Re-Blog: Bon Jovi Was HERE!!

Standard

Another re-blog….but you’ll see why! Have a great day everyone!

****************************************************************************************************************************

Apparently some how the boys from Jersey…the guys who used to have all that hair…the band that has wowed stadiums filled with thousands of people…CAME TO MY HOUSE! I told you they were stalking me!

They came over around 1AM Wednesday night and started playing in my front yard. They brought acoustic guitars, didn’t have a piano or drum kit so they used some empty planters and rocks from my garden. The lovely old widower across the street did not take to those noisy kids “banging around” my house and called the police.

When the police arrived I tried to explain that “BON JOVI is just STALKING ME on the radio,” but all they heard over the guitars and planters was the stalking part. So they were arrested on the spot for disturbing the peace, stalking and inappropriate use of gardening materials. They tried to keep it very hush hush but I’m sure the press will catch wind of it soon.

I did manage to get autographs…they aren’t very good since they were already in handcuffs. But I’ve got my fingers crossed that I will get copies of the mug shots.

AND, to top it all off…wait for it…that’s right April Fools.

 

This is an April Fools joke. No offense is intended. At no point was anyone in Bon Jovi, or anyone associated with the band or the organization, at my house or annoying my neighbors. Happy April Fools Day!

Bon Jovi is After Me!

***This is actually something a wrote a while ago, but I thought it might like to live here. ***

It all started a couple of years ago when they released Lost Highway. I first noticed it in the car on the way home from work. I would hear a Bon Jovi song every night, no matter what time I left the office. It made no difference if I worked late or left early, I would hear one of the band’s songs come on usually along a two miles stretch of highway.

Pretty soon every time I got in the car a Bon Jovi song was coming on or going off. If I changed the channel – there they would be again. I started to make jokes about it to my husband and my friends. My husband thought I was nuts…until that fateful weekend when we were running errands. You guessed it, every time we turned on the car there they were…change channels and the next song on…Bon Jovi. My husband started to admit that it was a little strange.

Then it moved inside. I would flip through the TV channel and there they were on Behind the Music, or on some special. There were biographies, and network news magazines interviewing Jon. Richie was going through some personal issues and it was on every channel. Even obscure movies Jon acted in were playing regularly.

It was crazy. Bon Jovi was everywhere. Even my preschooler was walking around singing “Shot Through the Heart”!

I will admit, I became slightly obsessed with them…but only because I couldn’t get away from them! I adopted a philosophy of if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em (not that I would actually join them, unless they need a former flute player). I watched the shows, my husband bought me the album. I went to YouTube and watched the videos. Jon, Richie, David and Tico began to feel like an old friends. Always there (get it….always…get it?) when I got in the car at the end of a long day.

Slowly they began to pull back. I began to think they found me less interesting. Or they were making a new album. Either way the boys from Jersey weren’t there for me (they swore those 5 words to me, didn’t they?). I faced the realization with a mixture of relief and sadness. I finally wouldn’t be hearing and seeing them 20 times a day, but they weren’t there singing to me every time I turned on the radio.

Now they are on tour with the new album, with their greatest hits and they sneaked up on me again. They’re on the radio in the morning. Jon and Richie keep popping up in a local news promo. I’m glad to see them back, but I wonder how far they will take it this time?

Where will they sneak up on me next? In the car, on TV, on Facebook or Twitter….be careful people. Runaway (get it?) Bon Jovi could be coming for you next!

***Please note, this is just meant as fun. I mean no harm to any members of Bon Jovi, their families, or anyone associated with them. ***
