Does it have anything to do with your falling out with the SF, ever since that post you've been really bitter towards the band and especially the SF. I guess I don't get it.

the JBJ Soul Foundation financials are public, as are Jon's working hours (10 per week) I dont care how much someone does for others or doesnt.What I dislike is when people flatter themselves with it and blow it out of proportion. I have always hated it when entertainers used their charity work for their ego and promotion.
Regarding the SK:I also said that there where other things I dont want to talk about but what is clear is that they constantly say that they dont want Jovi fans to volunteer there and yet the first thing the manager of this place told me was that he is a big buddy of Jon's, Jon shows up for big events and uses his fans for crowdfounding.For me this is business,opportunity and the opposite of integrity.
Many things they have done there apart from the Pay it forward thing has been done by the charity place located around the corner from SK aka Lunch Break on an even bigger scale, yet Jon pretends like he invented the whole thing...
You dont need to get my opinion and reasons behind it.
What is most important: For me,the tickets are overpriced for the quality of this band.I dont like the new songs because they sound boring to me and some of the lyrics are too cheesy and unbelievable.
The lyrics are more cliched than ever for me and aimed at a certain audience (mostly)
As I said before, Bon Jovi havent done anything purely for the fans without any calculation but Jon and his family are very eager to use the Bon Jovi fans to sell their pasta sauce, get people to pay for his charity and even offer overpriced clothing to make money. I am not loyal to brands and the worst thing any musician can do is to run it as a business. For me that let to even more soulless music. But there are other artists and I dont really miss Bon Jovi since it is not a band anymore(at least to me)
