Fine.
I’ll be in your band. Guess I can dust off the old microphone and shine up the old leather jacket.
Obviously the band has been missing a little something and maybe what you need is a married mother of 3 in her 30s.
Sure, your band is targeted to teenage girls between the ages of 9 and 13. But who better to understand their hopes, and dreams, and struggles better than someone who also gets a monthly period? Maybe instead of singing songs about falling in love we riff about what it feels like to get boobs or combatting cramps? Or maybe we should take a whole different approach. I could belt out a few songs about choosing the right health plan or property taxes? Maybe a love ballad about how you found out on Facebook that your ex-boyfriend sells insurance and lives in a trailer? Who wouldn’t love a rock anthem about wanting to quit your job but being afraid you won’t find another equal paying job in a down market? Most of those kids have moved onto someone else anyway. Your old fans have moved onto Bieber or one of the 75 contestants on American Idol or The Voice. I offer something different. I can give you suburban sass. I can give you postpartum realness.
So, yes. I will be in your band even if I am not a brother. Even if I never owned a purity ring. Even if I can only limit road travel to Orange County so I can feed my kids dinner and get to bed before 10:00.
Jonas Tour 2014!
