This is a very true statement. I have been listening to ‘rock music’ since I was around 15 and Bon Jovi are the one band I detest with a vengeance. I saw them back up Kiss in the very early eighties before they were known in the U.K. and even then they were total crap. A pastiche of a rock band.

I've always found the lyrics of "Livin' on a Prayer" a tad contradictory. They declare both that "we''ll make it I swear" and "it doesn't make a difference if we make it it or not". Why swear that we definitely will 'make it' when it clearly doesn't matter?

Well "it doesn't make a difference if we make it it or not" to everybody else. But, despite that, "we''ll make it I swear" means the world to 2 people who have nothing but themselves. It's the you and me against the world mentality that everybody not born with a silver spoon and loads of fickle, self-absorbed, vacuous friends can relate to. It's like Rod Stewart's "Young Turks". It's an anthem for the young and restless.

Funny thing is Jon Bon Jovi himself didn't like the song at first. But his co-writers Richie Sambora & Desmond Child convinced him that it's an earworm and a potential hit. Now its music video has a billion views, which is huge for a single from 1986. And w/ an ever-fluctuating economy, it'll likely continue to resonate across cultures & generations.
