Jon Bon Jovi the day he chose matrimony on madness

The emblematic rocker remembers the fateful moment when he proposed to his wife.


In his life, Jon Bon Jovi has played more than 2,500 concerts in more than 50 countries, in front of more than 32 million people and has sold more than 100 million albums. It is the quintessential rock star and he had a life filled with all the madness and temptation of this Stardom. And while good Jovi has no interest in being a model, it is, by default, an excellent.

More than 10 years ago, he founded the JBJ Soul Foundation, which helped thousands of people with regard to the economy in America, including young and veterans, providing affordable and favorable housing. out of 10 states. Last year, he launched two branches of a concept restaurant, a cuisine, in New Jersey, which provides nutritious meals in a warm environment where you pay what you can afford.

It has also been married to Dorothea, its high school cherries, for nearly 30 years. Here, good Jovi tells the story of the day that he proposed, a decisive moment for every man. But what is unique about this tale is that the flip-flop has chosen to invest with another person at the exact moment when it could have been led into a life of narcissism. He says a lot about the importance of reducing her own ego to find happiness:

"I met my future wife in 1980, in high school, we were in the same class. Dorothea was coming out with one of these guys who joined the service. He left the city, and hey, you know the rule of Five seconds when you drop a piece of toast on the floor? I gave him three weeks. We started going out with the end of that.

"It took us a lot of time to get married, though. It was in 1989 and our albumNew Jersey was out. We had the album # 1, the single # 1, and we were playing three nights at the Losaine Forum, we stayed at St. James's Club, which is the beautiful Art Deco hotel on the Sunset Strip in front of The old Hyatt House. I removed the curtain in my room and there is a billboard of me looking at the back.

I turned to Dorothea and said, "I had an idea. Why are not we going right now? 'She said, "You're out of your mind." I said, "Come on, what's better than that, now, that moment?

And so we ran to Las Vegas. Did not say a soul. We took a small shuttle, sauté in a taxi and we did not even stay at night. The taxi driver was the witness. We came back to L.A. Before the closing of time, and it was a Saturday, we saw no one on Sunday. Then Monday it was onEntertainment tonight: Guess what, Bon Jovi married! But at that moment, we decided that it was about us.

I have been in one of the largest rock bands in the world for more than 30 years and I am not a saint. And Christ, I missed tons of birthdays and school players. But it's not like Dorothea came halfway from the film and I did not know who she had and the settlement of divorce is it because of that. She has been throughout the game. She understands what it means. It's my life, and that's what it's.

But I do not look at the hot this week and think about negotiating or negotiating. I do not have a mistress on the side or another family of the city. You will never read this story about me. I have no respect for all this way of life. Why? Because these are things I know: I do not do a fuck that I just sold 10 nights to the arena. It's just what I'm doing. It's just a job. I am well paid for that and I have to wear a dirty t-shirt and jeans. But I do not really kiss on the rest, because it's a shallow pool, a man. When you are there so long, you know it's a shallow pool. "
