Okay sometime after 9/11 Ed did a show where he mentioned Bon Jovi as a 40 year old butt rocker and he knew everything would be okay.

what show was this, I got a friend that’s a diehard Bon Jovi fan and want to play this snippet for her

    An internet search says its apparently from the Wiltern in 2002. Details.......

    It was somewhere between the ukulele songs and the return to guitar when Ed paused and mentioned that he saw a bit of the Closing Ceremonies for the Olympics while he was packing to fly down here. He said that, what with everything that has been going on, how reassuring it was to look up and see Bon Jovi with an American flag draped around his shoulders. As well as the lead guitarist wearing a fur lined coat. "I realized that a 40 year old butt rocker with an American flag around his neck was America's symbol to the world, and I felt better..."

    Not a Bon Jovi fan but he is one rocker who does as much charity as Ed,  He is very involved in Jersey and Philly helping the homeless. I think he is a good man

    I can second this... here in Monmouth County Bon Jovi and his wife do a ton for charity.  Among other things they run the Soul Kitchen... a restaurant that benefits the homeless.  Great food for a great cause.

    Yes he is, might not be music we love, but the man has done wonderful things for those in NJ/PA.  That being said, I will never discard his rock stardom and his success.  He is a good man who has given back.  Can't ask for anything more.

    Last year, someone tweeted a picture of JBJ washing dishes at Soul Kitchen. I like talking shit as much as anyone but any time I hear that someone can be humble and pay forward some of their good fortune in life, they will not get any grief from me.

    The cool thing about that restaurant is that you basically only pay what you can afford.  If your down on your luck you don’t have to pay anything.
