BECAUSE WE CAN!
I remember the first time I met Jon Bon Jovi almost like it was yesterday!
I boarded the plane in Los Angeles, on my way to New York, via New Jersey, and shared the first class cabin with a group of very friendly musicians. Blushing, now, I recall asking them where they were from, and then asked if they performed all around the State of New Jersey. Good hearted fellas they were, only slightly bemused that I had no idea how successful and famous they already were at that time!
I did, later, become a huge fan when "Who Says You Can't Go Home" became almost a personal anthem for me. I became an even bigger fan, as I watched the path of philanthropy that Jon followed, then lead and inspired others to do the same.
The last time I met Jon, was backstage at the World Music Awards in Los Angeles. By then, I knew his music, admired and respected his focus to give back, and also noticed that we were "dressed like twins" in our black leathers!
Jon Bon Jovi may have earned his initial recognition as the front man of a glam rock band, but let's take a few moments to realize his overall impact in the world today!
Here is a list of charitable organizations that Jon has supported through the years, according to Look To The Stars.org :
Have YOU heard about Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen? Folks pay what they can, when they can, but every soul is served good food. He rocks, doesn't he?
