Bon Jovi's 2006 "Slippery When Wet" Remake

Jon, Ritchie and the boys need to have a little chat with their manager.....It seems that Bon Jovi was flying from a show in Buffalo Sat. on to the next gig in Hamilton, Ontario. When attempting to land, the plane was unable to stop, and it skidded off the end of the runway. No one was injured.
Now, I've lived in the Great Lakes area, and I've played in a couple bands as well. The good part of being a musician is you can have some control on your touring - a band like Bon Jovi has total control. You tour down South or West in the winter, and go North in the Summer.
The ghosts of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens , Otis Redding and Cliff Burton must be shaking their heads today. It's simple physics: large vehicles can't stop on wet or icy pavement. Gloria Estefan almost got killed 15 years ago..... How much money is enough? The music business is not one led easily by common sense, but someone needs to use their brain sometimes...
