Let me see what I can remember. Lonn Friend co-hosted part of the show. He talked about how Bon Jovi is one of the greatest bands in the world. The woman he was hosting with had previously worked in radio and met Jon in 1988 and said he was the nicest rock star she had ever met. Lonn said that the humilty that comes across from Jon is real and that people picked up on his realism and that was part of the appeal of the band.

Jon and Tico were interviewed together and took a couple of calls from people who didn't have questions. They were asked how the band got along. They joked that they hated each other, then clarified that they were like brothers and knew more about each other than they did their brothers and sisters. They compared the band to a marriage that had lasted for 20 years. Jon said that the guys had faith in him 20 years ago and it had been an amazing ride. He said that it's hard to get into that inner circle.

Later Richie and Dave were interviewed together and there was a lot of trouble with them being able to hear the phone calls. The hostess mentioned that they hadn't forgotten their roots and Richie said he'd forgotten all his roots. Dave said they just colored them now. Richie said that Jon was one of the best frontmen in the business, probably THE best.

A little later Jon, Richie, Dave, and Tico were all interviewed together and they took a call from a girl in Alabama who asked when they were playing in Birmingham. Jon said, "Good question. Not this leg of the tour. Maybe next time." PFFFFTTTT. Yeah, and maybe they'll play in my back yard the day after they play in Birmingham. They said the show was never the same twice because the people were always different. They played Misunderstood before the show ended.

The hostess asked "what if there's someone out there who wants to be a big star like you?" and Jon said, "What all Five foot NINE of me?" I've been telling people for ages that HE says he's 5'9"! LOL Now maybe that he said it on something with a little bigger audience than The Charlie Rose show, people will believe it.

That's all I can remember at the moment.
