the song Runaway hit, the "higher ups" thought
Jon should have a more user friendly name which
would be easy to remember.
2. Tico's clothing line is for children. It is
calledRock Star Baby. Click here to see a
promotional picture of Jon with one of the Rock
Star babies.
3. The tenative title for Jon's screenplay is One
Wild Night. It is appartently about the adult
activity of swinging..
4. Jon and Richie's unrehearsed, acoustic
performance of Wanted and Livin' on a Prayer at
the '89 MTV Video Music Awards is what sparked
MTV's series Unplugged.
5. a.) Always was inspired by the movie script,
Romeo is Bleeding. Jon read this script and
wrote Always for it. When he saw the movie,
he yanked the song out of it because it(the
movie) was awful.
b.) The song You Had Me at Hello was obviously
inspired by the movie Jerry Maguire!
c.) Jon and his wife, Dorthea were watching
Meet Joe Black at the movie theatre when the
star of the movie, Brad Pitt, said the line,
"thank you for loving me." Hence another Bon
Jovi hit was born!
6. Jon's official title in the movie Young Guns II
was "Pit Inmate who gets shot in the back." Be
careful. If you blink, you just might miss him. I
find the DVD great for picking him out.
7. Jon received an honorary degree from Monmouth
University in the spring of 2001. His degree
reads as follows, Doctorate of Humanities
Honoris Causa. So now there really is a "doctor
in the house!"
8. Matt LeBlanc appeared in Jon's video, Miracle
from the Young Guns II album and he also
appeared in Say It Isn't So as a jilted boyfriend.
9. The only song on any Bon Jovi album which does
not have a members input is She Don't Know Me
from their debut album Bon Jovi. Jon has said
that he will never perform this song again
because of this reason.
10. When this song was first written, it was a ballad.
Jon hated it and refused to add it to the Slippery
When Wet album, until Bruce Fairbairn upped
the tempo and introduced the voice box. The
song... Livin' on a Prayer. Hate to think what
would have happened if Jon got his way.
