Bon Jovi: Bits of useless fluffy gossip

Ok, here's some things that have been popping up in my Google Alerts.

In the "Book that shall not be named" it "alleges" that back in 1985 Jon Bon Jovi dated Diane Lane  which this is true there are pictures to prove it also, Jon briefly mentions it during this interview from a few years ago on Centerstage on the YES Network (with Yankees announcer Michael Kay) this is also the interview at the end where Jon says "...The next night you see Richie and...  My wife's always said the devil's not gonna be red and have the horns, he gonna look just like Sambora and he's gonna go... (Jon makes hand gesture gesturing a person to come closer)."



What the book goes on to say and I'm going to paraphrase so I don't have to link to anything, Jon liked that she could party, but the party was over and Jon broke up with her when he found out that she was partying with Richie Sambora.  This kind of matches up with what was said in Star Man about Richie on page 141.

Next useless gossip bit:

Heather Deen Sambora will legally be Heather Locklear again per TMZ:

Heather Locklear is finally erasing the last trace of her 12-year marriage to Richie Sambora ... his last name.

Heather -- who filed for divorce in 2006 -- filed documents on Friday in L.A. County Superior Court requesting her name officially be changed from Heather Deen Sambora to Heather Locklear.

Heather also wants the name changed ASAP ... because she claims she needs a new passport with her old name attached by the time she travels abroad on October 25.

So now you CAN get that Future Ex-Mrs Sambora shirt and not feel there still might be another legally Ex- Mrs Sambora wandering around.

Also another thing that popped up was a comment on a message board about performing fellatio on many African American Men to give Richie a Bubble Bath, and I paraphrased that since the person who wrote it was much more explicit.  I mean how do you go to boards and make comments like that?  Where does your motivation come from?

So if you're reading this, make an outrageous comment.  I'll laugh.

Bon Jovi: It's that time of year again where they get passed over for the RNR HOF

Oh joy.

Another year another Big F YOU to Bon Jovi.

Clark Collis

Yes, it’s that time of year again. On September 28, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will announce the list of nominations for 2011 induction, and countless arguments will erupt over who got nominated and didn’t deserve it, who didn’t get nominated and did deserve it, and what this whole thang we call “rock and roll” means anyway.

But why wait until then? Who do you think should be nominated (remembering that an act must have released its first single or album at least 25 years ago)? The list of eligible acts is a long one and includes T.Rex, Bon Jovi, The Smiths, Rush, Joan Jett, Ice-T, Duran Duran, Beastie Boys, Peter Tosh, Alice Cooper, and last year’s unsuccessful nominees KISS, Donna Summer, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Personally, if I had any say in the matter, I’d nominate cult British folkies Fairport Convention. But, hey, maybe that’s one of the reasons I don’t have a say in the matter.

What about you?

Here are some of the odds on favorites with my editorial comments:



Future Rock Legends predicts the following twelve eligible artists will be on the 2011 ballot:

* Beastie Boys - Beastie Boys are a lock for induction... the only question is when.
Current Induction Chances: 82% (no Sleep til induction)

* Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Rock Hall nominated RHCP last year in their first eligible year and will likely keep nominating them until they get inducted.
Current Induction Chances: 64%
(The RHCP first few hits were covers {Higher Ground & Roller Coaster of Love] this in itself pisses me off.)

* Leon Russell - Elton John is said to be lobbying strongly for Leon Russell's induction into the Rock Hall. The opinion of inductees is strongly considered by the Committee (Elvis Costello's lobbying for Wanda Jackson is a recent example).
Current Induction Chances: 8%

* T. Rex - It's time for the Rock Hall to turn its attention to the 70's.
Current Induction Chances: 57%

* LL Cool J - Like the Chili Peppers, LL Cool J was nominated in his first eligible year in 2009. With no slam dunk hip-hop acts becoming eligible this year, LL Cool J will get another chance on the ballot.
Current Induction Chances: 44% (Well if Ladies Love Cool James gets it at least there will be sexy at the event.)

* Sting - This is the first chance the Nominating Committee has had to vote on Sting (for some reason the Rock Hall didn't consider Sting eligible based on his 1982 single, "Spread a Little Happiness," and instead considers 1985's Dream of the Blue Turtles his first solo release).
Current Induction Chances: 53% (Ok, I feel if you're in once you don't deserve to get in again for awhile, Like Paul McCartney got in with the Beatles and with Wings who were not NEARLY as groundbreaking or revolutionary (no pun intended) as The Beatles. Sting should go back to the rainforest and have a Tantric Orgy)

* Donna Summer - Summer has been nominated two out of the last three years.
Current Induction Chances: 56% (SERIOUSLY?? Hot Stuff is Disco? When did this become the American Pop Music Hall Of Fame)

* Joe Tex - As we mentioned last year, Dave Marsh wrote the bio for Joe Tex over at allmusic.com. ("His raspy-voiced, jackleg preacher style also laid some of the most important parts of rap's foundation. He is, arguably, the most underrated of all the '60s soul performers associated with Atlantic Records...") Tex was previously nominated in 1998, 2006 and 2007.
Current Induction Chances: 5%

* The Chantels
Current Induction Chances: 9% (I have the Chantels - Maybe on my itunes its amazing)

* Johnny Burnette and the Rock N Roll Trio - It's difficult to predict which of the backlogged '50s and '60s performers the Nominating Committee will choose to feature in any particular year.
Current Induction Chances: 15%

* Devo - As mentioned above with T. Rex, it's time for the Rock Hall to dig into the '70s and honor the artists ahead of their time.
Current Induction Chances: 40% (Whip It Whip It Good)

* Yes - Yes could be the nominee chosen by the prog/metal subcommittee this year (they have been close before).
Current Induction Chances: 40% (YES over Rush I hope not, I have mad love for my favorite Canadian Trio)

The "Current Induction Chances" represent the artist's odds of ever being inducted into the Hall of Fame, as calculated by Future Rock Legends and its users.

Bon Jovi: What do You Got The Video



I love you youtube

BTW I have determined that the actress in the video is Scottie Thompson, for those of you that watch NCIS she played Jeanne Benoit daughter of the French Arms dealer "The Frog" and girlfriend of Tony DiNozzo. She later accused him of killing her father after she ran off to Africa.

Bon Jovi: Nominated

I haven't watched the VMA's in years, I know they were just on the other week.  But I don't think the US show has this category.

But in Europe they have a Moon Man for Best Live Act.

And guess who's nominated!!!

Joining Lady Gaga in the Best Live act category are Muse, Kings Of Leon, Linkin Park and Bon Jovi.

No wonder why you folks in Europe get better set lists.  I doubt their going to win though, I predict Muse.  Even though I got to see them when the opened for U2, I wasn't impressed.  Sorry that's my opinion.  I'm slightly over all things Lady GaGa.
