Default Dr. Sambora...
Here's a little snippet of an article I read today in the Bergen Record (our newspaper here in North Jersey):

So what's the best way to celebrate academic achievement at graduation? How about giving a dropout rock star an honorary degree?

That's the route Kean University took when it presented Richie Sambora, guitarist for Bon Jovi, with a doctorate of humane letters at it's graduation this month. Sambora, 44, was a lackluster student at the school in Union for three semesters before dropping out.

Kean officials said they chose Sambora for his philanthropic work - helping 9/11 victims - as well as his rock stardom. His commencement address focused on the need for perseverance but he also took time to revel in his pop culture celebrity. "Hey, did I happen to mention that I'm married to Heather Locklear?" Sambora asked the graduates.



KTF!
