Bon Jovi: Living On A Prayer
Living on a Prayer was voted best song of the 80’s in an online poll by VH1. The 2nd single from Slippery When Wet, it was released in late 1986. The song hit #1 on the U.S. charts in February of ‘87 and stayed there for 4 weeks. The album spent 94 weeks on the Billboard album chart, including 8 weeks at #1.
Looking back, the video isn’t that remarkable. But, it’s a great look back at the hair band era from one of the few acts to actually survive and thrive post 80’s. And yes, I did see this tour. Twice. Feels good getting that off my chest. Seriously though, Bon Jovi was a great show for the money (and probably still is) and that’s what Rock N Roll is all about.
WATN? Still making records and touring. They released Lost Highway last year.
Trivia: Jon Bon Jovi is co-owner of the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League.
