Today in Jovi History
23 years ago today, December 2, 2002, Bon Jovi released Misunderstood as a second single to promote their 2002 album, Bounce!
It would have also been released as a radio single in select countries mid November 2002.
Misunderstood
Intentions good

I’m constantly getting sent these photos asking if it’s real
The internet is such a weird place right now with AI
But c’mon, how do these photos look believable?
No, he didn’t open up a dog shelter
No, he’s not hosting New Years Eve (I’d love if he did)
No, he’s didn’t get open heart surgery
No, he didn’t fall down a flight of stairs and Jesse had to come to rescue to his “dads murmuring words”
No, that’s not really his grandbaby
No, he didn’t give up his seat on the plane for someone homeless
We all know Jon is incredibly kind and one of the coolest people who would do those kind gestures above, but the AI stories are fake.
It’s all such silly clickbait. Be careful what you click on.

@Jerrybraden92@Gimewane You are definitely the right person to bring people together!!! You’ve done a great job with this group - I know you can do it locally! Hoping we can meet in person one of these days!
I’m excited to announce that I’ve officially been elected to join my local borough’s council starting 2026!
With how ugly our country is becoming, the only way we can make it better is focusing on our local communities and improving what we can.
To enrich our communities and look out for one another. Representing our community and hearing each other and making sure every single voice is heard.
By all of us doing that in each of our communities, it becomes a better country through kindness, love, and unity.
I’ve spent the last few months knocking on doors and meeting my community neighbors and hearing their concerns, improvement recommendations, & what they love about our borough.
I take pride in our borough and our community. And I’m excited for to take a step forward in making our borough even better.
Time to make our borough (and world) even greater!
It breaks my heart seeing all my friends and other Bon Jovi fans, who are absolute die hards, not able to get tickets.
Die hard fans that have supported this band year after year, album after album, tour after tour, and everything in between.
We need a fan club back that allows the die hard fans, who show up at every single event, a chance to be able to buy exclusive tickets before the general public.
I know these are limited shows and so many fans can pack these arenas/stadiums.
But let’s get a fan club back up that allows us a first opportunity to get tickets.
I’d even do all the fan club work & ideas for free. Just so we, fans, have something special and a club we can belong in and enjoy.

@Jerrybraden92@BonJovi@jonbonjovi After that it was family and kids and I did not get to see too many shows. I’m grateful now for those early years with the fan club!
@Jerrybraden92@BonJovi@jonbonjovi That would be so nice for all! I was a member from the very first year up until it ended. It was so amazing to receive all the updates and get first crack at seats, or no seats in the GA days! All of the eighties concerts I attended were in the first couple of rows. 1/2
THIS VIDEO IS WAY TOO COOL
Band walk-out to the stage on their first night of 3 at Wembley Stadium 1995
One of the many biggest shows of their careers
And in my opinion, the greatest.

@Jerrybraden92@BonJovi@jonbonjovi Sorry everyone - I think his look in EVERY era has been amazing - in my humble opinion! Lol. . . but I just may be a little too partial to who and what he is.
With a broken heart I’m here to let y’all know that the love of my life has lost his battle with cancer on Friday. He will be greatly missed by many and I will forever Love him.💔❤️🩹
@Jerrybraden92@BonJovi@jonbonjovi Every song on this album is AMAZING!! I burned through 2 cassettes and several CDs over the years! Just bought a new one recently!
Enjoying the Blaze of Glory album
The songwriting and vocals on this is phenomenal
As Jon was writing for a movie, he also wrote and tied what he was going through in his life with the characters and story
A lot of deep cathartic vulnerable songwriting
And there’s also a lot of fun songs
You Really Got Me Now deserves a lot more recognition

@Jerrybraden92@BonJovi@jonbonjovi I’m with you there Jerry!! They’d have to drag me out kicking and screaming! 😉 Back in the 80’s there was so little that we heard/saw! It was all the magazines that kept us going. To see all of that in one place would be absolutely amazing!
What I’d give to see the Jovi Storage Unit
To see memorabilia, listen to demos, outtakes, and all the live tracks from various tours
Leave me in the room. lock me in. I’ll be content for days. 😂
