I love this man.

He should have mentioned Dorothea in his speech though.

jon has aged with grace, as a human and a public figure he has found ways to offer, be respected and many people even if they dont love bjs music have some respect for the man..
on an artistic lvl jon tries to find a way to express sth more close to his age and vocal range, but imo make a memory was the closest he came to deliver a good song that could have been a minor hit...i never talk about jons hair but imo the fact that he went grey all of a sudden is an indication that in the future he will try to reinvent his public image.on the other hand all that footbal pursuit and ceo statements are on the opposite end.

Every time I hear Jon say "We..." my brain automatically fills the rest in with "...got it, goin' onnnn".

Shoot me.

Honestly, I mean to post this same exact thing last week but then I forgot. Throughout this whole speech, every time he said "We" I said out loud "got it, goin' onnnn" LOL hilarious!!!
