I think the election may have influenced the song as he said:

'...I realized you couldn't be a sore loser and you couldn't be a sore winner. From Nov. 3 on, we need to come together as a country.'

Nov. 3rd was election day. No?


I don't agree with this comment by the reporter:

'AP: There is music on this album that people don't traditionally expect to hear from Bon Jovi. For example, 'Story of My Life.' Was that a conscious decision to depart from the band's rock sound?'

Depart from the band's rock sound? Has this guy ever listened to Bon Jovi? I thought this was the throw back track of the CD like 99ITS. This tune is arguably in like a 6 way tie for the best track on the CD. What a chump.
