One fan's desperate call for help...
 

I know. I am an idiot. This idea crossed my mind briefly a while back, and I never ended up acting on it. Now June 1st is rapidly approacing, but I am asking my fellow Bon Jovi fans for help...

I've created a Facebook page asking my role model, my inspiration, and my favorite star Jon Bon Jovi to be a guest speaker at my graduation. I remember a while back a woman asked him to attend his wedding and I never thought in a million years it would happen... But it did. If I don't at least try this, I'll probably regret it forever.

I am the president of my class, have been for two years, which means I will be giving a speech that day. In all of my previous speeches I have mentioned Bon Jovi in some way (quoting Jon, even singing their songs). The man has been more of an inspiration to me than anyone else. Not only through his music, but through his actions as well.

My graduation day is already going to be a day to remember, for sure, but I can't think of a better way to end the era than having the man there who I have introduced to so many at my school. I've even created some new fans along the way! As well as annoyed many people, but hey, what can you do?

I know this is a long shot and I shouldn't get my hopes up. But I've been such a huge fan for a long time. Bon Jovi has made me a stronger person. Kids used to tease me back when I first started listening to them because I didn't listen to the latest rap songs or what have you, but what Bon Jovi taught me is to never let that get me down. I feel that I at least have to try this.

Bon Jovi fans, if I've ever begged for anything... Please help me spread the word. At least so Jon sees this message. I have no idea how I get him to see it, except spreading the word.

I know I should have started this a lot earlier... But let's see what Bon Jovi fans can come together and do in two weeks.

Thank you all. Bon Jovi forever.

What's in it for us?

The knowledge that you helped a fellow fan. :)

Nope... sorry, there are a few thousand members who would like such a request too.

This board really isnt the place for stuff like this.

Good luck!

Hey, gotta try. Thanks for reading anyway.

Best of luck to you!

This board used to be the place for stuff like this. But the demographic has changed and people (especially male people) are trying to emulate each other to see who can be the hardest ass.

There are less than 20 regularly active users around here nowadays, so cut the tough talk.

@thread starter: I don't have Facebook, but I wish the best of luck to you!

No it wasn't, change is good, and this is not practical.

If you disagree, help him yourself mama.

First off, I was messing with the kid.

Second, this boards lack of participation is the reason why I said this board is not the place for such a thing. I considerate it rude that people come here for info but fail to participate.

There should be so much to say about a band like Bon Jovi who've been around for 30 years and yet I feel like I'm talking to myself most of the time.
