I was 5 when Living on a Prayer came out. I distinctly remember that my babysitter's son, who was 16, was obsessed with SWW, and used to play Prayer over and over. He even had the Jon Bon Jovi mall hair, and had a strobe light and drum set in the basement. All of us kids used to go down to the basement and dance to Prayer in the strobe light while the son pretended he was Jon. It is funny to think about now.


That was really the only rock song that I remember listening to in the 80's. I didn't start paying attention to the radio until the early 90's...so when Always came out, I fell in love with Bon Jovi all over again. But I will never forget my first Bon Jovi memory!
