Weekend WTF: Bon Jovi Is Trying So Hard to Be Relevant

This edition of Weekend WTF is brought to you by Germany. More specifically Munich, the city in which Bon Jovi played a show last weekend. Normally this event would have gone unnoticed by VLM except for the following:

1) Right now Welsh singer-songwriter Duffy is scoring a hit on the chart in the form of her first single "Mercy"
2) I got a digital copy of her debut album Rockferry, and was very pleasantly surprised by it (a more in-depth review and a comparison to fellow soul revivalist Amy Winehouse is pending)
3) After tooting his own horn for 2 minutes (and in so doing sounding remarkably like John Mellencamp), Bon Jovi broke into a cover of "Mercy", which someone caught on camera.



Speaking of bands covering songs live...I was about to put up a video of Prince covering "Creep" at Coachella since I actually did find a video of it not 12 hours ago, but lo, it was gone. Bummer. You might expect more on that coming this week.

Let me know what you think of some of the changes going on.
