Hey Phil,

You would be surprised how many Bon Jovi topics have popped up on the Keith Urban boards this week. It's unreal! LOL There are a lot of his fans who are also Bon Jovi fans and while I've noticed that trend long before now, it's really coming to the forefront now that Bon Jovi is back with some new music. The CMT boards right now are filled with positive comments about Bon Jovi and the appearance with Crossroads.

The article makes a good point-- These days, if you want slick rock 'n' roll sing-alongs and triumphal power ballads, your best bet is probably country music. Today's country music sounds more like rock and roll and has the story telling, big hooks, catch choruses, and power ballads like the music I grew up with.
