Bon Jovi rocks

In case you missed it, I'm a big fan of Bon Jovi. It's really my brother's fault. When he was in high school and I was in 2nd grade — you know, when Bon Jovi was the hot thing — he listened to them, drummed to them and even had Bon Jovi VHS tapes. (Sorry, Kevin, the world has to know.)


I blame that early influence on my continued love of the group. I saw them last year in D.C., and when I heard they were coming back, I jumped at the chance to go. So six of us saw him tonight. (Yes, we missed the Oscars for this but it sounds like we didn't miss much.)

At left, you'll see Bon Jovi strutting across the stage. I had to compare it to a chicken strutting, though I'm sure he was aiming for a sexier comparison.

I loved it. Love the songs. And Jon Bon Jovi is hilarious. He's definitely an entertainer, and he knows how to get an arena full of 40-year-old women to scream for him.

These were the best seats I've had for a Bon Jovi concert yet, so I got some shots where you can almost see him. :) I wonder how much those floor seats in the inner circle of the stage cost. ...

And below, is "Keep the Faith," with Bon Jovi playing the maracas. Some of us were discussing that a Bon Jovi aerobics video could come quite naturally from his show. He does a lot of jazz hands and fist-pumping.
