That quote has been blown out of complete proportion.

where in wellfare. people get free Money and Govt. Cheese. Real cheese handed out for food for people in the poverty line.

Cheese comes from the term "Government Cheese" but in slang its refer to the "MONEY". cuz that's what you both get at the welfare line. but it is used to mean "Money" for anything.

this is an old slang. a lot of old movies uses it.

"I lost my job. I need to find somewhere new to get my cheese".

EDIT: For some reason, I read 'Soupy's' entire rant with a gangster accent in my head LOL.

Absolutely! Jon was talking to investors in the football league, not to fans.

If Jon didn't want that shown, it would not have been in the documentary. He came across as exactly that - a douche.

Wrong. Jon absolutely had veto power. In fact, the original director of the documentary (Barbara Kopple), who was on tour with the band for many months working on the doc, was sent packing by Jon. I believe it was because she wanted control of what was going to be used in the film, but Jon refused.

I thought there was also a sort of tell all book that was canned for similar reasons?

Jon is aware of everything that has the Bon Jovi name on it. He wouldn't be a very good CEO if he didn't.
