TRIVIA: Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi changed his name from Jon Bongiovi because he felt his given name was "too ethnic" for show biz.

The band Bon Jovi was formed to support the single Runaway, which Mr. Bon Jovi had already recorded.

The original cover for the band's Slippery When Wet was to feature a busty model in a wet T-shirt. The more sedate wet plastic bag was selected instead.

Georgia native and one-time Augusta regular Jennifer Nettles performed on the band's latest album.
