Bon Jovi Releases their Most Personal Album yet

Since 1983, Bon Jovi has been rocking the world with smash hits, and countless number ones. The band consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, drummer Tico Torres, pianist and keyboardist David Bryan, and two new members of the group, lead guitarist Phil X and bassist Hugh McDonald.

McDonald and X joined the band after the departure of longtime guitarist and co-singer Richie Sambora. In 2013, in the middle of their Because We Can Tour, Sambora left the band due to “personal reasons.”

Jon, a New Jersey native, has been a heartthrob since the 1980’s. Known not only for his charming good looks and incredible musical talent, Bon Jovi is also involved in charitable works, such as The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen, which provides food for the hungry.

Bon Jovi, celebrating 33 years, has topped the charts with songs that make us roll down our car windows and shout them at the top of our lungs. “Runaway”, released in 1984, from their self-titled debut album, was their first hit single.

After two relatively successful albums, the group changed their approach and released Slippery When Wet in 1986. Their first number one, and most successful, album sparked hit songs we still love today. “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Wanted Dead or Alive”, and “Livin’ on a Prayer” are considered some of Bon Jovi’s most well-known tracks.

In 2000, the band released their hit single from their album, Crush. “It’s My Life” was the song that opened Bon Jovi up to a younger audience. It also became a symbol of the band’s longevity as they went through many changes in the rock scene.

Bon Jovi has released more songs than I can count, and has had major success as a band.

“Have a Nice Day”, “I’ll Be There for You”, “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”, “Because We Can”, and many others are chart topping songs that fans know every word to.

In 2013, Bon Jovi’s world turned upside down. On top of Sambora’s departure, Torres has abdomen surgery and could not go on the rest of the tour, and Jon left music to focus on becoming an NFL owner, but lost the Philadelphia Soul to the Buffalo Bills franchise.

The band released Burning Bridges in 2015, a compilation album with new songs and formerly unreleased songs.

This past Friday, November 4th, Bon Jovi released their 14th studio album, This House is Not For Sale. Their first album to be released under a new label and without Sambora, is one that they are going to be very proud of.

Their lead single that bears the album’s name was released in August.

THINFS is all about integrity and the band reinventing themselves. If you listen closely to the lyrics, Bon Jovi sings with such passion and vulnerability in his heart. This is their most personal album yet.

The band is going on tour starting on February 8th in Greenville, South Carolina. The first leg runs until March 22nd in Indianapolis, IN.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
