Bon Jovi: Bits and Pieces

Bunch of stuff today, little stories so here's one big post.


Q: Did Tom Cruise ask Jon Bon Jovi for rock-star pointers? —K. Kim, New Jersey

A: Yes—the actor, 49, turned to the singer (also 49) for tips on his role in the film version of Rock of Ages (a musical based on the hair metal bands of the ’80s). Bon Jovi’s advice to Cruise? Relax and rely on his movie-star charism

Undated -- On August 14th, 1958, Elvis Presley's mother, Gladys, died of a heart attack.

In 1971, Rod Stewart released "Maggie May."

In 1985, Michael Jackson outbid Paul McCartney for the ATV music publishing catalog, which included many Beatles songs. Jackson paid $47.5 million dollars.

In 1989, Bon Jovi's "New Jersey" was the first American album to be released legally in what was then the Soviet Union.

Friday and yesterday (8/12 - 8/13) was the anniversary of the Moscow Music Peace Festival.  So New Jersey was released AFTER they played in Moscow.

And here's a picture of Mike Rew from Music Radar, I personally LOVE his shirt.
