Ageless Rockstar

After a subway, a wrong train and a missed train, my sister,

mom and I (with little sense of direction among us), made it to Jersey

for one of Bon Jovi’s ten concerts at the new Prudential

Center. They say there’s not a bad

seat in the house (although I beg to differ after seeing the seats behind the

stage), nonetheless I was grateful I was able to get our seats upgraded to the

second row – from there you could almost see how flawless Jon Bon Jovi’s

face is without looking at the giant

screen above his head.

When I met Bon Jovi about a year ago I remember having to

keep myself from staring at his perfect skin and focus on the conversation

rather than wondering what products he uses to keep it that way. When his face

was blown up on the big screen over the stage my mom asked me if he’s had

botox. I told her he hadn’t confided in me on his skincare regimens lately but his

face still moves, so I’ll make an educated guess, no. Chemical peels maybe?

Whatever it is, I think many would be thankful for him to share the secret.

His stamina matched his age-defying appearance as he ran

around the stage for nearly two hours singing a healthy dose of classics like “Living

on a Prayer” as well as a full serving of new songs from “Lost Highway.”

People often tell me I look 12. I used to attribute looking

young to genes, but maybe making a career largely centered on having fun keeps

you young.
