40 years of Bon Jovi - confessions of a 50 year old fan
Posted by The Wise Wig Woman on 2nd Jan 2025
2024 was the year we celebrated 40 years of Bon Jovi. So many of the documentaries and news stories brought up a wild ride of emotions and wonderful memories.
I am Bron the Manager at The Wig Outlet ... and I am a true Bon Jovi fan (aged 51) who was the classic teenager of the 80s, with her bedroom walls smothered in Bon Jovi posters and memorabilia, and:
- who only bought a tape player to play their cassettes,
- who sang into a hairbrush in front of the mirror along to their songs,
- who loved them so much she was nicknamed 'Bron Jovi' at school,
- who has been to six of their concerts over the years including one in the second row which fulfilled a dream of mine ... aahhh, the memories. I swear Jon looked right at me at one stage (a lot of people feel the same and was one of Jon's many, many talents in winning over a crowd) and I definitely had some smiling/laughing interactions with Dave Bryan from my close position to the stage. Such a great night.
Their body of work has literally been the soundtrack of my life :)
It was a beautiful journey to watch the Bon Jovi documentary series showing behind-the-scenes vision and hear all the inside stories, learn more about the band members and their personalities, antics, mindsets, trials, struggles ... seeing these rock gods as human leads to greater understanding and bonding as a global community.
The band's longevity and legacy is astounding ... 40 years since their first big hit "Runaway" was released in early 1984.
So congratulations to the band and especially their leader Jon Bon Jovi, still rocking and working hard in his sixties.
