write and sing about.

The Jonas Brothers have even gone so far as to call The Beatles their “idols” but they want to make it clear that they, in no way, compare themselves to the Fabs (who the hell in their right mind would???)  They wrote on their website…

“It is an honour BUT we definitely DO NOT compare ourselves to the Beatles.  We look to them as a source of inspiration but we don’t think anyone will have the impact that the Beatles have had on music.”

It’s just so incredible how, 45 years after appearing on the scene, those 4 glorious lads from Liverpool keep inspiring a whole new generation of young men and women  to learn to play and write music.
