It's time for Bon Jovi to grow up

How can you say their popularity is decreasing with each album? In the US These Days was a bust. Crush brought them back to the limelight and opened the doors to a new generation of fans. My teen daughter is a fan because of Crush and Its My Life. I am now a fan due to Crush in terms of being a fanatic- I always liked Bon Jovi but had my kids during the time of their highest popularity. Never even heard of These Days but got back into them with Crush, saw them live and the rest is history. I think you are underestimating how important Crush was in bringing Bon Jovi back to the American musical consciousness.

Yes, but you need to remember that there is life outside of the US, and 8 million worldwide sales isn't that great. Bounce is doing even worse, even in the US.

According to Backstage, 2002 is also supposed to be the year of BJ.

It seems we have a new trouble causer. This one has a disability though, he doesn't seem to be too bright. Oh well, that just makes him an easier target to verbally flick away, like a dying bee on a park bench.

Sorry, I made a mistake, you are bright. I wasn't reading your posts carefully enough. I guess I was guessing where each sentenced began and ended, because there weren't any full stops (periods), or commas, and I must've misunderstood some things that you tried to say.
