I can relate so many different aspects of my life to Bon Jovi. There is a song for every major memory I have from when I was only 14 and started listening to them. I remember my boyfriend way back then, he introduced me to Jovi. He used to wear this New Jersey t-shirt with a picture of Jon on the front. I used to love it when he wore it, which he knew, so he would wear it all the time for me (he got a lot more physical contact on those particular days LOL). The whole of the New Jersey album in fact reminds me of him. He was my first love (awwww ... lol).
The Keep the Faith tour was my first concert. It was 1992, I was 16, and me and 2 girlfriends went down to Melbourne by ourselves. It was a huge night for us as we all were completely obsessed with him! We had the best time, and I remember writing down the entire songlist the minute I got home so I could remember the concert forever! I still remember it .. it was awesome. I remember being able to see all Jon's tattoos in detail, that's how close we were!
This time though, I will be even closer! Front Row!! I have waited 17 years for this and I am as excited as I was when I was 16!
A lot of people will scoff at this, whether they are scoffing because they don't like Bon Jovi, or they just don't understand the association part of it, but music has been such a HUGE part of my life for such a long time, and if you name a Bon Jovi song, I will have a memory attached to it. The latest album, Lost Highway, already has been associated with a few moments in my life of late ...
I am also happy to be able to say that little Smirnoff will be able to say that her/his first concert was Bon Jovi ... at almost 33 weeks gestation! Rock On!!!
