"Last Man Standing is from an observation I made on tour," said Bon Jovi. "It's about the state of the music business. I imagined myself as a carnival huckster standing outside a carnival tent. I'm bringing people in to see the freak show, because he's the last man standing.
"I think I was venting a little too much of my anger at the record industry these days which is a mere shell of the thing that I loved. And, um, in this day and age, I feel bad for the 20-year-old kid that was going to walk in through the doorway of a radio station the way I did when I was a young man in Jersey, because these days, they've got these machines programming these radio stations and the DJ is out on the street looking for work and the record companies are giving the stuff away and they're becoming one, one big old, big brother machine. And so, maybe I'm a little bitter, but I don't think there's going to be too many kids that are going to sell a hundred million albums in their lives anymore. So until this rotten business figures out who the hell they are, this is for the last heroes left; the Elton Johns, the Bob Dylans, and Bruce and Petty and Bon Jovi.”
