i got its my life just over 3 years ago (3 years + a few weeks i think)
they do seem to have all sorts of fans - at hyde park there were men and women and adults and teenagers and kids. i didnt have a problem with richie's trousers and lots of others didnt, but some did, so they have relaxed fans and uptight fans too. i dont think parents should think that richie's pants ruined the show for their kids - the kids might not have been able to read it, and if they could read it, they might not have understood it, but if they could understand it they might have thought it was funny. i know lots of ppl who knew the f-word when they were kids, and they thought it was kinda funny, and theyd probably have found richies pants funny.
anyway bon jovi are definiately better role models than britney spears. they dont need to have boob jobs to sell more records

bon jovi made it through talent, britney spears made it through being manufactured and posing nude and all that, plus having hype... remember when she went out with justin timberlake? someone told me that shed heard that they were never in love, but they had the same record company, and they wanted to get more publicity so theyd sell more records and make more money, so they told them to pretend to be going out. bon jovi have never done that!
