Hey, MT (XOXOXOXOXOXO) ~
On a more serious note, I've never seen the series, "Kingdom" - and I don't know if it is any good, or not. I always thought the Jonas' brothers' music was kind of fun and pop-cute, especially when they sang retro-themed stuff. (Though any of my friends who are on here can tell you, that isn't my real taste in music. I'm all about the symphony and the opera. But I don't mind a little musical "bubble-gum", from time to time):
*************************************
But, what I CAN tell you, MT, is:
*Yes, Nick is a type-1 diabetic, reliant on daily and regular insulin. Diagnosed when he was 17, I believe.
*He has written about it, talked about it in his concerts, and has worked (and does work) tirelessly to raise funds for research and treatment for kids with diabetes, and has gone many, many times to the bedside of newly-diagnosed diabetic kids to encourage them, and cheer them up.
*He has his own fundraising foundation. Which has raised lots of money for research and treatment.
************************************************** **
MT:
*While I do not have diabetes yet (though I'm so fat, I SHOULD have 'type-II'): I had a dear friend who died from type-1 diabetes, and I have friends who raise money for children with diabetes. So, I do care about this cause.
*While I do not know Nick (and never will). . . without disclosing details here, I want to tell you that Nick and his foundation assisted some friends and I to raise $30,000 for diabetes research and treatment for children here in northern Canada - and it was a purely generous act, on their part. (Believe it or not, it is true.)
************************************************** *
So, I want to tell you, MT - apart from whether he is cute or not (he is, just like Johnny said!); and apart from whether he is musically talented or not (I think he is, MT - above and beyond the whole "Jonas brothers" show, Nick was a great success on Broadway, particularly when he appeared in the revival of
How to Succeed in Business, Without Really Trying). . . .
Nick Jonas is a really, really kind and decent person. And HE HAS used his fame to help people, all he can. Whatever his successes (or failures) in show business, I have
immense respect for him, as a human being.
"A" XOXOXOXOXOXO
