'Backstage with Bon Jovi' & MusiCares Honor

Online museums are all the rage now. Def Leppard has one. Motley Crue has one... and now you can add Bon Jovi to the mix.

As part of Bon Jovi's 40th anniversary celebration, the band launched Backstage with Bon Jovi. It's a website and museum all rolled into one and busted down into four main sections: Exhibits, Studio, The Road and Office.

Also, Jon Bon Jovi was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year last night. There are lots of celeb performances and interviews from the MusiCares gala last night. Here's a little bit of Mammoth WVH:

Here's Jon Bon Jovi on the red carpet:

In Case You Need A Jon Bon Jovi Action Figure

A company called Toy Wiz has a Jon Bon Jovi action figure available for pre-order. The cool thing is that it is an all-Glam Jon Bon Jovi. We're talking pre-"Bad Medicine" here, folks. The website description says:

With their 'bigger is better' approach to rock and roll, Bon Jovi changed the landscape with the release of their seminal album, Slippery When Wet.This Ultimate Jon Bon Jovi action figure is fully poseable and ready to rock, with guitar, microphone and stand, and interchangeable hands and face plates. The design of the figure brings fans back to the Slippery When Wet tour and the days of big hair and bigger rock sounds.Comes in display-friendly window box packaging with opening front flap.

The doll is about $34 and I'm sure will sell out. I am not a collector of such things, but I do love that this plastic Bon Jovi is wearing sequin pants.

Jon Bon Jovi Turns 60 Today

Today is Jon Bon Jovi's 60th birthday and this just makes me feel old. Bon Jovi is still hot but during the glam heyday, he was just drop dead gorgeous. Basically every woman I've ever met thinks Jon is one of the most attractive men on the planet! Now I'm early 40s middle aged and he's... old? Or older? I do truly believe age is just a number and you are only as old as you feel. Still, seeing the tweet from Bon Jovi (below) kind of felt like a gut punch to me.

Of course, I had to pop on some classic Bon Jovi to celebrate. Off I went to Amazon music and immediately pulled up Slippery When Wet. Such a great album. "Wanted Dead or Alive" is one of the single best rock songs ever recorded. It is definitely a top 5 "road song" across every genre. Plus "Never Say Goodbye" is a totally underrated power ballad. I hope Jon has a fabulous birthday celebration, worthy of a multi-zillionaire.

The happiest of birthdays and lots of love to the one and only, @jonbonjovi!! Leave him some birthday love in the replies! 🥳 pic.twitter.com/4bhyu9OBJD
