Hulu's 'Thank You, Goodnight' charts the good and the bad of Bon Jovi's 40-year career. The band's frontman says, 'I have nothing to hide.'
In early 1984, Bon Jovi emerged from the wilds of New Jersey to make its first appearance on Billboard’s Hot 100 with “Runaway,” a synthed-up pop-metal jam that frontman Jon Bon Jovi essentially willed to success by badgering a Long Island disc jockey to spin it on his air. Forty years later, you never have to wait too long to hear Bon Jovi on the radio.
I always say I wish he’d retire because then I’d know where the end zone is. I love the Rolling Stones. But we were more Beatles. I’d agree with that. One reason why is that Bon Jovi never seemed leering in the way that some of your ’80s hair-metal contemporaries did. It always seemed like you were trying to— I wasn’t trying to be anything. I was only ever trying to be us. How that was perceived was everyone else’s business. So you’re just not a leering guy. I’m not a leering guy.
