De moeder van Jon Bon Jovi was een Playboy-bunny en nog 7 andere weetjes over de zanger van Bon JoviJon Bon Jovi is net 60 jaar geworden en dat verdient een feestweekend. Jon Bon Jovi stond met zijn hits geregeld in de hitlijsten overal in de wereld. Wist je ook dat hij een heel goed hart heeft? Op 2 maart 1962 werd John Francis Bongiovi in het Amerikaanse Perth Amboy geboren in een gelukkig gezin. Hij heeft 2 broers Anthony Michael en Matthew Louis. Zijn moeder Carol Sharkey zat af en toe in het kostuum van een Playboy-bunny. Op aanraden van zijn platenfirma werd er voor Jon Bon Jovi als artiestennaam gekozen. Dat bekt iets beter. Een goed hart In 2001 kreeg Jon Bon Jovi een eredoctoraat voor humane wetenschappen aan de Monmouth University in New Jersey. In 2019 kreeg hij aan de Universiteit van Pennsylvania het diploma van doctor in de muziek voor zijn muzikale prestaties en zijn humanitaire verdiensten. Jon Bon Jovi heeft zich verdienstelijk gemaakt voor de Special Olympics, het Amerikaanse Rode Kruis, de Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation en andere organisaties. Hamburgers Jon Bon Jovi is de eigenaar van een aantal JBJ Soul Kitchen-restaurants. Daar kunnen mensen in nood hun maaltijden betalen door vrijwilligerswerk te doen. Klanten die het eten wel kunnen betalen, worden aangemoedigd om ook een bijdrage te doen voor de mensen die het moeilijk hebben. Daarnaast hebben Jon Bon Jovi en zoon Jesse voor de Umami Burger-keten een gezonde 'Hampton Burger' samengesteld. Hampton was de plaats waar Jesse opgroeide. Een deel van de opbrengst gaat naar 'JBJ Soul Foundation', die zich inzet om armoede en honger uit de wereld te helpen. De hamburger kan doorgespoeld worden met 'Hampton Water', een roséwijntje gebotteld door Jon Bon Jovi. Eerder hebben de actrice Cindy Crawford en de groep The Black Keys ook een hamburger voor Umami in het leven geroepen. Voetbalploeg Van 2004 tot 2008 was Jon Bon Jovi de mede-eigenaar van de voetbalploeg 'Philadelphia Soul'. De naam verwijst naar het gelijknamige populaire muziekgenre. De officiële mascotte van de ploeg was 'Soul Man', een knipoog naar The Blues Brothers. Het oorspronkelijke logo was een muzieknoot met een witte voetbal. Always Het liedje 'Always' schreef Jon Bon Jovi aanvankelijk voor de film 'Romeo is bleeding'. Daar verwijst de openingszin ook naar. "This Romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood." Jon Bon Jovi was niet echt wild van de film. Hij noemde het zelfs een B-film. Uiteindelijk weigerde hij om het liedje in de film te gebruiken. Hij stak het liedje in de koelkast en bracht het later uit als een single. Het werd één van zijn grootste hits met meer dan 3 miljoen verkochte exemplaren. It's my life Een ideaal nummer in de discipline 'luchtgitaar spelen' is 'It's my life' van Bon Jovi uit 2000. Het was de eerste hit na een sabbatperiode van 5 jaar. De zin "For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down" is een verwijzing naar hun hit 'Livin' on a prayer' uit 1986. Daarin zijn Tommy en Gina twee jonge mensen, die probeerden rond te komen in moeilijke tijden. De zin "Like Frankie Said, I did it my way" is een verwijzing naar Frank Sinatra, die 'My way' zong. Sinatra kwam uit New Jersey, net als Jon Bon Jovi. Toen Paul Anka in 2005 een cover zong van 'It's my life', zong hij "Frankie said he did it my way". Paul Anka schreef voor Sinatra de Engelse tekst van het origineel 'Comme d'habitude' van Claude François. Livin' on a prayer 'Livin' on a prayer' vertelt het verhaal van Tommy en Gina, een koppel dat het niet breed heeft. Hij is havenarbeider en zij werkt in een restaurant in New Yersey. Zij kreeg de bijnaam Gina, omdat ze leek op de actrice Gina Lollobrigida. Het nummer raakte een gevoelige snaar bij de Amerikaanse jeugd, vooral die uit New Jersey, waar ook Bon Jovi vandaan kwam. 'Livin' on a prayer' is het vervolg op het liedje 'You give love a bad name' van Bon Jovi. Bed of roses Met een knoert van een kater schreef Jon Bon Jovi het liedje 'Bed of roses' in een hotelkamer in Los Angeles. Hij liet daarvoor zelfs in zijn kamer een piano plaatsen, die het hotel normaalgezien gebruikt voor bruiloften. In dit heel persoonlijk nummer legde Jon veel van de problemen bloot die hij op dat moment ervaarde. In de zin: "While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again", staat de 'minnares' voor de muziekindustrie en de 'schijnwerpers' zijn de media. De zin "As I dream about movies, they won't make of me when I'm dead" kwam uit zijn pen nadat hij de film 'The Doors' gezien had. Hij was zo onder de indruk dat hij zelfs daarna verkeerd door eenrichtingsstraten reed.
