Follow the bouncing Bon Jovi

Get ready to "Bounce" back with Bon Jovi.

Songs from Bon Jovi's brand new album "Bounce" were played for critics and industry types in New York City on Wednesday night. The songs played have a crunchy, hard-rock sound that retain Bon Jovi's famous arena-sized hooks and melodies. The album reflects upon the events of Sept. 11, and hints the best way to move forward is to understand that humanity must live as one, according to press materials.

The first single, "Everyday," will be released later this month.

The album will be released in Japan on Sept. 11, internationally on Sept. 23 and North America on Oct. 8.

To promote "Bounce," the Monmouth County-based Bon Jovi -- Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres -- will perform in a made-for-television concert in Times Square on Sept. 5. The show, titled "NFL Kickoff Live From Times Square," also will usher in the new NFL football season and will be shown on CBS, MTV and VH1.

A giant football will be dropped in Times Square before the start of the San Francisco 49ers-New York Giants game at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford that night, and Bon Jovi will helicopter from New York to Giants Stadium to perform at halftime of the game.

"We're going to shut down nine (streets) in New York City, and they don't do that except for New Year's Eve," said Lyor Cohen, chairman of Island Records, Bon Jovi's record label.

The group will commence a world tour following the release of "Bounce."

Last Sunday, Bon Jovi surprised patrons at Joe Pop's on Long Beach Island by singing an impromptu rendition of his hit "Wanted Dead or Alive" with the band Daddy Pop.

"He and his wife Dorothea were in the club with a couple of friends," said Daddy Pop vocalist Liz Schubert, Toms River. "He was nice enough to get onstage and sing with us. People were pretty much leaving him alone, but as time went on, everyone was on their cell phones.

"It was really fun."

I think you posted late. She posted almost two years ago.

My friend has a house on Long Beach Island and we were there for a weekend last year. She wanted to go to a club and I wanted to go low key and hang out at the bar that was next door to her house. She won and we went to a club. The next night we went to the bar I wanted to go to and I heard the bartender talking about somebody famous being in the bar the night before. I asked who and he said Jon Bon Jovi, Dorothea and friends. I was actually sitting in the same seat Jon was. They were there the night I wanted to go! I was so mad! My friend bought my drinks for the rest of the weekend!



KTF!
