Happy Birthday, Jon!

From yet another of your 100,000,000 fans...HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY JON!

You will likely never see this message, but I know I reflect the sentiment of many when I say I truly hope your day is as special as you are.

That you are surrounded by family and friends, and all who love you.

That you can revel in the fact, even for one moment, that you are in the minds and hearts of millions today, who are sending you the same wishes and thoughts from all around the world.

That this milestone does not make you feel old, just older.

And most importantly, that you have many, many more.

Best of birthday wishes to my favorite rock star of all time. Enjoy it!!

From the man (Jon) himself...

JBJ did a little blogging for us here - thanks for the shout out, Jon! And so happy to see that a new record is coming together...happy, yet laughing at you because I TOLD YOU you were a liar. :) (Psst...you are fully allowed to lie about things like this!)

As posted on Facebook:

Greetings to all. Happy 2012! I hope everyone had a fine holiday and that you're all ready for what we hope will be an exciting 2012. Since we spoke last I've been informed that over 15 million Bon Jovi followers are out there monitoring our activities. Thanks. Considering we're not actively touring and don't have a record out that is amazing. The Circle Tour was beyond our wildest dreams. 4 million of you saw the tour and made us the biggest tour on the planet in 2010 and #2 in 2011... it's only fair we let some of the other bands have some of your attention in 2012 but don't worry, we are writing up a storm and have a really good record coming together. Richie and the guys are all happy and healthy. At least that's what they tell me... Thanks for the posts regarding my blogged demise. As I write this I am very much alive but I died online December 19th, 2011 and it was a wild 60 minutes. Fortunately my family was all together when the calls came in and we quickly dispelled the rumors. Besides all the well wishes 'dying' is soooo overrated. We all have so much to live for so make the best of each day. In 2012, I look forward to the Soul Kitchen helping those who in these difficult financial times need help from their neighbors. Remember, a helping hand up is not a hand out. Empowering your neighbor is not entitling them. You'd be surprised how many people today are either in need or on the verge of economic assistance. WE have the power to make a difference. Find something or someone that moves you... you can make a difference and I promise it will make you and that neighbor in need feel something magical. Don't fall into the negative. Don't assume the press or those in the media know better or know more. Follow YOU. Partisanship, is just ignorance in disguise. Ok, enough of my thoughts. It's time to go to work. I'll fill you in on any one off shows like Bamboozle in Asbury Park as the dates come together. Until then root for your favorite team, who ever that may be and look out for your favorite band, we know who that should be. See you round... JBJ
