Jon Bon Jovi Turns 60 Today

Today is Jon Bon Jovi's 60th birthday and this just makes me feel old. Bon Jovi is still hot but during the glam heyday, he was just drop dead gorgeous. Basically every woman I've ever met thinks Jon is one of the most attractive men on the planet! Now I'm early 40s middle aged and he's... old? Or older? I do truly believe age is just a number and you are only as old as you feel. Still, seeing the tweet from Bon Jovi (below) kind of felt like a gut punch to me.

Of course, I had to pop on some classic Bon Jovi to celebrate. Off I went to Amazon music and immediately pulled up Slippery When Wet. Such a great album. "Wanted Dead or Alive" is one of the single best rock songs ever recorded. It is definitely a top 5 "road song" across every genre. Plus "Never Say Goodbye" is a totally underrated power ballad. I hope Jon has a fabulous birthday celebration, worthy of a multi-zillionaire.

The happiest of birthdays and lots of love to the one and only, @jonbonjovi!! Leave him some birthday love in the replies! 🥳 pic.twitter.com/4bhyu9OBJD

Icon. Wish he would still rock. Springsteen he ain’t. Garth Brooks he ain’t. He’s Bon Jovi. The aging persons (wink wink) that swooned in ‘86 need him to rock more than ever.

Lol. There is no woman below the age of 40, that finds this tool "as one of the most attractive men in America". Lmao at such nonsense. He has sucked for over 2 decades and his music has sucked even more.

Something that he regrets are his tattoos. He says that they were a moment in time when he felt 1) on top of the world and believed he was untouchable 2) a cowboy, wanted dead or alive 3) and the dragon around his ankle, because at that point, he was dragging.

[fletch]

got a tattoo. It shouldn't define you.

Thank goodness Bkallday finally spoke up for women everywhere! If ever they needed a spokesperson, he was the one.

And I get it: Bkallday was speaking up for 'women under 40'. You know, you can only do right by so many people at one time!!!

Kixchix, he can still rock. Just once a night (twice a week). And at a slightly lower, um, err, register? I kid. The guy croaks like a frog live (and he wasn't exactly crooning like Sinatra a decade ago!!!).

Fletch, I disagree. Tattoos do define you. What you put in ink should be there forever. If you remove it, you regret it. If you keep it (and I have), even if it embarrasses you now, you are at least holding true to the proposition that your mistakes are yours, and they are there for all the world to see (or, in some cases, parts of the world).

Hey Him, since you consider yourself the "all-knowing"(lmfao), why don't you ask some ladies under 40 and get back to me? I won't hold my breath, chief. I'm sure my 25 year old daughter had no clue what she was talking about when she first said, "Who?", and then i showed her his pic and she said, "ooooh he's old and gross". But i will trust your omniscience, as im totally sure you have your pulse on what all the ladies under 40 are interested in! (eye roll)

[Bkallday]

*fingers on the pulse

[Him]

I am a chief now, Bkallday? Thanks for the promotion! Yikes! Your sample size is relatively small and kinda' country . . . your own kid. And why are you showing your grown daughter pictures of men and asking them questions? Seems kinda', well, iffy. Have you tried board games? Watching TV together? You know, normal interactions?

Never said, nor would I, that I know everything. That would be stupid. And my pulse, fingers on or off it, is doing well. Thanks.

But I appreciate the fire, Bkallday. Always do. Hope you are well.

PS: I love how you do blocking for your own posts. Do you also write plays? [Exits, slowly, stage left]

[Bkallday]

How does someone go about “blocking for your own posts”, exactly? And it’s fine that you’re bi and find Bon Jovi hot yourself. This is 2022 and men liking men is totally accepted these days! But I’ll stick with my comments about no woman under 40 thinking he’s one of the most attractive men on the planet. But props to you for still finding him hot!

[Him]

Ah, the old playbook is dusted off and adorable.

Blocking is a stage term, not as in "I am going to block myself on this site." It is also not related to chopping, chips off the old, or heads. My apologies for being vague.

The other stuff? You give and you take away in one fell swoop. You dodge and weave, mixing a splash of progressive with a touch of regressive, all the while slamming me for, what, well, hmm? Nothing I actually said? Classic Bkallday! When confused, insult.

Can I still call you my BBG! friend from Kentucky? Can I? Appreciate your passion, as always.

What the hell happened with these comments???? 😝

[Him]

Jack, they were actually on-point. I called out something. There was a response. And it didn't make sense. So I responded. I do that, occasionally.

Rock on Ripper.
