Bon Jovi Tickets – Aiding the Clinton Cause

In the midst of a struggling economy, it’s not only blue collar workers who are feeling the pinch for money as the New Year begins. Politicians are also experiencing the crunch, and one in particular is especially down in debt: Hillary Clinton. The New York senator and former presidential candidate spent millions of dollars in a failed campaign in 2008, and she’s turning to any means possible to help make up for some of that (current) .3 million debt racked up while trying to win the democratic nominee position in the presidential campaign.

While Clinton begins rebuilding, one musician will aid her personal cause: Jon Bon Jovi. The New Jersey-hailed rocker will perform later this month as part of the event dubbed “a final evening in support of Hillary Clinton for President Debt Relief,” a fundraiser set to take place at Manhattan’s Town Hall on January 15. Tickets for the Bon Jovi-led performance/fundraiser range from to ,000.

While Bon Jovi is taking current steps toward social activism in helping Clinton pay off her campaign debt, the 46-year-old musician is no new face in politics. He also performed for former Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton when the two won the Liberty Medal in 2006. With his upcoming performance, Bon Jovi joins the ranks of other Garden State natives Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen, who have both used their music to aid political campaigns (Sinatra in 1960 for John F. Kennedy and Springsteen for John Kerry in 2004).

An influential musical figure these days, Jon Bon Jovi (whose real last name is Bongiovi) started his music career as a janitor at the New York recording studio the Power Station, which his cousin Tony owned. Eventually, Bon Jovi recorded songs in the studio, and the demo “Runaway” garnered incredible attention, scoring the rocker a band and a recording contract with Polygram/Mercury in 1983. Equipped with fellow rockers David Bryan, Alec John Such, Tico Torres and Richie Sambora, the band called Bon Jovi rode the wave from “Runaway” straight to the Billboard charts, following up the song’s success with the 1986 album Slippery When Wet.

Showcasing the number one singles “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin’ on a Prayer” as well as Top Ten single “Wanted Dead or Alive,” Slippery When Wet exploded on the music scene, establishing Bon Jovi as a leading pop-metal band of the decade. 1988’s New Jersey succeeded the band’s 1986 album with an immediate number one on the Billboard charts, as well.

Bon Jovi was one of the few bands of the ’80s to continue onward in the ’90s with a similarly successful career, and the band kept throwing out hits into the 2000s.

Most recently, Bon Jovi has released Lost Highway, a 2007 release featuring songs with country artists LeAnn Rimes and Big & Rich, gaining a considerable country following in the process. Lost Highway scored big in the U.S., Japan, Australia, Canada and Europe, and Bon Jovi meanwhile has been performing numerous gigs around the globe.
