Take my hand and we'll make it I swear

Good thing it wasn't David Lee Roth.

And in case you think 'hero' is too good a label for JBJ, check out his foundation, what he's done and continues to do, for folks in impoverished communities.

I've not met the guy but I can only imagine he's a class act.

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

Excellent stuff.

This guy hasn't even been accused of sexual assault yet. He's rich and famous and was a "chick magnet" in his days (yes that was his official title, and probably still is). Maybe he's the unicorn

He also runs a charity restaurant that serves free meals to anyone who can't pay. Dude is a saint

[–] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He must be...he's celebrating his 35th wedding anniversary this year.

But really, how can you say no to that face?

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Shiver me timbers

Flash news! Engaging in consensual sex could prevent you from being sued for rape? Come see how this one star revolutionises sex!

It helps when you're Jon Bo Jovi. If it had just been John Bongiovi, she might have jumped.

Good thing it wasn't nickleback.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

I would have climbed back over the rail and pushed them over. Then taken a picture.

[–] astrsk@fedia.io 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Or Dave Mathew’s band.

[–] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 3 points 10 months ago

Agreed. The best part of Dave Matthews went into the Chicago River.

[–] Darkaga@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Real fans call him Dave.
