Here are a few things I "Believe" about Bon Jovi:
1.) Quite possibly the greatest post heavy-metal, heavy metal band of all time
2.) Quite possibly the worst post heavy-metal, pansy rock band of all time
3.) Defintely the heavy-metal band to have the greatest success after chopping off the long hair-band locks
4.) Nothing is more fun to sing in the car than Bon Jovi (except Journey and maybe Tom Petty)
5.) Thanks to them (and later Zack Braff), Jersey is the most depressing place in the known universe
6.) At least 3 out of 4 members nailed "the dish" on tour
7.) Richie Sambora is awesome
8.) JBJ is NOT aging naturally
9.) Lost Highway is a fairly sweet movie
10.) I've seen this band live more than any other (except Bob Dylan - its a tie, is that weird?)
Bon Jovi is like Hollywood, you love it, you poke fun at it, but you don't necessarily want to know the truth behind the idea. I mean come on, who gives a shit what really happened? We just want to scream "Bad Medicine" at the top of our lungs! Not empathize with a whining rock star about his regretable drug use and love for his wife who stood by him -that's boring. Reality is lame. Your fans are in it for the power ballads, not the conversation, so don't waste our time...
Therefore, I "Believe" I'll skip the biography. But you can bet your ass I'll be in the nose-bleeds for the next tour! Mock me if you must, but at the end of the day, aren't we all just living on a prayer?
PS: Wouldn't it be awesome if Journey opened for them?

If Journey opened for them, we would be getting a VW bus and following them around on tour!
