1. Not at all.

If he's our generation's Sinatra, then George Bush is our generation's Thomas Jefferson.

3. With THAT dress sense pally?
No tie, no perfectly polished shoes, no hat worn at just the right angle.....

Why, I bet Bon Jovi makes the cardinal sin of wearing brown at night!

Best live performance I've ever seen.

27. Jon Bon Jovi has equally as much talent as Frank Sinatra, if not more
Like Sinatra, some people just don't "get" him.
But judging my his millions of fans *myself included*
I think admitting that he has SOMETHING cant hurt.

:rofl:

30. Something, sure. Equally as much talent? Hardly.
I'm not a big Sinatra fan but he had more talent than 3/4 of today's stars put together.

Another plus for Mr. Bongiovi, Jr.

Thankfully.

32. I'll admit it
After many years of disdain, I came to appreciate Mr. Bon Jovi during the environmental concert. I just saw him up fairly close in Central Park. The concert was a little slick but he is a great showman.

Mark Knopfler in Central Park up next, then the revival of Hair. That should be fun.

24. I never understood why Sinatra was considered so great
He was a shitty singer and an even shittier husband and father. Not to mention the mob ties. What an asshole.

34. You guys are talking about the 60's version of Britney Spears
The Rat Pack. The diversion from WTF was really going on? I'm guessing TPTB (MIC) were just starting to figure out how idolatry really helped their cause with Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

Over fucking rated because we let them drown it in our ears for years.
