Jon can't pull off a decent cover anymore. American Girl, Superstition, Under Pressure, all sound the same. His stage presence is off. Even though the Vegas thing wasn't horrible, it's not what I'm looking for to satisfy me musically.... And I have absolutely zero interest in Richie and his Girlfriend. The both of them are just pissing me off.

I was really pissed off last night. Jon opens the show with Who Says, then does his Christmas tune, and finally ends it with The Letter as a tribute to Joe Cocker. Tickets weren't selling until they announced that Jon was going to be there. There was a time when he would have stuck around for a little while and jammed with other artists. They used Jon's name to sell tickets and then he pulls out after 15 minutes. How can they have Jon open and then have local talentless nothings takeover after that? BS

At this point there is nothing left to say. I'm done exhausting energy and time on this band when I know it's never going to go back to the good old days. Of course I'll check out the new albums but it's time for a Bon Jovi break for the New Year....

Thats all
