Thanks for posting Becky, a very interesting read. I really agree that Bon Jovi have got alot more in common with somebody like Keith Urban from this modern-country vibe then their rock peers. I think one of the reasons Bon Jovi suffered over the last couple of years to find a large audience is that they really don't fall into any main category that's popular at the moment. They're too heavy and too rock for pop and when they tried to stay rock and go pop (like Everyday) they not only didn't attract a pop audience, they ended up alienating the rock audience. So it was very hard for them to really find their niche in the market. However with this big movement in modern country in the States, Bon Jovi may well attract a whole new audience with a song like "Who Says......". I think I remember hearing from you (or maybe somebody on backstage) that even before the final tracklisting was announced, there was alot of intrest from KU fans in the song/album. I mean that was the first I heard of him and now I'm a fully fledged Keith fanatic, so no reason the same thing can't happen but in reverse. Get the Sugarland fans in, and maybe a resurgance in fans looking for good Bon Jovi rock songs and they could have a very successful album on their hands.

Anyway, that's enough of me pratteling on.....lol
