Live 8: Get Bon Jovi off the stage

Technically, Bon Jovi is a hometown act at Philly Live 8, even though the band hails from New Jersey.

Geographic technicalities aside, it was evident from their performance at Philly Live 8 that Bon Jovi’s time has come and gone - in fact, it’s been gone quite a long time.

They performed “Living on a Prayer” for the nth time complete with that cheesy vocoder part. Then Jon Bon Jovi strutted out on stage like he was the Lord Savior.

Bon Jovi was bland and by-the-numbers at Live 8. At this point in their career, they’re pretty damn irrelevant and even diehard fans must feel let down deep within their souls.
