Well, with that typo you ****ed up one of the most clever lines in Jovi lyrics, with all the possible meanings. Dear John -letters, WW2, The Beatles...

and who gives a shit?

http://www.metrolyrics.com/why-arent...-bon-jovi.html
http://www.mp3lyrics.org/b/bon-jovi-...-bon-jovi/why/
http://www.songlyrics.com/bon-jovi/w...u-dead-lyrics/
http://www.poplyrics.net/WAIGUO/bonjovi/111.htm

With all the websites I checked telling me 'Jon' is the lyric so what am I supposed to think? its hardly me ****ing up the lyrics when anywhere I check tells me it's JON.
I mean sorry if your so offended over 1 missing 'h', but the word still sounds the freaking same.

I'm beginning to think the lyrics is 'Dear Jon' because none of the places Ive checked have it as John.

Sadly, I can.

BTW, don't bother putting my name to it. I'll discuss it here, but Jon has officially become unworthy of any more of my time wasted on his bullshit tour promises.

Exactly. People don't get the cultural reference in a rock song.

Unfortunately, that includes the official site. I prefer your take on it though and the official site has plenty of mistakes/typos.
