via Tonga and Minneapolis, the Wolfgramm siblings usurped the name of New York's storied green-garbed football team and turned themselves into a hit machine worthy of teenage adoration and gyration. there exists a state of music called bubblegum pop, where everything is perfect and eternal, and very few pop artists achieve this state, and even fewer stay in it. the Jets (who are still doing performances from time to time to date) encapsulated their careers by being in this zone. if that's not enough, they also have three things going for them: (1) they knew when to throw in the towel; (2) they're no slouches in musical talent and living the Minneapolis funk served them well; and the best part (3) they're not the Jacksons - do you know of any (U.S.-based) musical family that didn't disintegrate into an ego-centric, feuding, mudslinging, little-boy-molesting, drug-sniffing, scandal-ridden, discombobulated mess? case closed.
