2. Tell us your Favorite Bon Jovi Story (a time when you met them, how they've influenced you, most memorable appearance/concert..etc.)
3. How good of a Manager are you? The band had a late concert and partied all night. They need to be out of the hotel in 2 hours and they're still sleeping. You have one hour to get them out of bed, describe how you would get each band member up and out.
