"Do you really want to know why I'm doing all this goodwill, and why I'm an ambassador for Habitat for Humanity and why I gave a million to (Hurricane) Katrina?
"It's because I feel guilty about the huge hole in the ozone layer my haircuts created. It's my responsibility to right the wrongs of the Eighties".

Jon Bon Jovi 

Well, just because this song is a bonus track, so the lyrics are not included in the CD and I have only found them on the internet, I write them down as a reminder :)

Bon Jovi, 'Dirty Little Secret'

I light a candle
In the garden of love
To blind the angels
Looking down from above
I want, I need
The fruit of your pine
It tastes so bitter sweet
Cause I know it's not mine
I want to come inside

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it
Our dirty little secret

We act like strangers
When you're holding his hand
Cause there's a danger
That we both understand
We run like thiefs
Through the temple of sin
Till we fall on our knees then you go back to him
I want to feel alive

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it
Our dirty little secret

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it

Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret
Our dirty little secret

I find it quite science fictional, as if it was about a world where there are no more rock concerts. I can't get enough of it.

Album:		Have A Nice Day
Track:		LAST MAN STANDING

Come see a living, breathing spectacle only seen right here
It's your last chance in this lifetime, the line forms at the rear
You won't believe your eyes
Your eyes will not believe your ears
Get your money out, get ready
Step right up, yeah you, come here

You ain't seen nothing like him, he's the last one of the breed
Better hold on to your, honey
Honeys, don't forget to breathe
Enter at your own risk, mister
It might change the way you think
There's no dancers, there's no diamonds
No, this boy don't lip synch

Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel… the real thing

See those real live calloused fingers wrapped around those guitar strings
Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered
It breaks your heart to hear them sing
The songs were more than music, they were pictures from the soul
So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk
And your digital downloads

Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
To come and see, hear, feel… the real thing

Take your seats, now folks – it's showtime
Hey, Patrick, hit the lights
There's something in the air, there's magic in the night
Now here's the band, the really play
I'll count the first one in
I don't know where it's going
We all know where it's been

Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
To come and see, hear, feel…
The last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel…
The real thing, the real thing, the real thing, the real thing…

Take a look around, this is what I see
Is there anybody else that feels like me, yeah
You sweat, you sweat, you bleed, you bleed
What you get ain't what you see
Up is down and black is white to me

I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
I heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, yeah
I'm complicated, yeah

I'm smart enough to know what I don't know
I'm fool enough to stay when I should go
You work, you work, you cry, you cry
You watch your whole life pass you by
Sometimes you've got to close your eyes to see

I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
Heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, yeah
I'm complicated, yeah

Is there anybody out there?
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there, Just like me

I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
I heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's okay, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying, ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
Heard that song but I won't play it

Is there anybody out there?
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there
Just like me
Is there anybody out there
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there
Just like me
I'm complicated

Hello. This is my first entry, so I'll introduce myself.
Well, actually you may find the basic knowledge about me in my profile, and for the rest I think you had better know me through what I will write in the blog.
However, I think two things are missing in my profile: the first one is that I'm a journalist (don't ask me for whom I work, I'm just a free lance, you'll know the details later), the second one that I'm Italian but I live in France, in Lyon to be exact.

Ok, so now let's come to the title of this blog: it's a quotation from the latest Bon Jovi single, 'Have a Nice Day' (so you have also the title of this entry explained), which I like a real lot (actually, I think it's simply one of the best songs Bon Jovi have ever written... they're like the good wine, getting better with age... well, just what they say in one of their songs: 'not old, just older'). You may find the lyrics and a link to hear the song here.
You may also see the video at the Bon Jovi website but you have to sign up first.

What I also like is what is written in the press release: '“Have a Nice Day” itself is a defiant response to the disappointment the singer felt after the 2004 presidential election. He had campaigned for Democratic nominee John Kerry. But in true Bon Jovi fashion, the song rises into a chorus that counsels renewed conviction in the face of setbacks, optimism against opposition, standing your moral ground regardless of the consequences: “I ain’t gonna do what I don’t want to/I’m gonna live my life...When the world gets in my face, I say/Have a nice day!”'. How can't you just LOVE such a man? :-)

Well, let's get back to me: now you know I already have an Italian blog. I can even tell you I have more blogs: another one in Italian about science fiction dinners in Milan (Cenacolo), and one in English about Turkey (Turkish Diary). So what's the use of one more blog?

Two reasons for the existence of this blog: first of all, I needed something about me for my non-Italian friends. Secondly, I discovered Live Journal at the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) in Glasgow, because most of the people I found there have a page here, so I became obsessed by the thought that I HAD TO HAVE A LIVE JOURNAL PAGE TOO!!!

Well, it's all for now. If you have been frightened by me, don't worry: it's just normal.
