Bon Jovi can lay claim to possibly the worst rock lyric of all time:
"With an ironclad fist
I wake up and french kiss the morning"
You may have a point... but in the same song...
A bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head, some blonde gave me nightmares I think that she's still in my bed,
as I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead..
I was in a local band in the early 90's. We were talking about coming up with a rock song with a western theme, .. we tossed out a bunch of idea, and during this, Bon Jovi released "Wanted" and we were like Fuck... Then he was shown the movie Young Guns and penned the sound track like it was nothing and came up with Blaze of Glory.. and we were like "I quit". I mean you can say what you want about Jon Bon Jovi, but the man could write, sing and play. Which is why he has lasted decades and still sells out.
