Jon Bon Jovi is always trying to straddle the line between cuddly family man with overstyled hair (to please the Regis & Kelly set) and edgy rock 'n' roller who loves to fuck shit up (if by "fuck shit up" you mean drinking two appletinis before having sex with his wife), usually landing firmly on the "Aw shucks, I'm just a nice boy" side of things. So here he is talking to the UK's Now magazine about his wild, drug-filled teenage days. Surely it's a tactic to get Hot Topic to carry his records.
Jon Bon Jovi has revealed that he was a drug dealer as a teenager.The rocker, 45, admits he peddled cannabis in New Jersey before he found fame.
'I did the drug thing very young and wised up very young too, because I was into drugs a little too much,' he says.
'I was entrepreneurial even then, buying quarter pounds of dope and trying to make a couple of bucks.'
But Jon insists his bad experience with drugs turned him off becoming a user.'Did you ever smoke dope that was laced with PCP and then have that whole summer of hallucinations? It was fucking awful,' he tells the Daily Mirror.
'That's why I've never been a drug guy. I've always felt I didn't have the mental stability.'
God, Jove, you are such a follower. You hear James Lipton telling wild stories about his days pimping in France and you just have to pipe up about your own misspent youth. This is just like that time you hosted Inside the Rockers Studio and asked Dennis DeYoung what his favorite curse word was.

You really are an idiot. If you knew Jon Bon Jovi at least half as much as you claim to do, you would know that these things that Jon is saying now are the same things he's been saying forever, simply because reporters always ask the same damn questions and Jon uses to answer with the truth. That's all. It's not like he woke up the other day trying to come up with something to tell the reporters to increase his sales, 'cause trust me, he really doesn't need that. He's never been the type to sell records thanks to gutter press, scoops, or the like. So, please, it's preatty obvious you dislike him, but do us all a favour: cut the bullshit and try to avoid acting like an envious 6 year-old girl that's just found out how so much more popular her friend is in her class, while she sucks. THANKS!
Jessica… honey… chill.
