This bulletin was posted by Bon Jovi today on MySpace. Don't miss Jon on 60 Minutes this Sunday! _______ May 16, 2008 5:12 PM Jon on 60 MINUTES: Tune in this Sunday, May 18, at 7 p.m. ET/PT! (CBS) Critics just couldn't see past the big hair he sported when his was one of the hit "hair bands" that broke out in the 1980s and they still can't, says Jon Bon Jovi. That's okay the rocker tells 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft. He gets his respect from family, fans and a phenomenal success that's still going strong after 26 years. Bon Jovi's interview will be broadcast this Sunday, May 18, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. "There are critic's darlings. That I won't be. I got that…We've had to suffer the hangover of…the '80s decade," says Bon Jovi. He feels he's gotten enough respect, though. "Is longevity respect? Is coming home and having your family be proud of you respect? Is having those generations of people, heads of industry, or football coaches or Johnny Average spending their hard-earned money [on his recordings and concerts]...respect?" he asks Kroft. Hair or no, Bon Jovi has seven albums that have gone platinum and enough hit singles to keep filling stadiums in major cities - no mean feat in today's sluggish industry. And besides, says Bon Jovi, just one of his platinum albums, maybe just one song from it, "Living on a Prayer," is enough to etch a special place for him and his band on rock's pantheon. "One of the biggest albums of all time is called 'Slippery When Wet.' If 'Living on a Prayer' hasn't crossed generations and had its influence on this culture and isn't the biggest Karaoke song or stadium song it's up there..." he says. Bon Jovi tells Kroft he is still enthusiastic about performing. "You'd think why would I beat myself up like that after 25 years? Because you want to be the best. I don't want to think that anyone's coming in there and going to be better tomorrow night," he says. Late this summer, Bon Jovi will end a 15-month tour that will net the band approximately $250 million in ticket, T-shirt and CD sales. It’s all part of a charmed life he leads. "I haven’t had a bad year since the doctor slapped me on the ass," he laughs. Kroft's profile of the rock star includes concert footage, a look inside Bon Jovi’s mansion in New Jersey and a tour of a Philadelphia street, whose old townhouses were restored as part of his charitable efforts to improve the neighborhood.

OK, you all know I am a Jason Fan, one of his best song is Hallelujah. It revived Jeff Buckley's version. Well, he is in good company. Here is Bon Jovi's version www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8jpNiUuwcw

Free BON JOVI Concert in Central Park to be Presented by Bank Of America during MLB ALL-STAR SUMMER
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 30, 2008
MAYOR BLOOMBERG & MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ANNOUNCE THE CONCERT EVENT OF THE YEAR
FREE BON JOVI CONCERT IN CENTRAL PARK TO BE PRESENTED BY BANK OF AMERICA
DURING MLB ALL-STAR SUMMER
Tickets Available at Yankee Stadium, Other NY-Area Ballparks and MLB. com on July 2
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg was joined by Jon Bon Jovi today as the City, Major League Baseball Executive Vice President Tim Brosnan and Brian Moynihan, President, Global Corporate & Investment Banking, Bank of America, announced that Major League Baseball and New York City will host a free concert by Bon Jovi, the Grammy-winning band whose current Lost Highway World Tour is the top-selling tour in the world. The historic concert on the Great Lawn in Central Park on Saturday, July 12th at 8 p.m. will be in celebration of Major League Baseball All-Star Summer in New York City. Bank of America, the official bank of Major League Baseball, is the presenting sponsor of the concert, which will take place three days before Major League Baseball's All-Star Game during the last year of Yankee Stadium.
Parks & Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe and NYC & Company CEO George Fertitta also joined the announcement, held in the Blue Room at City Hall.
Beginning Wednesday, July 2nd, tickets will be distributed at baseball parks and events throughout New York City. The bulk of tickets distributed at the ballparks will be found at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, with others made available at Shea Stadium in Queens, KeySpan Park in Brooklyn, and at the home of the Staten Island Yankees at 9 a.m. In addition, tickets also will be available in Manhattan at DHL All-Star FanFest at the Jacob K. Javits Center on Friday, July 11. MLB. com also will be conducting a random drawing for tickets.
A ticket is required to attend the concert. Go to MLB. com for more information about the concert.
