Default In Defense of "Captain Crash..."

Just my opinion.

This song is dynamite. Ok, maybe it's not the Bon Jovi from the early albums, but by god if it isn't a helluva lot of fun. How can someone sing this song and not be smiling. It's just goofy and fun.

The band has come a long way from the early days. They fought very hard for their survival and it's songs like this that they've earned. By no way is it meant to be serious. It's meant to cheer the crowd up and smile.

I love that this song is an encore now. Yes, at first, I was somewhat confused, but after being at the Minneapolis show, I've come full circle. The whole crowd was singing along; especially for the "do do do, do do do" part. Just great.

It's also somewhat of a "guy falling for a girl" song which I'm always a sucker for. The girl I was with totally melted when I explained the meaning behind the song (in my opinion) and how I like singing it to / with her. "Captain Crash is just this regular, wierd guy and he's with this girl, The Beauty Queen, who's just out of his league, but they are in love."

Just terribly clever lyrics and I hope the song is hear to stay.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm at work, enjoying a beer and loving life.

This board terrific and it's members are great.

Bon Jovi Forever.

Good Night.
