Bon Jovi: Bon Jovi rocks for the cops in New York
It's the Tuesday after Labor Day, many of us had a long three day weekend here in The states, but some kids have to go back to school.
JBJ he still may be nursing the mother of all hang overs.
Here's another article on the same story:
I would bet money that it was Who Says You Can't Go Home.
This is the party that hosts the super dooper group (beyond super group) of JBJ, the Boss, The Piano Man, and Sir Paul.
Hmm maybe Jon could learn a little from a possible party attendant:
IT'S CURFEW BREAKING BOSS TIME.
JBJ he still may be nursing the mother of all hang overs.
At his East Hampton home in New York on Saturday night, Bon Jovi invited 60 of his closest friends, including Jack Nicholson, for his annual end-of-summer bash including a live performance and fireworks.
When the show kept raging after the local 11.00pm sound curfew, police rolled up to shut down the stage, but the diplomatic rocker invited the officers in just to squeak out one last song, the New York Post reported.
News of the rocking party follows reports the 64th birthday bash of former US President Bill Clinton at a rented Hamptons mansion ended in drama after a valuable vase was broken and a neighbor complained about parking.
The party was thrown by wife Hillary and Clinton's longtime aide Doug Band.
Here's another article on the same story:
Jon Bon Jovi invited police into his home for a private concert.
The rock star is best known as the lead singer and namesake of chart-topping US band Bon Jovi, and is famed for his love of the party lifestyle.
Jon had invited around 60 good friends, including famous faces such as the actor Jack Nicholson, to a party at his home in East Hampton, New York, at the weekend.
The rocker and his friends are believed to have been enjoying themselves so much the local police turned up to tell Jon he had surpassed the 11pm sound curfew that East Hampton residents must abide by.
Rather than put an end to his wild antics, Jon decided to invite the police officers to join the party instead, and ended up performing a Bon Jovi hit for them, the New York Post reports.
It is not known which song Jon sang for the police, although he has an extensive back catalogue with his band, whose hits include Livin’ on a Prayer and Always. After the quick performance, the officers are believed to have left the bash.
The rock star hosts this end-of-summer party annually, which usually involves live music and firework displays.

Bon Jovi: Twenty Years Ago.... this week Shot down in a Blaze of Glory...
Do you believe it??? Twenty years ago in the US this was the #1 song:
I wonder if Jon still has those pants, he also wore those pants (or a close facsimile thereof) in the I'll Be There For You Video. He wore those pants a lot and that loose shirt with the blue and white that he wore in the I'll Be There For You video as well.
The blue shirt in question can also be seen in this photo from 1988.
Here is a black & white of the blue shirt and those same brown pants together.
But I have digressed: the true motivation behind this post is to talk about Blaze of Glory.
Blaze of Glory was nominated/won the following awards:
"When Jon (Bon Jovi) joined the team for Young Guns 2, we were all eating hamburgers in a diner and Jon was scribbling on this napkin for, say, six minutes. He declared he'd written 'Blaze of Glory', which of course then went through the roof in the States. He later gave Emilio Estevez the napkin. We were munching burgers while he wrote a No. 1 song... Made us feel stupid."
He wrote it in 6 minutes. Geez! I wonder how long it took him to write Who Says You can't Go Home? 30 seconds???
Jon - "Richie, I have this lyric in my head... 'It's Alright!' We need to write a song about this and make it kind of country sounding...."
The video from the Oscars, one of the best performances of the song ever. Thankfully Jon changed out of his GOD AWFUL crushed velvet purple suit.
I want someone to go to some HRH Q&A session and just ask him what motivated him to wear a suit that made him look like Grape Ape with hair??
So listen to Blaze of Glory right now!!

Bon Jovi: A FAN GETS A LITTLE TOO ‘CHEEKY’ WITH JON BON JOVI
I can't bring the sound byte over but read the story and click the link.
If the sound byte doesn't work here's what happens (highlight the text below with your mouse to read it):
If the sound byte doesn't work here's what happens (highlight the text below with your mouse to read it):
Jon was introduced to a woman on the set of his first movie (not mentioned if this was YG2 or M&V) and she drops her pants and shows him on her ass she has a greatly detailed image of his face and the reason for this is she gets to sit on his face nightly.
This reminds me of a Monty Python song.The band Bon Jovi has been together for over 27 years. For those 27 years, they have had very devoted fans who follow the band when they are touring, and immediately buy their albums when they are released. But then there are some unique fans who really go to the extreme to express their devotion to the band.
When Fox All Access host Chris Leary caught up with Jon Bon Jovi, he described the craziest thing that a fan has ever done for him. (Click on the audio player to hear Jon Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi: Jon Bon Jovi is #4
This makes no sense to me. More after the article.
By Laura Neil
First I think Freddie would have preferred to be the Queen.
Second here's the top 9 list:
sanctimonious prick Bono, and the 'Cowardly' Kurt Cobain (If Courtney was that bad Divorce was always a better option). Queen was amazing, just watch their performance of Radio Ga Ga from Live Aid (check out Freddie's Moose Knuckle!!!):
But this is my question, how did Slash end up on this list? I'm not questioning his guitar prowess but even with Slash's Snakepit he was the guitarist not the singer (if I remember correctly). I could understand Axl being on here but then again when you're 90 minutes late to a show and pitch a fit when people get pissed off because of this, I'm glad Axl isn't on there.
So who's your favorite Front Man of all time? Besides JBJ/HRH of course? (to show his Front Man Prowess here's a video from that 12/31/1988 show in Tokyo, and it's not from the TV special it looks like it was recorded with real movie cameras).
I have strong votes for BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE and Steven Tyler. who else would you choose?

QUEEN frontman Freddie Mercury has been hailed as the greatest rock legend of all time.
The flamboyant star, who died in 1991, beat Elvis Presley to claim the title.
Mercury sold 300million records after forming Queen in 1970.
He was renowned for his charismatic stage presence during his 21 years with the band.
David Bowie, 63, was third in the survey, which was carried out by Internet market research website OnePoll.com.
Next up was Bon Jovi front man Jon Bon Jovi, 48, followed by Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Slash, 45, and Bono, 50.
A OnePoll.com spokesman said: “Freddie Mercury had it all the voice, the image, the stage presence, everything.
“He was idolised around the world by millions of fans and his legend will live on forever.
“He combined his ear for music with an ability to deliver to stadium audiences and millions were devastated when HIV finally killed him in 1991.”
First I think Freddie would have preferred to be the Queen.
Second here's the top 9 list:
- Freddie Mercury
- Elvis Presley
- David Bowie
- Jon Bon Jovi
