Everybody’s working for the weekend
This week brought us labor day, Gustav, and the passing of Don LaFontaine and Jerry Reed. Jon Bon Jovi is building some stuff in Newark, New Jersey, and Kid Rock is gung ho about the National Guard (not enough to enlist, though, I’ll bet). We also were reminded of some classic misheard lyrics. And while Matt professed his love for fajitas at On The Border, Jamie expressed his desire to live on the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch later-in-life.
I wanna touch the light fajita in your eyes
Hootie & The Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranches
Snowman… You got yer ears on, good buddy?
She seems to have an invisible talk show
Who says you can’t build homes… in Newark?
In a world… without Don LaFontaine’s movie voice

Who says you can’t build homes… in Newark?
Lay your plans on me!
Plans to build 51 units of low-income, special-needs housing in Newark, NJ were unveiled today by Jon Bon Jovi, Mayor Cory Booker and New Jersey Governor Jon Corzineis. The 51-unit Genesis Apartments project is a partnership between The HELP USA Newark Initiative and Bon Jovi’s Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation.
Jon Bon Jovi seems to be a charitable guy, having worked with The Special Olympics, The American Red Cross, The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and Project Home among others.
The song Who Says You Can’t Go Home?, while it drives me crazy since I’m sick of hearing it, does have rather sweet lyrics from Jon Bon Jovi proclaiming his pride of his hometown in New Jersey. The music video version is a duet with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland. The video highlights Bon Jovi’s committment to charitable work, and features Habitat for Humanity volunteers, including members of the AFL team, The Philadelphia Soul. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora are part owners of the team.Tags: american red cross, arena football, bon jovi, cory booker, governor, habitat for humanity, HELP USA, housing, jennifer nettles, jon bon jovi, jon corzineis, low income, mayor, new jersey, newark, philadelphia soul, project home, special needs, special olympics, sugarland, the elizabeth glaser pediatric AIDS foundation, the philadelphia soul charitable foundation, who says you can't go home
