HAVE A NICE WEEK

Well we did, we had a nice day. Ok, we had a wildly brilliant day. The weather was gloriously hot and after a two hour drive and lotsa motorway hold ups, we got to the Bowl at Milton Keynes. The venue should have been the brand new Wembley Stadium. Bon Jovi was the last act there before it was demolished and should have been the first act ever at the new Stadium. When he shouted “Is there a cowboy in the house” I thought to myself, hell no, they’re all at Wembley. Guess only the Brits will get it.
Jon Bov Jovi is still a very handsome, very beautiful, very fit guy with a tight little tush that he loves to show off at every opportunity. His music is brilliant and the whole band rocked. However, Richie Sambora, seems to have filled out quite substantially and he needs a visit by the Fashion Police.
Rachel and I danced and sang and jumped up and down throughout the whole two and a half hours. His opening number was a cover… that surprised us… Rockin’ in the Free World, a Neil Young number. Also he only sang three tracks from his Have a Nice Day album. He cried through Bells of Freedom, a very moving song. Of course he did some of my ab fab favs; These Days, In These Arms, Bad Medicine, Living on a Prayer, Keep the Faith, Bounce, Raise Your Hands, Always… actually I don’t think there’s many tracks I don’t love.
The best part was when he yelled at the top of his voice, “… and to my special fan Hannala, say hello from me to your friends in blogland.” …. at least I’m pretty sure he said something like that… hmm!!!
~~~ooOoo~~
P.S. London-Love has just posted a silly ditty about Bobby and for those who haven’t been there lately, mrsbg, well dear mrsbg, well let’s just say ‘trouble’ is her middle name and she has sure landed herself in it.

I would believe you if told me that he proposed to you from stage. It sounds like it was wonderful. I am glad you had a great time. It is really nice that you were able to share it with Rachel. 🙂

Ann, I’m so glad you had a great time. There’s nothing like being able to see a live performance of a group or an individual that you really like.
btw, chapter 14 is up now. You might not like me very much after reading it, but keep in mind – nothing is absolute…

This man is the reason I like Harley-riding cowboys! I love Jon, he is one of those ageless/ timeless wild children, like I’m sure we all are!
I’m glad you had such a brilliant time, Ann, and if he ever said MY name, I’d have died!! The man is just sublime, you lucky lucky bitch!

VH-1 here was showing “Bon Jovi versus Def Leppard” the other night… Surely no contest???
Glad you had such a great time!

Oh, Ann…of course he had to give you a shout out! The event wouldn’t have been complete without you there 😉

Hey Ann,
I turned on Sky News tonight and saw JBJ being interviewed about his charity work. I was surprised by how intelligent and well-spoken he was (unusual for a rock star!)

So glad Jon said hello to you Ann!!
Sounds like a great time, thanks for telling us about it. Bon Jovi doesn’t get to my part of the world very often!
