Bono Jovi


Here's Bill Clinton and Bono Jovi at something called the "Can Do Awards" in NYC.

It's weird seeing your childhood and teenaged crushes get older before your eyes. I wanted nothing more than to be Mrs. Bon Jovi when I was in grade six. Faced with the knowledge this wasn't going to happen, I instead married my fellow classmate Patrick Fey in a schoolyard ceremony. It didn't last the year. This would not be the last wrong trip down the aisle I would take. That schoolyard shit is a fuck of a lot easier to undo though. Trust.

As for Mr. Hewson, all I can say is bitch better BRING IT when U2 plays the Rogers Centre in Toronto in September because I was brutally raped by Ticketbastard for my ticket. I have a wicked seat but that shit did not come cheap.

Speaking of concerts and coming. If there are spelling mistakes up in here, blame the Followill brother cousins because I am still reeling from the sex bomb that was last night's Kings of Leon show...



Amazing show. From the beginning riffs of Crawl to Caleb's wildcat screams in Charmer until the final notes of Black Thumbnail, the boys were relentless. By the time they got to Knocked Up in the encore, I'm pretty sure I was. And you know what? I'm going papa don't preach on this shit and keepin' mah baby.

If you live in Vancouver, Edmonton or my old stomping grounds of Calgary, KOL is headed your way this summer. Tickets go on sale this week! Go Nike on this one and JUST DO IT.

Book of Jovi

Apparently when I finally finish my novel, which, at the rate I'm going, should be sometime in the year 2050, I need to take my shit to HarperCollins because they will publish pretty much anything. First they give Lauren Conrad of The Hills a three-book deal (put a bullet in me) and now they've announced they're publishing a book of photographs of Bon Jovi to commemorate the band's 25th anniversary. It's called Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful. Wow, that is one pansy ass title.

I am living on a prayer that the book will be heavy on photographs from this time period....



If Bon Jovi wants me to be shelling out my cashmoney on a book, they best get to work on a novel about Tommy and Gina! Seriously. I need to know - is Tommy's union still on strike? Is he back working on the docks? Did he ever get his six string out of hock? Is Gina still working the diner all day? Does she still cry in the night? Are they still only halfway there? SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!!!
