I don't recall him ever having a mullet either. I just thought it was amusing that the article made reference to a mullet.

It looks like anyone who hasn't bought bounce yet, had betta make a purchase.

I don't know why Bounce has only sold 4 million records.......b/c its an awesome album!!! I think thats poor work by the fans!
It has nothing to do with the fans I guess, they'll buy the album anyway. They just didn't promote the album enough.

You don't think so? I thought they promoted it a lot more than Crush. Jeez, going down the NJ Turnpike there were like 10 BJ billboards right in a row and commericals and all these public appearances, etc. I don't know.

That's exactly the whole problem -- major part of the promotion for Bounce was done in the U.S. Europe got a couple of press conferences (London & Germany), a couple of TV shows (in the UK & Germany again) and three promotional gigs (Capital FM, SBE & the Barcelona busk). Nothing more. No big album launch parties, no signing sessions, no acoustic or full band promo appearances like in the U.S. And the rest of the world got even less, Japan got the MTV Tokyo Zepp show and some press but that was just about it for the rest of the world, for all other countries except the U.S., Japan and three European countries (the UK, Germany & Spain).

I personally believe the lack of promotion is quite an important reason for the low sales figures of Bounce. And the other important reason is probably internet piracy (free downloading).

May I invite you to this website. http://www.mulletsgalore.com/

Here you will find all species. I would say that there was Bon Jovi mullet action.

And you'll find that narrow minded rock reporters tend to mention Jon's hair when they can't come up with any brain cells to focus on the music.