"All-Star Summer is set to hit New York City in a few weeks, and the lineup of festivities just added another future hall-of-famer in Bon Jovi," said Mayor Bloomberg. "The free concert in Central Park is going to help make this year's All-Star Summer a celebration to remember. The 2008 All-Star Game will pay tribute to the storied history of Yankee Stadium, and Bon Jovi will help us ensure it goes out in a blaze of glory, hopefully a blaze in late October."
"Major League Baseball wants All-Star Summer to be the ultimate celebration for baseball fans in New York City," said Tim Brosnan, Executive Vice President, Business, Major League Baseball. "A free concert in Central Park featuring one of the biggest rock bands in the world will reach tens of thousands of fans and put an exclamation point on the week's many fan festivities. Bank of America has been a critical part of making this major event in New York City happen and we value our partnership."
"The All-Star Game is an electrifying celebration of Major League Baseball, and truly a unique event for the entire family," said Brian Moynihan, President, Global Corporate & Investment Banking, Bank of America. "As a proud sponsor of Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees, Bank of America is thrilled to be part of New York's Midsummer Classic festivities, creating opportunities for fans to connect to the game of baseball and share in the excitement of the All-Star Game experience."
Bank of America will promote the concert and offer ticket giveaways through radio promotions in the tri-state area. Additional concert supporting partners including MLB sponsors Aquafina, Sharp and Taco Bell will be distributing tickets through radio sweepstakes, promotional giveaways and in-store programs.
In the event of inclement weather as deemed by the Parks Department, the concert will be cancelled. If it is raining and fans are unsure about the status of the concert, they can call 311 for information or visit MLB. com.
"This concert is the perfect exclamation to all the festivities and events that have been planned around Yankee Stadium's final All-Star farewell," said NYC & Company CEO George Fertitta. "MLB All-Star Summer and Bon Jovi playing Central Park are just a few examples of all the things there are to see and do around the City - not only this summer, but year long - and proves once again that New York City is the best destination to host world-class, high profile events."
"Live music and Central Park go together like baseball and hot dogs," said Parks Commissioner Benepe. "This concert helps celebrate the past, present and future of Major League Baseball in New York City. Bon Jovi's music, delivered free to the fans in an historic park setting, is an appropriate tribute to Yankee Stadium and the MLB All-Star Summer."
The concert is one of many special events that will be held as part of the All-Star festivities. Fans will also be able to attend DHL All-Star FanFest, an interactive baseball theme park, from July 11-15 at the Jacob K. Javits Center and the All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade presented by Chevy on July 15 on Sixth Avenue from 40 Street to 58 Street, which will feature both All-Star teams and nearly 50 Hall of Famers including Hank Aaron, Yogi Berra and Willie Mays.
As part of its ongoing efforts to make All-Star Week more environmentally friendly, Major League Baseball is teaming up with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to help keep the Great Lawn green. More than 40 NRDC "Green Team Recycling" volunteers will comb the concert crowd to collect recyclables and encourage fans to pitch in. Sims Metal Management and Aquafina will also be supporting the effort by providing recycling bins on site.
Bon Jovi has set the bar for more than two decades as one of the most successful rock bands in the world. Globally, they have sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,500 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 32 million fans. The Grammy-winning band's latest album, LOST HIGHWAY debuted at #1 around the world and the resulting Lost Highway World Tour is the top-selling tour around the world to date according to Billboard and Pollstar.
New York City's parks have enjoyed a long history as public squares, where people gather for events ranging from orchestral concerts to world leaders. At Central Park's historic Great Lawn, Park regulations limit the number of large events (over 5,000) to six per year, in order to keep the lawn verdant and welcoming for all users. Many groups apply for annual large-scale events in Central Park through the public permit process, including the Marathon and the AIDS Walk. In Central Park, New Yorkers have experienced rock concerts from Simon and Garfunkel and Garth Brooks as well as visits by renowned spiritual leaders Pope John Paul II and the Dalai Lama. Most recently, Central Park's Great Lawn has played host to the Metropolitan Opera, the Dave Matthews Band, and the New York Philharmonic. The concert by Bon Jovi will continue the City's tradition of providing an evening of free entertainment in New York's storied outdoor venue.
