JBJ inducts Southside into NJ Hall of Fame, Desmond Child Live out now

Jon Bon Jovi was recently on hand to induct one of his idols -- Southside Johnny -- into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Jon, who was himself inducted in 2009, made a nice speech, as did Southside:

Southside and Jon (and the Kings of Suburbia) also performed "I Don't Want to Go Home", from Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes' debut album of the same name:

In other news, Desmond Child Live has officially been released. I first posted about Desmond's new live album when his version of "Livin' on a Prayer" came out, but now you can purchase or stream the whole album. Here's the track list:

New Bon Jovi song Unbroken in To Be Of Service film

To Be Of Service is an upcoming documentary about war veterans with PTSD and their service dogs. The trailer for the film features "Unbroken", one of the songs that will be on Bon Jovi's 2020 album.

You can watch the trailer below:

To Be Of Service will premiere in New York City on November 1, 2019.

The "Unbroken" lyrics appear to be:

God of mercy, God of light
Save your children from this life
Hear these words, this humble plea
For I have seen the suffering
And with this prayer I'm hoping
That we can be unbroken

Hopefully someone can let me know if this is wrong. 😜

What do you think of the song (or at least what we've now heard of it)?

Selected videos from Lima

"In These Arms" - I've always loved David singing this over the years so yep, I'm sharing it again:

"Livin' on a Prayer" - Must admit, all the phones made me laugh. I'm not knocking the Lima crowd at all, because it happens everywhere, and I take pictures/videos at gigs too... I just looked at it and thought "that's so 2019" 😜 :

Feel free to share any other videos and/or your thoughts in general.

What now?

We already know there's a new Bon Jovi album on the way, so there'll probably be another tour starting next year. I'm a little nervous about it all, but that's not a negative thing.

Watch Bon Jovi's Rock in Rio 2019 show

I watched a web stream when it was broadcast, and obviously Jon's voice could be loads better but I was pretty happy with his performance as a front man. He can still put on a great show.

You can check out that show below:

Feel free to share your thoughts!

Only one show left of the tour -- in Lima, Peru. Then we'll see what the future and the new album bring. 😉
