Bon Jovi fans get psyched Dave Roepke, The Forum Published Sunday, April 13, 2008 Is it Jon Bon Jovi or Don Juan Jovi? Now don’t object on the grounds that the rock star – whose namesake band will perform at the Fargodome on Saturday – has been married to his high school sweetheart for nearly two decades or that they’ve got four kids. Pfftt. Apparent lack of use has not dulled L.L. Cool Jon’s powers. When The Forum put out the call a little more than a week ago for self-identified Bon Jovi superfans, we heard from about 20 fans – every one of them female. Perhaps that’s to be expected with a pop-rock band like Bon Jovi that’s made a long-lasting name on the consistent strength of its radio-ready ballads. Dude etiquette allows appreciation but not adulation of that sort of thing. But the bonhomie toward Bon Jovi didn’t just come exclusively from women. It came from an age range that stretched from young fans born after the band broke in the mid-1980s to middle-aged ladies that grew up with Bon Jovi to retirement-age women who got on the bandwagon later in life. People magazine knew what it was doing the three times it named Jon Bon Jovi world’s sexiest rock star. Jon Bon Jovi, shown performing on March 31 in Denver, will visit Fargo for the first time Saturday. Associated Press Jon Bon Jovi, shown performing on March 31 in Denver, will visit Fargo for the first time Saturday. Associated Press RELATED CONTENT In-Forum Web Icon Alie Thoreson Dave Roepke Archive What gets these gals going about the guys from New Jersey, specifically the golden-maned one born John Francis Bongiovi Jr.? Read on to find out. ‘Strait’ shooter Sandy Ives, a 69-year-old retiree from Moorhead, first saw Jon Bon Jovi on a TV show where he had a short-running guest stint as a hunky handyman. “I figured if he could act that well, he certainly must be able to sing that well,” Ives says. “He gives you a full feeling of satisfaction, which is very nice.” The satisfying part, Ives says, is that she gets a vibe of genuineness from Bon Jovi’s frontman. “He is just so real,” she says. “To me, he’s like George Strait. You can feel that uniqueness.” Ives is disabled with back troubles and on a fixed income, so she won’t be at the dome Saturday unless she’s able to score a free ticket. But she has been stocking a little cash away in hopes of adding more Bon Jovi to a tape cassette collection that already includes “Keep the Faith,” “7800° Fahrenheit” and “Have a Nice Day.” News in Jovi-land The phone rang as Lori Bellemare was snoozing through the 10 p.m. newscast. It was her niece, letting her know that a “major concert announcement” was coming at the end of the broadcast. “I rolled off the couch and on to my feet. I just said, ‘Oh my God,’ through the whole news. I thought, ‘Who else could it be?’ ” she recalls. This was moon-landing level news in Jovi-land, which is what Bellemare, a 45-year-old Moorhead woman, calls her kitchen. She’s a massive fan of the band, each Christmas moving her homemade Bon Jovi ornament from its usual spot at her desk on to the tree. A few years back, she had a birthday cake with Jon’s mug on it. It was about a month before she could bring herself to eat the face portion. “You have to be realistic about it. He’s married. I’m married. I just love the guitar-playing and the singing,” she says. Saturday will mark her first Bon Jovi concert, as she’s not big on travel and this is the band’s first visit here. “He’ll probably make me cry like a teenager,” she says. Rock mom hits road Vicki Richard was washing dishes when she heard a sound from the living room. It was her daughter, watching footage of the “Keep the Faith” tour. “I said, ‘Who is that?’ ” she says. “It just clicked with me. It excited me.” Fast-forward about a decade and a half, and Richard is still excited about Bon Jovi. She’s driving 800 miles from Illinois to go with her daughter – Susan Richard of Moorhead – to their fourth Jovi concert. This “rocking mom,” as her 30-year-old daughter calls her, thinks Bon Jovi’s longevity is a matter of rolling with the punches – like the band’s foray with a modern Nashville sound on its 2007 CD, “Lost Highway.” “He goes with whatever’s popular in the day. He keeps with the times,” she says. Hoople’s ‘Jovi girls’ Folks in Hoople, N.D., know what to dial up on the jukebox when Kari Pastorek, Stacey Reilly, Lois Estad and Leigh Kringstad walk into the bar. They are, after all, the “Jovi girls.” “Everybody in town knows that we love them,” Kringstad says. The foursome, all natives of the town of about 300 that’s 50 miles northwest of Grand Forks, range in age from the mid-30s to the mid-40s and share a love of Bon Jovi that drew them to three shows on the “Lost Highway” tour, one in Winnipeg and two in St. Paul. The Fargodome will be No. 4. Only Reilly had to miss one of those concerts, due to a conflict with one of her kid’s music programs. She tried to wiggle out of it, but in the end, “I had to be a mom,” she says. They’ve printed out and studied the lyrics to many of the band’s hits to make sure they’ve got them down pat, and Estad had a recent dream in which lead guitarist Richie Sambora taught her how to play the six-string. Second-gen BNJVI Alie Thoreson tries to incorporate Bon Jovi in all aspects of her life, from school projects to her upcoming wedding, where the first dance will be the group’s late-1980s hit “I’ll Be There for You.” The 21-year-old even sports a Bon Jovi license plate on her car – though the plate actually reads BNJVI. “I couldn’t get the vowels version. Somebody else has it. I was really disappointed,” she says. The Bon Jovi Fan Club member will be rocking her seventh concert by the band come Saturday, the previous six all being in St. Paul. She likes the mix of variety and consistency the band brings. “The songs are so diverse, yet they have that distinct Bon Jovi sound,” she says. In a switch of how it worked with Richard, the rocking mom, it was Thoreson’s mom who turned her on to Bon Jovi on car rides to school when she was younger. “I think I definitely outshine her now,” she says. One fan appeared in Bon Jovi video Michele Hannie will never forget what cemented her love of Bon Jovi. But if she does, all she’ll have to do is fire up the video for a reminder. In March 1993, Hannie was one of about 1,000 fans who stuck around after a Bon Jovi show at what is now Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Madison, Wis., to provide crowd shots for the music video of the band’s song “In These Arms.” “It was just kind of a freak thing,” says Hannie, a public relations and communication service assistant at MeritCare. She wasn’t in the front row, so all that is really visible is, fittingly enough, her arms. Hannie says the shoot took about 90 minutes as the band “played the song over and over and over again.” Jon Bon Jovi played acoustic during the taping breaks, taking requests from the crowd. “I must have a really boring life,” she jokes. “It’s definitely one of the highlights.”

les fans aux USA les ont pas laissés tomber.............on peut se demander ce que sont devenus les fans français par contre..........je me sens assez proche du témoignage de cette femme : " You have to be realistic about it. He’s married. I’m married. I just love the guitar-playing and the singing,” she says.

Saturday will mark her first Bon Jovi concert, as she’s not big on travel and this is the band’s first visit here.

“He’ll probably make me cry like a teenager,” she says.
