Hi there. I used to be a huge Bon Jovi fan back in the 90s but after Keep the Faith it was all a bit of a different band for me, one that I can't relate to. I still bang my head to Slippery every other week though \,,/
In any case - the reason I signed up is because Lita released an autobiography recently where she describes a hotel room scene with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. See below:

Quote:
"The New York Post detailed excerpts from Lita Ford’s new memoir, Living Like a Runaway, in which the former Runaways rocker wrote about a tryst with the Bon Jovi lead singer and his guitarist Richie Sambora in the mid-1980s. Ford revealed that she had been hanging out with the New Jersey-based rockers at the nightclub Traxx when she invited them back to her hotel room.
According to Ford, she made out with Bon Jovi as they guzzled red wine, while Sambora hooked up with her friend in another bed in the room. Lita wrote that rock star Aldo Nova was also in the room and revealed that the “Fantasy” singer “watched, sipping his red wine, as we tried to fit him in, too.” Lita added that after too much wine, Bon Jovi “began puking in the corner, right on the bedroom carpet,” and she ultimately ended up in bed with Sambora.
“Richie Sambora is the king of swing, I must say. Jon recovered from puking and Aldo finally made his way into the action, and it turned into girl-on-guy fun at the Broadway Plaza Hotel.”

Ok - now take the lyrics of Let It Rock:
Quote:
We go down to the Broadway
Where everybody goes
To get on their rockin' horse
And blast that radio
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the king of swing
Before it's time to go
|
Now either Lita listened to the song once too many times, or she's Roxie pretty much.
Now am wondering, did Jon or Richie ever describe what the song was about?
