How Jon has changed his opinions over the years!
Quote Taken from Metal Hammer Interview Oct 1992:
Things are bad out there. People are suffering. Look at the choice Americans are being presented with: Bush or Clinton! The lesser of 2 evils. And Al Gore as Clinton’s running mate! Great. His wife Tipper is really my best friend in Rock ‘n’ Roll,“ he snorts sarcastically. ”Now she’s saying, ‘I was in a band once.‘ You know what Tipper? Blow me!“
Quote taken from a magazine interview in 1992:
Surely there are still plenty of die-hard Jon Bon fans out there?
I hope so but, unlike a lot of people we didn’t think about the marketplace while we were making the album. Right now there’s the Country thing, the Seattle thing, the rap thing, but we didn’t want to jump on anyone else’s bandwagon. I think that any artist that isn’t making a record for himself is playing another man’s game and will always, in my opinion, be a step behind. To just duplicate our previous success would have been suicidal.
