Yep he ahs listed Tom Waits as someone he admires for years, on Jons UK Top Ten VH1 videos , Toms weird video was in the list.!

LOL! The whole "Johnnys church of rock'n'roll"-routine is stolen from Springsteen. As are many of Jon's raps between songs.

Have you ever seen Southside Johnny live? I did last fall and had to laugh so much. There you know who is Jon's idol when it comes to live shows. We said so often "exactly like Jon" LOL.

I felt that way seeing Bruce too- I saw Bruce live for the first time in 2002 and I kept thinking that's just like Jon, but wait a minute, Bruce was first. I think there is something in the Jersey water that makes these guys go out and play and sing their hearts out and have more energy than the energizer bunny!

"The one album that led me to write was Born To Run... That was when the boring small town of my 13/14-year-old New Jersey became a romantic mythologized scene of neon light, fast cars and the shore bars. It gave me a reason to dream...

Thanks, Bruce"

- Jon Bon Jovi

That's exactly what I said to a friend yesterday. The water or whatever in Jersey must be really good.

Actually, NJ water tastes like arse. I am afraid that if I drink it, I might grow a third head or something. But I get your point. :P
