I almost forgot to watch this tonight. Between work and the migraine that hit me when I got home, I came real close to forgetting. The only thing that saved me was that it showed up in the news on the homepage of my browser when I booted up. That left me with all of two minutes to hunt up the paper with the list of all the cable channels on it, because I haven’t watched Bravo since Project Runway left, and the cable company reshuffled all the channels a couple of weeks ago. But I made it just in time to catch the whole show.
It was nice to see Dave get some time in the spotlight, both in answering questions about his own career and in getting a whole solo all to himself. Dave is really an under-appreciated part of Bon Jovi, and he hasn’t really gotten a whole lot of time to shine on the last couple of albums. His Broadway work is great–I’ve never gotten to see any of his shows in person, but I’ve certainly heard the songs. I was very glad to see that they praised and recommended Memphis. That can only help Dave’s writing career.
Richie really is looking a lot better these days. He looked healthy, and he was laughing and joking. I loved his comment about women being both the thing that turns him on and turns him off. With his experiences, I don’t blame him for feeling that way.
Jon was looking good too. His hair is starting to remind me of his Keep The Faith haircut, with it short in back and the floppy bit over his forehead in front. Mind you, that’s not a bad thing. I always kind of liked Jon’s KTF haircut. (It could still really use some highlights though.) Jon also seemed to be in a good mood, and that’s not always the case during these promotional interviews. I knew the answers to most of the questions as well as Jon did, but he was really good about it. I always like to see him laughing and joking around with the rest of the band.
All in all, I really enjoyed seeing the band on Inside the Actor’s Studio. It was a little bit different from a lot of the interviews and promo bits that I’ve seen before. And I always like to see Jon laugh.
