I have a theory about this, so let me know what you think.

Bon Jovi are in-betweeners.

They've never been goody two shoes who were always parading under the no sex, no drugs, just rock and roll banner, with no profanity, no "everyone put your hands together and praise the lord" at their gigs (lay your hands on me does NOT count!!!) Let's face it, they're no angels.

BUT!

They're not hard asses, who go around with a gun belt poking out of their leather jackets, swearing at anything that dares move in their vicinity whilst having multiple affairs and getting a new tatoo every week. They don't treat their fans like dirt, they don't constantly raise contraversial issues, and they don't fight for any cause except music.


And in this sad, sad world, my friends, the latter option is, more often than not, what is cool. And the first option draws a large audience too, but the inbetweeners who are just out there for the music are so often the ones who lose out on market as they get older, and just aren't new anymore.

I did have a list of such "Inbetweeners", but I can't remember any of them. I do think Nickleback are going to come to a similar ground to Bon jovi in 20 years though...same sort of band, y'know?


Let me know what you think!
