house of jon bon jovi

every sunday morning our youth group has their worship in the main sanctuary at 9:30am. during that time i lead a bible study for some of the parents of our youth group students. last week one of our bible study group members invited us over for lunch. what made it so special is that she lives in a house that jon bon jovi used to live in. when i was in eight grade, bon jovi was huge. & i've been a "closet" fan ever since. favorite song being, "wanted dead or alive". so the house is huge & beautiful. jon bon jovi bought it for his parents, & before he got married he lived there w/his parents. he gave his parents the master bedroom & he took one of the smaller bedrooms. i thought it was interesting that a millionaire rockstar lived in w/his parents. the kims (who live there now) are known in the neighborhood as the asian family who moved into the house of bon jovi. they said that they keep hearing stories of how jon bon jovi is a really good person. one example being that he never got divorced.

a friend of mine used to produce music for jamie fox, before jamie fox became such a big celebrity. they used to record their music in the former home of marvin gaye, in order to soak in his "mojo". when my son was playing in the former bedroom of jon bon jovi, i kept thinking that maybe he could soak in some of that "mojo" & become a rockstar too.

My parents bought a home that once belonged to NJ Nets player Jason Kidd. But as you can see, I didn't inherit any of his ball-handling skills. Maybe I should stop "Livin' on a Prayer". ;]
