Bad Medicine - Bon Jovi

I ain't got a fever got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money but it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me
I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3

Another song from the best band to come out of New Jersey, "Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi is a killer rockin' song that uses a LOT of medical metaphors and analogies to discuss how his love for this woman is like a drug addiction.

Released in 1988, "Bad Medicine" made it to Number 1 for the band, and was included first on their incredibly successful New Jersey album (along with one of my favorite songs of all time "I'll Be There For You")

This song completely kicks ass, of course, and is still a staple at all Bon Jovi concerts. I've even seen the band include a minute-long musical rendition of the classic song "Shout" in the middle of there live concert version of "Bad Medicine"

Enjoy the rock behind the song, and have a good giggle at some of these lyrics. You'll love it!

Our Wedding Song and a Bridal Call For Action

Alright you guys, I am using this post on my blog to share my engagement buddy's poor experience with a wedding photographer, and then I'll share what will most likely be my wedding song when my fiance and I get married in October :)

Recently, Jared Lee Photography, based in LaCrosse, WI, opened up a photo voting contest for wedding photography. My friends, Beth and Joel who are recently engaged, entered the competition, and over a few weeks, gained 100 votes more than the couple that was declared the winner today.

Beth, Joel and I would like to shed light on this unfair competition, and while my friends are upset, they do not wish to be vindictive - they only want their story told.

So, Minnesota and Wisconsin Brides - please do NOT choose shady photographer Jared Lee Photography as your wedding photographer after running his unprofessional and unfair competition.

Now, on to something nicer :)

My fiance has been completely surprising me in wedding planning the last couple weeks, and recently he mentioned that he liked the idea of having the song "Keeper Of The Stars" by Tracy Byrd as our wedding song. I have to admit, it's a fantastic choice, full of love and sweet, romantic meaning. And, it recently won the K102 Top 10 Wedding Song's number 1 spot, as voted on by the radio station's listeners.

So, just wanted to share what will potentially be our wedding song. Give it a listen!
