Considering Jon still has a Springsteen poster hanging on his wall, this surprises me very little. I mean he even plays the same Telecaster for God's sake... why not ask Patti Scialfa out for dinner and drinks?
Some of you guys are getting soft in our old age. Bon Jovi would have been boo'ed off the stage opening for Ratt in 1985 had they played this song. This one will be covered by Mylie Cyrus on her next album, I guarantee
All middle of the road BJ fans will lap this up. Alas I do believe that a return to their more rocking roots is unlikely to happen.
You are correct, sir. The soccer-moms and their now early teenaged daughters love Jon, buy his t-shirts, bumper stickers, Keep The Faith lucky rabbit's feet keychains and $1,000.00 VIP seats at the Garden.
I'd buy a single copy of his new CD if it was good, and a scalper seat for $20.00 in the nosebleeds to see the band if they came to Portland. Easy choice as to his current target audience.
Please keep in mind, I was a HUGE fan at one time, so do not label me a hater... he simply left me (and those like me) behind, and I'm cool with that. When I want to wax nostalgiac I pull out Slippery and fade back in time to the summer of 1987. GOOD TIMES my friends!
AGREE!
