Lennon to Jonas Bros: You Ain't So Fab

Imagine there's no Jonas Brothers .... It's easy if you try -- at least according to John Lennon's son.

Not only does Sean not know who the hell those guys are, but outside LAX yesterday the 32-year-old Beatle spawn asked if they were, "like a Disney cartoon or something?" Yeah, something like that.

You can't expect a guy and his lady friend to know about pop culture, when they just stepped out of "The Great Gatsby!"

16. What on earth is the matter with you people....do you really think that them being so popular right now is going to destory music as we know it??? I agree their music does not appeal to everyone but then again neither did the Beatles. Leave them alone...let them enjoy their fame. Let the girls have their idols to put on posters and hang in their bedrooms. I think there is more than enough room in the music world for The Jonas Brothers and Sean Lennon

17. While, I myself, cannot say I'm a major Jonas Brothers fan, I do like the fact that my nieces (oldest is 14) love them and they do cater to the younger set. You can understand the words they are saying, they are not cursing out society or government, they are just kids having fun with a young fan base. Really dno't see a problem with that. Since Sean Lennon does not have any young teenage children, don't see why he would know them. But again, no reason to mock them either. JMO.

19. In a couple of years the Jonas Brother are going to be starring in a "Where are they now?" segment along with the Hanson brothers.

20. WHO CARES WHAT SEAN LENNON THINKS? HE HAS NEVER ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING IN HIS LIFE. HE LIVES OFF HIS DAD'S MONEY AND NAME ONLY.

22. Sean and Julian Lennon have spent their lives trying to BE their Dad. It hasn't worked and never will.

24. "The Beatles are way over-rated?"- go back to the womb and start over.

Sean Lennon has more talent than the Jonas Brothers and every other Disney cartoon combined- regardless of who his father was. Listen to his last album, "Friendly Fire."

And TMZ- what's wrong with the "great Gatsby?" Maybe you'd prefer the Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Amy Whinehouse looks? Why so snide? Well, if it sounds like feces, reads like feces, comes from the same source, it probably is!

27. Muffy, I don't know how old you are, but the combo of Lennon and McCartney are the best of the best when it comes to song writing. If you go back and listen to the history of the Beatles you may change your mind. If you grew up listening to boy bands and the spice girls, then I understand your comments.
And for those who say that Lennon's kids are trying to be him, they have spent most of their lives trying to prove they are not their father. Just because they look and sound like him, doesn't mean they want to be him.

28. I’m not a Jonas Brothers fan, but I do recognize envy from someone who has tried and tried to “make it” and has failed time and time again. Poor, poor overprivileged and "known for acomplishing nothing" little boy. Sure he doesn't know who the Jonas Brothers are. This guy is one of the parasites who lives on daddy's hard earned money, and daddy's hard earned fame. Dad made it in the music industry (without the aid of his parents) through his own talent. The poor little Beatle spawn has tried and tried through the years to issue a successful song, and has not succeeded becuase ------surprise ----- no talent. He pretends not to know who the Jonas Brothers are because they do have some talent and because people are actually buying their records and concert tickets. I wonder how much of John's money has gone into trying to make a silk purse out of this sow's ear?

29. Is it me, or do the Jonas Brothers look like Mr. Bean's illegitmate children? lol

30. Come on. He knows exactly who Jonas Brothers are. You don't have to listen to them to know that. What the hell has Sean done? NOTHING! He lives off of his dads name and money. I think he's jealous that some teeny boppy group is making more money than he ever could.
