WHO buys CDs because they think the guys in the band are good looking?

Personally, I wouldn't invest $15 +/- in a CD because some guy looks good. What do you do with it? Put the CD cover on your wall? LOL Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a magazine and get a pinup?

Do you really think that LOOKS can make a person stick with an act year after year, through extended breaks, and pay nearly $100 each for tickets to a concert?

I think the level of shallowness among fans is greatly overexaggerated. Bon Jovi's music appeals to the masses--it always has. They sing about things that just about anyone can understand and see in themselves. Their looks are just a bonus.

Maybe there are some shallow girls with more money than common sense, but I doubt they're the ones who return year after year, album after album.

As far as critics go, yeah, the guys probably would get more respect if Jon looked like Meatloaf and Richie looked like Lemmy. But that just goes to show how shallow CRITICS are. Those who can do, those who can't critique.
