November 5th…. BON JOVI!!!!! WAHOOOOEEEE!!!!
I get to see these guys about every two years and I LIVE for it!! As the Jersey boys remind me that, “I’m not old, just older” and that “when I look in the mirror, I don’t hate what I see. There’s a few more lines, staring back at me”.
I’ve rocked out to their songs since I was 19….so let’s just say, I’ve loved my Jersey Boys for decades!!! I brought my kids up on their ballads and I made sure Bon Jovi was their first concert (like it or not, yes it was shoved down their throats, but so was prayer. It’s a good thing)…ha ha…. Besides you never forget your first concert!
The coolest thing was one year, I brought my daughter, Hope to see them.
She really only wanted to go to see the opening act, I think it was Nickelback. She made it very clear that she was only going because she wanted to see Nickelback. I’m like, “Whatever”…. As soon as Bon Jovi hit the stage, she went NUTS!! Jumping up and down, singing to every song and totally loving it!!! I was kinda proud, she knew every word to every song!! Yea, I know, she HAD to know every word to every song, she was raised on it. But, to see her singing loud and proud, made me smile. (P.S. She caught Richie’s guitar pick at that show). So now, whenever the Boys come to town, it’s a family affair.
All of us go – me, Michael, Hope, and Phillip – Hubby still has a chip on his shoulder about Jon, so he sits these shows out. I have NO idea why...hey.... how did THAT photo get in there!?!??!LOL
So I will be “Living on a Prayer” hoping to meet them one day and I will make sure I don’t take any “Bad Medicine” when I get geared up for the show. I’ll “Keep the Faith” and tell everyone to “Have a Nice Day”. “Who says you can’t go home?!” When Jovi is in town, I’m HOME!!! J This is CORNEY I know, but I couldn’t help myself. LOL
Xoxo,
A
