Hell, he even had a song called “Ride Cowboy Ride” that was pretty kick ass. Jon Bon Jovi had this fascination with cowboys and I just think that it’s fucking funny that his “cowboy” songs are his best ones. I am totally not ashamed to admit my love for those two songs right there. A candle in the wind.” That’s a great fucking lyric there and Jon fucking digs deep into his fucking soul and pulls out a vocal deliver that still gives me goosebumps to this day. This song just just lightning captured in a bottle. In all honesty, I feel like Bon Jovi totally did the rockstar as cowboy metaphor even better on this song than Ratt did with “Wanted Man” (which also kicks a shit ton of ass). I don’t care how fucking metal or heavy you claim to be, you need your fucking head examined if you don’t think this song kicks ass. It was just not my cup of tea and it really still isn’t but I’ll be damned if Jon Bon Jovi didn’t write what I consider to be two of the best written songs around:
Richie Sambora is as good as singer as your boy Jon and they could write well-crafted radio friendly mom loving rock n’ roll. I’ll be 100% honest here when I say that I could never really say, “Man, Bon Jovi sucks.” The reason is because I mean they didn’t. When I was in high school, Bon Jovi’s big album at the time was New Jersey, a heaping platter of some of the most non-offensive music you had ever heard. When I was a kid, very few guys I knew really liked Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was the guy that could totally shot gun beers with your brother only after helping your mother do the dishes after complimenting her over a delicious dinner. Bon Jovi was long haired, bad boy romance. Warrant wanted your cherry pie but Bon Jovi wanted you to never say goodbye. KISS wanted you to lick it up but Bon Jovi wanted to lay you down on a bed of roses. wanted to fuck you like a best while Bon Jovi merely wanted you to lay your hands on him.
Their appeal back in the day was to the teenage girls with their songs of romanticism and not so insulting sexual laden lyrics. With all this being said, I can honestly say that I totally get Bon Jovi’s appeal. I am hard pressed to really think of a weaker ass band than Bon Jovi. I mean, Bon Jovi made Poison look like fucking Venom. Even back in their heyday I can remember just thinking that Bon Jovi was one of the most neutered sounding hard rock bands around. How could a band have such an amazing, kick ass, goose bump inspiring song and then turn around and belt out the future anthem of every frumpy bride to be at her bachelorette party “Livin’ On a Prayer?”īefore you get all up in arms here, let me just make one thing clear. I’m wanted… dead or alive.” “Shot down in a Blaze of Glory!” Good fucking god man.

Into the Echo includes partially written and charted instructions. With that said, I absolutely adore Deb’s faded ombre version of Into the Echo featuring Spincycle’s Dead Reckoning color-way, seen here, combined with Wilder. For a striking, modern appearance, I chose Cold Comfort, which pairs beautifully with Brooklyn Tweed’s Peerie, in color-way Humpback. From its simple beginnings to the impressive, over-sized border, the pattern motifs are created using one color per row.įor dynamic contrast using the suggested yarn, I recommend choosing a Spincycle / Dyed in the Wool color-way that carries a consistent coloring throughout, such as Cold Comfort, Leith, Cataclysm, or Melancholia … just to name a few.