"Bed of Roses" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi, first appearing on their fifth studio album, Keep the Faith (1992), then released as a single on January 11, 1993. Jon Bon Jovi wrote the song in a hotel room while suffering from a hangover and the lyrics reflect his feelings at the time. The song contains drawn out guitar riffs and soft piano playing, along with emotive and high vocals
Sentado aquí perdido y herido En este viejo piano Tratando de capturar El momento esta mañana no lo sé Porque una botella de vodka Todavía está alojada en mi cabeza Y una rubia me da pesadillas Creo que sigue en mi cama Mientras sueño con películas No van a hacer de mi cuando esté muertoCon un puño cerrado me despierto Y beso a la mañana Mientras que una marcha de banda sigue Palpitando en mi cabeza Mientras estamos hablando Acerca de todas las cosas que anhelo creer Acerca del amor y la verdad y De lo que significas para mi Y la verdad es, cariño, que eres todo lo que necesitoQuiero acostarte en una cama de rosas Porque esta noche duermo sobre una cama de clavos Quiero estar tan cerca como el Espíritu Santo lo está Y acostarte en una cama de rosasBueno estoy tan lejos Que cada paso que doy es para ir a casa El rescate de un rey en monedas de diez centavos que daría cada noche Sólo para ver a través de este teléfono público Todavía me quedo sin tiempo O es difícil de conseguirlo Hasta que el pájaro en el alambre vuele de nuevo a ti Sólo cierro los ojos y susurro, Cariño, el amor ciego es verdaderoQuiero acostarte en una cama de rosas Porque esta noche duermo sobre una cama de clavos Quiero estar tan cerca como el Espíritu Santo lo está Y acostarte en una cama de rosasBueno, el whisky de la resaca del bar del hotel se ha secado La peluca del barman está torcida y Ella me está guiñando el ojo Bueno, podría haber dicho sí Pero me reí tanto que creo que morí Ooh yeahAhora mientras cierras los ojos Sabes que estaré pensando en ti Mientras mi amante me llama Para estar de nuevo en su centro de atención Esta noche no estaré solo Pero sabes que no Significa que estoy solitario, no tengo nada que probar Por que eres tú por quién moriría para defenderQuiero acostarte en una cama de rosas Porque esta noche duermo sobre una cama de clavos Quiero estar tan cerca como el Espíritu Santo lo está Y acostarte en una cama de rosasQuiero acostarte en una cama de rosas Porque esta noche duermo sobre una cama de clavos Quiero estar tan cerca como el Espíritu Santo lo está Y acostarte en una cama de rosas
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true. I want to lay you down on a bed of roses. For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails. I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is. And lay you down on bed of roses. The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry.

This track gives us an insight into the inner workings of Jon Bon Jovi’s mind during the time he penned the song. Before we begin, it is worth noting that Jon wrote this song in a Los Angeles hotel room while recovering from a hangover! The person he is addressing in “Bed of Roses” is a lover who is not with him at the moment. Chorus And from the song’s chorus, what he is hoping he can do for her is to lay her down in a “bed of roses” despite the fact that he currently sleeps “on a bed of nails”. Laying her down on a rose laden bed is apparently a metaphor for how much he wants to take care of her and make her happy. And he wants to make her happy despite the fact that he currently finds himself lying on a “bed of nails” (which is a metaphor for the torturous condition he finds himself in). Simply put, he might be suffering right now. However, in the midst of his suffering, he still thinks of nothing but making his woman happy. First Verse Jon begins this verse by letting his listeners aware that he is going through the very unpleasant experience of a hangover. He also drops a line “about movies they won’t make of me when I’m dead”, which was inspired by his watching the film “The Doors” which is centered on a real-life musician who died prematurely. This passage likely alludes to his negative mind state at that time. However, he concludes the verse by referring to his aforementioned love interest as “all that (he) needs”. Thus although not feeling particularly good about himself, he finds optimism in thinking about his woman. Second Verse In the second verse, we find that he is so much in love that he is willing to spend “a king’s ransom in dimes” just to pay for telephone calls to communicate with his boo. And overall, he is very much looking forward to being with her once again. Third Verse There isn’t much meat in the song’s third verse. That said, in this verse, the narrator (Jon) weaves a humorous tale of an apparently unattractive barkeeper who is “giving (him) the eye”. Fourth Verse In the fourth, he refers to the music industry as his “mistress” and once again reverts back to his depressed mind state by expressing that although he may be surrounded by people, that does not mean he is not “lonely”. But he concludes by once again bigging up his woman as the one he “would die to defend”. In all, “Bed of Roses” centers on two central themes. One is Jon Bon Jovi’s overall depressing mindframe. The second is the deep love he has for his romantic partner. The latter is the sentiment that truly defines this song. And like mentioned at the beginning of this post, Jon penned this song in a hotel room while dealing with a severe hangover. The lyrics express exactly how he felt at that particular moment.
