I hate sound a bit cynical because I do think Jon was sincere in his answer but you have to wonder what effect Bruce Springsteen's album The Rising had on the decision not to go with Undivided first. I think it could be one of two things. Either Jon truly feels this way which would mean he can't be too happy either about all the Bruce Rising hubub and hype (and believe me there are even some Bruce diehards who wish he didn't focus so much on 9/11- after all will a 9/11 album, even a brilliant one hold up over the years). Or maybe Jon did not want Bon Jovi to look like they were ripping off Bruce- an accusation they have heard enough in their career. Anyway, I can see his point if either is the case and am glad it wasn't the first. The theme of Everyday which is moving upward and onward is a fresher perspective and it made sense to release that one first. I do hope though that sometime later in the album cycle we will see Undivided as a single- it is an awesome song and I love what it has to say.
