I went to Indonesia for 5weeks a few years back, decided to take very little music along with me, and no Bon Jovi whatsoever.
Cue Bon Jovi popping up EVERYwhere from 'Always' coming on as soon as i landed in Jakarta and entered Pizzahut, to the kareoke band that night playing prayer and bed of roses. I met someone else out there (in the middle of the jungle i might add) who not only was also from Belfast but had seen bon jovi multiple times in Dublin too.
We also found Slippery when wet on cassette in some village market - it was one of only 3 or 4 English speaking albums there, the rest being old Elvis and Elton John albums.
To cap things of, on the boat ride home as we were all sitiing out the back with the locals watching the sunset, the local Indo boat guy stuck on a cd..yep, a mix cd of Jovi! It included random things like Santa Fe, Save the world, These Days etc etc
Crazy i tells ya!

JBJ - I believe
"Sambora's face is a mask of joyous disbelief, as if previously unaware of his ability to play the instrument at all. Reaching the last fistful of notes, he does a fair impression of a man who is actually ejaculating into his jet black flares."
