Persuasive PowerPoint By: Mrs. Regan
Very few bands that have been around for over 25 years can still claim the highest- grossing tour in 2010 like Bon Jovi did • Bon Jovi is the best band in the world! • Lyrics are relevant to peoples lives • Great live performers (concerts) • Philanthropists
Relevant Lyrics • Relationships • Hard times • Current events (Bounce album after 9/11) (Griffin)
Live Performance • Sound just like on the CD • Jon very energetic frontman • Gets audience involved (on-stage passes) (Griffin)
Philanthropy • Founded Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation Charitable organization in 2006 • The musician’s philanthropic efforts in the Delaware Valley began in 2006 when he helped support the construction of nearly 300 affordable housing units in Philadelphia. • Donated a million dollars to Oprah’s Angel Network to help rebuild homes after Hurricane Katrina • Very involved with Habitat for Humanity • Opened JBJ Soul Kitchen (restaurant for homeless people) (Cooney)
Counter-Argument • Other great bands out there • Not everyone’s style or taste in music
Conclusion • Many bands in the world, but none like Bon Jovi • Lyrics are relevant • Great performers • Involved with many different charitable organizations These are just a few of the many reasons this band is still “Living on a Prayer!”
