Bon Jovi, 'Legendary' - Lyric Video
Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 01:40PM
Bon Jovi now has a lyric video for their new single "Legendary." From the upcoming album Forever. I think lyric videos are the modern version of liner note lyrics sheets. I mean, most folks don't buy physical media anymore and everyone is attached to a cellphone, meaning lyric videos are always at hand.

Like many artists of his era, his vocals are toast. And some were toasted bread before unexpected health-related vocal issues and surgeries. Still others were hampered by a clear disregard for their 'instrument'. And, yeah, age. That's a thing too. Meine will eventually just whisper until the crowd chants back: "WHAT!?!?!?!" By the way, the former is 62 and the latter is 75. We ain't talking about massive upswings in what they can do, somewhat independent of the causes.
As Jeff suggests, this is fodder for the fans who still like his band and still don't mind his pivot to generic sounds and filled-in vocals, not a recent occurrence on either count. And, if you like it, cool. Here's the thing, though. I hope he retires and spares his fans and his legacy the harm, even if he can still pull in good enough numbers. And I give him credit: he seems to suggest that is a real option . . . unless, of course, it is just a way to build interest and sell more tickets to fans who love the Hoarse with a Name.
================================
Old and tired, set to implode in a heap.
I'm not wired.
Cause, old lady, I can't keep the beat.
I can go lower than you ever knew.
Then look at my arthritic knees.
Please pick me up; I've had enough.
You fans have been burned before, lesson learned.
In and out of tune.

Hope everyone is well. Still a regular reader.
I still really, really love this site. But I am winded and not feeling like posting a lot.
