Bon Jovi: It has a name?

Most of this article goes onto to talk about how popular music put artists into Genre's and maybe they should expand "Rock" to include artists like Eminem or Lil Wayne.

But this is the most interesting paragraph:

It’s time to stop using “rock” as a catch-all term for popular music

Rock’s poor chart performance in 2010 was part of an ongoing downward sales trend that goes back to at least to the turn of the century. On Billboard’s list of the top artists of the ’00s, which was compiled using data from the albums and Hot 100 singles charts, only one rock band ranked in the Top 10: Nickelback. Two other bands, Creed and Linkin Park, squeaked into the lower reaches of the Top 20, thanks mainly to popular releases from earlier in the decade. The only Billboard chart where rock did well was the Top Touring Artists list, but the long-term commercial prognosis for the genre wasn’t exactly rosy there, either. Four out of the top five road warriors were rock acts, but all of them—The Rolling Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Elton John—are old enough to be Adele’s parents (or grandparents). The youngest of the top touring rock groups, Bon Jovi, is still primarily known as an ’80s band geared toward big-haired housewives who name their vibrators “Richie.”

Ok, before I start on that last sentence, why do women sleep and then neglect to use birth control in order to get pregnant by Lil Wayne?  He has like 20 kids by 16 mothers, there's no long term child support money there.

Anyway.  Bon Jovi is the youngest group, which I'm sure makes Jon's ego happy.

The 80's label will never go away to most people no matter how incorrect it is.

But how many of you have Vibrators named Richie? 

Or Jon, or David, or Tico? 

I mean its not the most ridiculous thing I've heard being named, my co-worker named her Thanksgiving turkey Pasqual since she was going to be spending 3 days with it, loving it and plying it with spices and wine before she cooked it (and she's a vegetarian so she doesn't even eat it).
