I've been calling it my mid-life crisis, and that probably isn't too far off. Oh well, I guess it's cheaper than a convertible! Although . . . blasting Jovi while driving a convertible sounds like more fun than while driving my minivan! Hmmmm . . .
Oh, I wouldn't say that. I've been driving a minivan for years while blasting BJ. Now I drive an suv and still blast BJ. I was the same, never went nuts over one band. I liked all different bands, now I'm so addicted to BJ, that I hardly play anything else. If that's a mid life crisis, so be it. I'm a happier wife and mother for it.

Have a Nice Day hooked me up(you see, I'm one of those younger fans, I'm only 15) but in my country ITM was the biggest hit in 2000, and maybe only rock song that was played in night clubs and discos...but after hearing HAND I became addicted to this band

I remember hearing IML on the radio when Crush came out, and I remember liking the song, but I didn't know who did it or anything...then I was watching Oprah one day and Bon Jovi was on.....they played You Give Love a Bad Name and I was hooked. I went out and bought HAND and then I got on amazon.com and ordered all their other albums....(and they were playing a show in my city a month or so after this, and that's when I became officially obsessed).

and the rest, they say, is history.

It's My Life. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

It was actually after getting the Crush Tour DVD that I became *ahem*obsessive*ahem* though, which was a little while after hearing IML... but that's the song that got me interested.

I took one old cd called "Masters Of Rock"... Bad Name was in it...
Liked it, but wasn't too excited...
Then I heard IML on the radio, but I didn't know who is singing...but I liked the voice...
Then I heard it again when I knew it was Bon Jovi...an heard Prayer and I thought they had some good rock tunes...

And than Always came and rest is history...

Thanks to my cousin it was You give love a bad name and then I heard It's My Life on my own and that did it too.

From there I bought Crossroad the videos and In these Arms was the song that made me buy Keep the Faith and the rest of their catalogue because I was so impressed with every album.

IML for me. That song was fantastic when it came out and I still love it now.
