In interviews I've read Jon talks about still having his hair as if that's some great accomplishment. I guess the accomplishment is his ability to make it look like he has kept his hair? After all the dying he did of his hair I'm surprised it lasted as long as it has.

I think we've established even his hair is not really his hair and like many other celebs he's had *possibly more than one* a hair transplant

Hair transplants move your own hair follicles from the back of your head to the top of your head, so it is his hair. He isn't wearing a wig. Also, if you are going bald, you'll need three or four transplants to get any reasonable coverage. If he's had one - which he most certainly has - then he has probably had more.

We give Backstagers shit when they go after Jon for his looks then turn around and say how we think he should look. It's a dumb double standard.

The looks don't factor one lick into the talent.

Thank you - you are correct.

The knock on Bon Jovi was always that it wasn't about their music it was about Jon's looks.
After listening to YouTubes of those few concerts this year I would say if people are still paying money it must still be about Jon's looks! At 60 he still looks much better than he sounds.

There's a many different factors in play here. People know and love the hits but the percentage of people going who even know they're still making albums or youtubing how they sound live now is probably shockingly low. 2017 wasn't good or great but passable and plunking down $100+ every two or three years to see a band from your youth, grabbing dinner and drinks with some friends you always go to shows with, THAT's the majority of the audience.

It's very important to remember 3/4 of the stuff we complain about wouldn't even register to most people. Granted there are absolutely people there for Jon's looks, It feels like it doesn't seem to be the majority anymore. Which is wild.

How can you tell that?
