My last post for a while!!

Do you think that when Jon & Richie wrote the songs for These Days that they were depressed!?
I have read interviews where Jon says we were "Really in great spirits" when they released the album.

To me, this album has the most sombre lyrics of all of their albums.

Jon said in an interview about Bounce in 2002 "I would describe a Bon Jovi song as 3 minutes of optimism."

Somehow I don't think the same can be applied to songs on "These Days".

I personally like to listen to it when things aren't going my way, but not when I'm happy.

I know it is a favorite album of a lot of BJ purists, but I believe 9/10 albums have been full of optimism - except for TD................just wondering why people feel that it is their favorite........
