My family, especially my sis and my mom are usually the ones that razz me about being a fan because they think I like them because of Jon and his @ss. I have learned to ignore it cause they just don't know any better.

My friends and classmates are more understanding, and most of them think Bon Jovi is a good band and at least like some of their songs. The people that do make fun of me for it usually like rap, hip-hop, and techno. That proves to me that they just don't know what real heartfelt music is. When I am asked what my fave band is, I always answer Bon Jovi! I'm not ashamed, why should I be? Their opinions don't matter to me and I just ignore their childish ignorance.

Well - I'm in that age group and I'm still a fan. My all time favorites -Zeppelin - aren't even making music anymore. I am a rock fan and I doubt that I will change anytime soon.

Oh and Christine - I should have said - but I am also a Southside Johnny fan. I tried to buy tickets to his last concert here in Morristown and couldn't get any

Here are some encuntered opinions. Some friends like it, some hate it (me I just don't give a.....!!) because .

My mom doesn't like it because she says it's too noisy. I'm trying to make my little sister (10 yrs old) and brother (6 years old) into Bon Jovi.

Today a classmate borrowed my "Bounce". A while ago I was listening Milton Keynes '93 bootleg (I believe, specifically), another classmate heard, he told "That's so cool, who is that??" then I told "Bon Jovi"..... and he told me "I DON'T like Bon Jovi".... see?

In high school my friends used to give me and Dan shit for liking BJ. It got on my nerves a bit but I just ignored them. There mighty reasons for not liking BJ were things like; they are a girls band, they only play ballads, and blah blah blah. I'm sure you get the picture. Most of my friends like rock like AC/DC, Metallica, G'n'R, and Blink 182, and a bunch of others.

But a few years down the track, I notice that they know the words to quite a few songs like Wanted, Prayer, Bad name, Bad medicine, etc. So I reckon there just scared to admit that they like them.

But my parents take the piss out of me as well, and I'm not really gonna say gonna get in an argument with them about it. I'll just go and leave the house in a mess so they can clean it up.

Other times I'll try to explain to people that they aren't so bad for this and that reason. If they do or don't understand, I'd probably slap 'em.

Someone just asked me today how long I've been a fan and said that he thinks BJ are really good - that always makes me happy. If people say something bad about BJ I just say that they are entitled to their own opinion - I certainly don't have to agree...
Amen to that, sista! You and me = the Dansih Jovi-twins

At least once every single day. How do I respond: I don't...that's what they want.

Ive been put down a lot and in public for liking Jovi. The usual put down is OH you dont like them, what a joke, I either ignore them or ask them what they are into , they usually then respond with some crap band that you can understand what they are singing, so thats what I say.

I gave up trying to convince other people that Jovi do some good music and are very talented a long time ago. Bottom Line is that i like their music so let the rest get on with it!

At the beginning there were some people who laughed about me coz I like Bon Jovi but now most listen to it, too, and the ones who don't don't put the others down because of it...they grew up...
