Jon Bon Jovi Back In the Local Neighborhood!

Jon Bon Jovi, Tuesday night, received an award to celebrate their new performing arts center at the high school he graduated from. It's also the school I graduated from, albeit much earlier than Jon. He was just 'one of the local kids' in our neighborhood who hung out with the boys. Sharing a photo of him from the school event. So nice to see him again.

@ciao_bella - thanks for information - love to see a Jersey Boy recognized for the good deeds they do. Still a fan of Bon Jovi after all these years.

I loved Jon Bon Jovi when I was younger for his music and, well, his cuteness 😍. As he ages, he has shown what a kind generous man he is. Frequently volunteering his time and money to help people down on their luck. Recently he randomly came across a woman, a complete stranger, that was leaning over the edge of a bridge about to end it all, and he talked her down and away from what she was getting ready to do.

Jon and I are the same age and graduated high school in the same year. I never felt old until I saw him on the cover of my AARP magazine. I knew I was receiving the "older" material but seeing him on there was a jolt. He looks great and has had a wonderful life.

Good to know he's still around.

I miss the rockers. The music was my vintage.

Aside from being a music legend, Bon Jovi is a caring giving person and helps others. For that alone he has accomplished much in life and continues his acts of kindness .
