In 1986 I was 38 years old and had 2 kids ages 7 and 6. It wasn't until 1989 that I heard Lay Your Hands on Me and was blown away. I had heard OF Bon Jovi in 1986 but I don't know that I had actually ever heard them. I lived in California at the time and the local radio certainly didn't play them. No iPod, no youtube no way of even knowing they existed. I used to take the NYTimes weekend edition and I paid to have it shipped to California (since I grew up here). It was a different and far less connected world then.
