I'm trying immensely hard not to let my hatred for everything this guy and his song stand for interfere in my review of the situation...



Ok, I honestly don't think the band stole his song, mainly because I Love This Town is basically full of Bon Jovi cliches, and it seems to clearly be about Jon's little love affair with Nashville. That being said, the theme of the two songs is similar. As far as MLB/TBS, I guess it's possible that they could have first planned to use his song, but I doubt it. Everything about this seems circumstantial at best. For example, the time aspect could be that the video was originally cut to his song, however the MUCH MORE LIKELY scenario is that they simply edited down ILTT so as not to have over 4 minute commercials/promos. Then again, I guess anything's possible.
