Note: I’m not referring to this week’s regular issue of _People_ that has Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. I’m referring to some “special issue” for the whole month. I was standing in the express lane of the grocery store today. While waiting for my turn to pay the cashier, I noted an unusual cover of _People_. It had three young men (late teens or 20s, I’d guess), but they looked rather '80s. I couldn’t tell if the photo actually was from the '80s or if they were simply dressed/styled that way. The cover was behind another cover, so I couldn’t see who was credited nor the theme of the special issue. Being in the express lane, by the time I noticed the cover, it was time to be rung up so I didn’t have a chance to pick up the magazine itself. I’ve since checked the _People_ website and Google, but to no avail. Has anyone else seen this cover and know to what I’m referring? ---

Yes, it is [The Jonas Brothers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Brothers). Working at a supermarket (and knowing more about teen culture than a twentysomething should), I should know. ---

Thanks for the quick response. I’ve heard of The Jonas Brothers and I think I’ve heard a song or two of theirs before (I hear a lot of adult contemporary/top 40 at work) but I can’t think of any off the top of my head. What’s the theme of the special issue? ---

The special issue is all about the Jonas Brothers, their rise to fame, bios, their likes, photos, upcoming projects like the telefilm _Camp Rock_, etc. People did one for _High School Musical 2_ last year in a similar vein. ---

Oh, wow, I didn’t realize they were famous enough to have a whole issue about them. Then again, I am an ancient 23-year-old.
