Comments: Hey, all!  Today I'm bringing a little Bon Jovi into your day. I didn't realize this, but he is 51 years old now. I knew he was getting up there, but congratulations to him for still producing music after 30 years in the business. I highly recommend reading the Wiki for this guy as it's intriguing. For someone so well known I knew very little about his life. This is his latest single that I recently heard on the radio and it is an interesting song. It  has his classical (slightly cliche) motivational theme with a mix of song that is a combination of his older stuff and some of his more recent songs. To me this song is a mix of "Who Says You Can't Go Home" and "Have a Nice Day".  It is up tempo and may not show off Jon's voice, but the beat is infectious. I would love for this be a popular song for the summer, but since it doesn't include any kind of celebration or partying theme it very well may not. Either way, here is another excellent hit by the famous Bon Jovi. Happy listening!

Comments: Haaaaappy Monday!  And by that I mean, welcome to yet another week on the working train.  I am starting off this week with a motivator.  The last few days metal, rock, etc. has been my music and so while I was doing some listening I came across this song and all my will power to not dance and sing aloud to this song wasn't strong enough and I was apparently quite amusing.  This song is going to be on replay for me for a while especially this morning so that I can get myself going strong this week.  As unrealistic as this video is to this song is I still think it's very cool. Especially because looking at the stunts the main guy does I'm calling bull on it and saying he's been bitten by a radioactive spider.  I didn't realize how old this song is, but it was released back in 2000 and did well on the charts.  I hope that you all know this song and enjoy rocking to something you probably haven't heard in a while and if you haven't had a listen yet here's the chance to add a good song to the collection.  Happy listening!

Comments: HAPPY FRIDAY!  So I know this post is a little late and I send my apologies. However!  I had forgotten about this song and how much I love Bon Jovi until I heard this a couple of days ago.  You gotta love the sarcasm in the title of this song and you only realize it after you've heard the song. This is a lot of the attitude people have on the weekends so I figured I would use the song today to get people pumped because, oh yeah....IT'S FRIDAY.  If you haven't been able to tell I'm very excited that my responsibilities are gone for the weekend.  Anyhow, this is an excellent the song and the video is amusing. I think they took it a little far with the emblem as a tattoo, but it was amusing to see.  "Have a nice day" everyone and happy listening!
