I mean... Stevie Ray Vaughan is dead, and we can’t get Jon Bon Jovi in a helicopter? Come on, folks. “Get on that helicopter, Jon. Shut the f___ up and get on that helicopter! There’s a hair dresser in there. Yeah, go ahead in there, yeah yeah.”

I hate how they play their stupid song during the Stars games.


They need to play more Pantera.

Livin on a prayer was supposed to be a working class anthem during the heyday of Reaganomics IIRC.


Written by the same gay guy that wrote “Livin’ La Vida Loca”.

The Farrah Fawcett style looked a lot harder to managed.

That would be Desmond Child. He wrote a lot of famous songs.

“His hits as a songwriter include Kiss’ “I Was Made for Lovin’ You”; Joan Jett & the Blackhearts’ “I Hate Myself for Loving You”; Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name”, “Livin’ on a Prayer”, “Bad Medicine”, and “Born to Be My Baby”; Aerosmith’s “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)”, “Angel”, “What It Takes” and “Crazy”; Cher’s “We All Sleep Alone” and “Just Like Jesse James”; Brit Smith’s “Karma’s a Bitch”, recently redone by Jojo Siwa; Alice Cooper’s “Poison”; Michael Bolton’s “How Can We Be Lovers?”; and Ricky Martin’s “The Cup of Life” and “Livin’ la Vida Loca”.”

“Ricky Martin’s, ‘“Livin’ la Vida Loca’.”

That’s one helluva, ‘Ear Worm’ right there! ;)

Nope. Only room in my heart for TWO teenage crushes. It’s ‘Diamond’ Dave and Robin. Forever! ;)

But I’ll BET that Robin (Zander) never kissed you back when he was in a ‘Garage Band’ from Rockford, IL and played at my Senior Prom. Yeah, Baby! ;)

(I was dating a guy from Rockford at the time who was friends with Robin. Joe was my Prom Date. Just a chaste kiss on the cheek from Robin...but STILL!)

Never got a kiss from Diamond Dave, but I’ll just have to live with that. ;)
