Blueshadow’s Bon Jovi Blog

Took me awhile to find a video of this that I could embed and that was of reasonable quality, but this one from the Star-Ledger is pretty good. Jon makes a decent speech toward the end, so don’t close the page before you see it. He’s actually gotten pretty good at doing these sorts of speeches at charity events.

Also, what I like about this video is that it actually shows some of the facility, and not just Jon. As a fan, I hear a lot about Jon’s charitable projects, but when they’re covered in the media, the attention is usually focused solely on Jon. Now, (once again, from the perspective of a fan), that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it does detract in some ways from what he’s accomplished. It’s nice to be able to actually see how much was really done on this project. The facility is far more impressive in the video than the impression that I got from some of the articles.

Jon’s hair still needs highlights though…

The Soul Foundation is building a playground in Camden today. (There’s more details at one of the blogs at Philadelphia Weekly.)

Supposedly, Jon is going to be there, so if you’re in Philadelphia or Camden you might be able to get to see him at the event. (Unfortunately, I’m too far away to even think about making it to Camden and back on my lunch break.)

Hopefully there should be some pictures out tomorrow from this event, since it should be making all of the Philadelphia news outlets.
