"Stand by Me"

On June 24, Iranian Superstar Andy Madadian went into an LA recording studio with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and American record producers Don Was and John Shanks to record a musical message of worldwide solidarity with the people of Iran. This version of the old Ben E. King classic is not for sale - it was not meant to be on the Billboard charts or even manufactured as a CD.....it's intended to be downloaded and shared by the Iranian people...to give voice to the sentiment that all people of the world stand together....the handwritten Farsi sign in the video translates to "we are one". If you know someone in Iran - or someone who knows someone in Iran - please share this link

6. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Jon Bon Jovi's music, he is a DAMN GOOD PERSON.

I've seen him give millions of dollars to various charities, including a million to the Katrina fund. I've seen him campaign for Democratic candidates despite being a rich guy who would have to pay higher taxes under them. Now this. He's just a cool cat, if you ask me.
