Unlike many other celebrities, he keeps his thoughts about the war in Iraq and President Bush largely to himself. While fellow New Jerseyan Bruce Springsteen is not shy about taking Mr. Bush to task and speaks out against the war on his new album, Mr. Bon Jovi is more comfortable talking about poverty and affordable housing. And his attention to those causes has earned him an audience with some of the country’s biggest political names.

He only started to keep his thoughts for himself when he got a crowd booing in America whenever he brought it up. Anyone remember the speech before The Distance about America not supposed to be involved in this war, and the protest song Eve Of Destruction during the Bounce Tour?
It was only after the crowd started to boo whenever he made his point during the shows that he stopped mentioning it, and just said "this is for the men Afghanistan", without saying what he felt and thought of it. If that crowd would not have booed but would have cheered, we'd still hear Jon mentioning it, because the man is all about getting an applause.
Salaam Aleikum,
