yeah yeah yeah....

nauseating how every story about Bon Jovi by the Oompas puts them on some sort of pedestal of BJ being the one band that rocked the house and how BJ are the toughest act to follow and how BJ is really just IT and everybody else is just, well, not so great.

When in fact during the grunge/pop-punk era nobody gave a hoot about BJ and the likes (sure some leftover 80s followers couldn't let go and move on) - jesus.....

Bon Jovi are NOT that great live - they have great shows - other bands have awesome shows as well..... Bon Jovi is not the be all end all....

now I am going to go and gag for a while.....
