Slippery When Wet

I just had to laugh at this headline in the Globe and Mail: Bon Jovi finds Hamilton airport slippery when wet. Apparently poor Bon Jovi's private plane skidded off the runway at the Hamilton Airport. Ah Bon Jovi. Ah Slippery When Wet. So many memories. This was the very first album I have ever owned that was all mine and not just mine to share with my sisters. I got it for my birthday in grade 6 and I could probably still sing along to every word even now. This was in the good old days when Bon Jovi had all that long rocker hair. I mean look at that picture! Is there anything to match true 80s rocker hair?! Apparently Slippery When Wet is still one of the six best-selling hard rock or heavy metal albums ever. Very impressive. And let's not forget that it also boasts the song Livin' on a Prayer, the in-depth lyric analysis of which can be found here.
