…that, for the record, has its roots in COUNTRY music, in case anyone needs a refresher in the history of rock.

My guess is the only reason some like Saturday Night and they don't like Lost Highway is because they didn't hear ahead of time that the band was going to be recording Saturday Night in Nashville and that it was going to be a "Nashville-influenced" recording. Didn't really matter what it sounded like.
And after Jon and Richie used similar same phrases while promoting Lost Highway, those songs could have sounded like Black Sabbath or Megadeth and a lot of people would still have cried, "Country!! Eewwww! I wanna ROCK!"
I agree with you, Ezearis (and have wanted to get back to respond to your other thread about Lost Highway). I never thought I’d hear a Bon Jovi fan admit that LH is one of their favorite BJ albums and that the songs are really good. In my opinion, with the possible exception of SWW, it’s their best. No apologies. (Oh wait, that’s on another album…)
