I was driving to Atlantic City on Tuesday and had the radio on one of the better stations in the Philly area, WXPN. They were playing some decent tunes and then had a taped interview with this guy. He was talking about how he helped Bon Jovi write such "great" songs as "Living on a Prayer" and Aerosmith's "Dude Look Like a Lady". Then he talked about how "good rock and roll was taken over by Alternative Rock...that had a lot of negative content" and so forth. So Bon Jovi was "good rock 'n roll"? And how about "Dude Look Like a Lady". He said they had this line "Cruisin' for the ladies" and he didn't like it and told them so. Later that day, the title just popped in his head but Joe Perry told him it would probably upset the tgay community so he was against it. Well, DC tells him "I'm gay and it's not offensive, so go with it".

He went on to say that Alternative Rock drove him to Nashville where he writes country songs for others and that he will never leave. I say "good riddance". Country got what it deserves.
