In a recent interview with the rock legend Jon Bon Jovi on WCBS's (101.1 FM) "Scott Shannon in the Morning," the artist made it clear not to call him a boss. The issue was made by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, upon who will he choose between Jon Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen in response to a question, "Bon Jovi or Springsteen?"
The American singer-songwriter, record producer, philanthropist, actor, and best known as the founder and frontman of rock band Bon Jovi, the singer stated, "You know my respect for the E Street Band, and that's where that ends," Jon Bon Jovi also said, "They're them and we're us and who cares? It's not a competition, for chrissake."
After Governor Chris Christie attended more than 130 concerts of Springsteen over the years, Christie decided to make a switch and chose Jon Bon Jovi. Gov. Chris Christie is running for president of the United States, and he used the music of Bon Jovi when Christie made a formal declaration about his candidacy. However, Chris Christie's choice regarding Bon Jovi received criticism on several fronts, that includes the Daily Beast, who called it "Christie's biggest flip-flop ever."
Chris Christie talked outside from running for president, as he claimed openly his love for Springsteen's music - Christie called Springsteen's "Born to Run" the "most powerful rock album of my lifetime."
On July 24 on the Shannon show, Jon Bon Jovi promoted the single "We Don't Run" from the upcoming album "Burning Bridges," it's the band's first single without Richie Sambora, the long-time guitarist and co-writer of the Bon Jovi hits.
Bon Jovi stated, "My latest is not my next and it's not that it's a riddle," Bon Jovi also said, "This is a fan record to accompany a 12 show international tour. It's songs that weren't finished, that were finished, a couple of new ones like the one we released as a single ('We Don't Run')." "It's sort of a hint as to where we're going musically, but the new album, the real new album, will be early next year."
