It’s not all doom and gloom, though. On Tuesday, Jovi lead singer Jon Bon Jovi was named to the White House Council for Community Solutions by President Barack Obama.
Bon Jovi, who will have to accept as small consolation his recent appointment to a White House advisory council, which he can then hopefully parlay into an executive order forcing the Hall to take him.
