DESCRIPTION:
An interview with Jon Bon Jovi, conducted by Alan K. Stout of The Times Leader in 2000. A note from Alan:

"Boni Jovi, who I first met and interviewed in 1985, played pretty much everywhere in Northeastern Pennsylvania over the years. They'd played the old Rocky Glen Music Hall, the Kingston Armory, Pocono Downs, the Montage Mountain Amphitheater, and in 2000, they played the new arena in Wilkes-Barre for the first time. Prior to the show, I was able to chat with Jon about the band's new album at the time, "Crush," his various side projects - including acting - and the false perception that the band had experienced a "comeback." He also offered a very honest answer as to why bassist Hugh McDonald was rarely shown in the band's publicity shots and music videos. My experiences with Jon were that he was always candid. "
