Day 30 - It's All Over...

Day 30 - Anything you want...

I'm going to have to give this last shout out to the fans of Bon Jovi.  I don't think there are any like them in the world.

An example:  We were at Chicago #1 this summer, and my friend had a migraine.  The lights were killing her and she approached a woman, asking to buy her sunglasses.  The woman said, "Absolutely not, but take them and use them.  It's all about the love of the guys."

I think that sums it up...

I'm headed to Pittsburgh this weekend for two - count 'em TWO - Jovi shows, and I can't WAIT!! Check back for videos and pics next week...

Happy Monday :o)

Day 29 - Feelin' the Love

Day 29 - Reasons you Love Bon Jovi

As far as the musical group Bon Jovi - it's all about the Jon & Richie harmonies!  Those two men and a couple of acoustic guitars rule my musical world.  I get lost in it every time!

Now for the MEN of Bon Jovi - who wouldn't love them?  They're all good, down to earth guys who give back some of what has been given to them.  *shrug*  It's a no-brainer.

Only one more day left!!  EEEP!

Day 28 - The Cities

Day 28 - The cities/places you've seen Bon Jovi

I feel like this is a repeat of previous days, so I'm making an executive decision (a la CEO JBJ) and changing it.

Based on a conversation I had with some Twitter friends last week, I'm making today's challenge:  A Bon Jovi performance that you WON'T watch.

Unplugged 2007.  One of the saddest things I've ever seen in my life.  The only good thing I take away from that taping is Jon talking about the magic when he and Richie sing well together.  But it wasn't that night.  That wasn't Richie.  Not REALLY.

So I pretend it doesn't exist and think about how good the band looks now and the awesome tours they've put on since then.  They seem like they're doing well - except for Jon's perpetual boredom anyway!  LOL.

See ya tomorrow!

Day 27 - Jovi Ink

Day 27 - Would you ever consider getting a Bon Jovi inspired tattoo?

Well, that would be a yes.  As a matter of fact I did.

March 6, 2010, which you may notice coincides with a concert date in Las Vegas.  I got my ink about 3 pm at a place way off the strip, and was back at the MGM Grand by showtime.  What did I get?  It's not too daring or original, but it suits me quite nicely: Classic Jovi logo, with a nod to my favorite member.  It's timeless and one I'll never regret having...

Oh, and by the way, I'm not a body art kinda girl.  It is and will probably always be my only tattoo.

Day 26 - Ink on Jovi

Here's a two-fer for ya.  Courtesy of the Charlotte show in April, 2010.  I'm becoming more and more drawn to their ink...  (no pun intended)

Day 25 - The Logo

Day 25 - Your favorite Bon Jovi logo.

I think this is a strange question, but maybe I'm just overthinking it.  To me, the logo is the heart and dagger.  Period.  And since I'm going to be wearing it the rest of my life, that's what I'm going to have to go with.

Just for funsies though, when I google 'bon jovi logo' the heart and dagger shows up (obviously), along with the HAND smirk and this one.  Whether it's true or not, this one is the old school Captain Kidd design in my mind:

I will say that I enjoyed the Halloween logo the marketing guys came up with this year though.  Very clever...

Day 24 - The Lyrics

Day 24 - Favorite Bon Jovi Lyric

This is going to come as the greatest shock to you, and I'm sorry.  But I really CAN identify ONE favorite lyric!  It stands out from the rest of the song for me every time and it's one of those stupid things I keep in the back of my head to take out and play with when I'm waffling with a decision.

From the song Just Older, on the Crush album:

"You can't win until you're not afraid to lose"
