Lisa worked back in the day at Rolling Stone and Hit Parader (do they even make Hit Parader anymore? or Metal Edge? Am I dating myself?) She interviewed Jon.
Here are her thoughts on that interview:

WEEKENDER: You interviewed a lot of bands during your time at Rolling Stone and Hit Parader — who was the worst to interview?

LAMPANELLI: I had the worst time with Jon Bon Jovi only because I was unprepared, and he must have been tired because he was so boring to talk to. Now I know he probably had to sit through 80 press interviews with some douche who doesn’t know anything about their music.
I’m such an idiot, I’m reading his bio, and it says he learned how to play the harp for this album, right? And I’m like, “Wow, that’s like the hardest instrument to learn.” And I asked him about it, saying that it must have been really hard to learn to play harp, and he was like, “Yeah, it’s easy to pick up.” And I was like, “You’re a musical genius then because I’ve heard it’s one of the hardest instruments to play.”
It was the f--king harmonica. That’s what they call a frigging harmonica. I was, like, the biggest dick in the world, so he knew I knew nothing about music, and I was like, “OK, I’ve got to get out of this business.” I blame myself — and maybe Bon Jovi’s being tired. He gets a little of the blame.
