(1,771 posts)You were apparently 'on the fence' regarding Jon Bon Jovi but your dislike for him was firmed up when you discovered he was performing at a Hillary Clinton event. This is how I took your response.
If I'm wrong I sincerely apologize for using a quote that must have some significance to you. Enough that you keep it around in your sig line.
Honesty is in high demand these days. Try it. You might like it.

If it brings out more people to get involved and vote it's always a good thing
For those who go, enjoy the Clinton rally.

10/20/11
RED BANK, N.J. -- In three decades as one of the world's biggest rock stars, Jon Bon Jovi has eaten in some of the world's best restaurants, savoring the best food the planet has to offer.
Yet there's no place he'd rather have dinner than The Soul Kitchen, a "pay-what-you-can" restaurant he and his wife Dorothea established in a former auto body shop near the Red Bank train station in central New Jersey.
The restaurant provides gourmet-quality meals to the hungry while enabling them to volunteer on community projects in return without the stigma of visiting a soup kitchen. Paying customers are encouraged to leave whatever they want in the envelopes on each table, where the menus never list a price.
The restaurant is the latest undertaking by the New Jersey rocker's Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which has built 260 homes for low-income residents in recent years...
How important is rolling up his sleeves and working in the restaurant to him?
"Last Friday, I was at the White House, serving on the Council for Community Solutions, got on a train, changed in the bathroom and got here in time to wash dishes Friday night," he said. "I'm the dishwasher, for real. I can't cook a lick."
I lost the original link with the text, but the menu sounded great. No junk food, very good, healthy food.
