Bon Jovi debuts at no. 1; 1st no.1 album in 19 years

Goodness, does this make me feel old:

Guess it paid to go quasi-country. Too bad the album is schlocky shit even by their standards.

 

Somewhere Clever just threw up.

 

A girl in Milwaukee rejoiced.

 

And good people she is. She was actually the first person I thought of. Then myself, because I am insanely selfish.

 

Well, beats trouser chili, I suppose.

 

Funny, she's the first person I think of everytime Bon Jovi is referenced, too. Always.

 

Bon Jovi's been chewing asshole for what, 20 years now?

 

Yeah, I hear "box of chopped assholes" is the new delicacy.

Still my favorite SJ catchphrase.

 

Their eponymous debut album came out in 1984.

 

I suddenly feel very old, and I'm not buying this. I don't like the first single.

 

What she said.

 

Hated Bon Jovi in seventh grade when their first album came out.
Hate Bon Jovi now.

Much has changed in my life. Nice to know I can cling to one instance of consistency.

I seriously cannot think of one Bon Jovi song I've ever enjoyed. That's amazing. Even hated Rush has made a listenable song or two. Freaking Right Said Fred made a listenable song.

And when Bon Jovi tries to claim the mantle as Bruce Springsteen's equal in New Jersey rockdom, Springsteen should just haul off and kick Jon in his maudlin, ballad-loving nutsack.

And I'm not a huge Springsteen fan.
