Is there speculation that the country music market exposure has been a source of older fans "coming home" so to speak? It is my perception that many Bon Jovi fans from "years ago" would have started tuning in to country stations when "rap" seemed to take over the airwaves. The exposure could have allowed fans to "rediscover" Bon Jovi and make them aware that hey--things are still going strong!

I would fall into that category. Most pop music today seems so shallow and annoying to me that I would rather listen to country music because the songs make sense and are a lot closer to the rock and roll I grew up listening to than either pop or metal is today. I still listen to the hard rock/metal station and pop stations occassionally, but I find more songs that reach me personally through country now. I'm a button-hitter. I change the radio station constantly until I find something I like.
For the first time since I heard Everyday ONCE in 2002, I'm hearing a current Bon Jovi song on the radio. I haven't heard a song with this much regular airplay since It's My Life.
