Bravewords.com reports that the all-female Bon Jovi tribute band, Blonde Jovi has been threatened with legal action if they don’t change their name and/or logo. You can read a portion of the legal letter sent to Blonde Jovi by Bon Jovi’s legal team at Bravewords.com. Blonde Jovi have changed their name and wrote a blog entry explaining why.

The top 20 ticket sellers of 2008 are in and there are 11 bands/artists that can be considered rock. Even though I would consider Coldplay to be more Pop music than rock, we’ll give it to them here.

The Eagles took #4, selling 90.7 million dollars in tickets. The Eagles released their first studio album since 1979 with The Long Road Out Of Edin which sold over 7 million copies in the U.S. and was sold Exclusively through Walmart and Sam’s Club for the first year of it’s release.

Before I get to the title story let me first say this and show you a few things. I don’t have a problem with Bon Jovi per se, but a recent post by Anti-music kind of caught my eye and it brought light to a crazy ordeal that I think is rather ridiculous. I know and understand that after 25 years, Bon Jovi still has a gigantic fan base and these guys don’t come cheap. They need to pay the taxes and mortgage on their 30 million dollar houses and the insurance on their Bently’s and sh*t.

Bon Jovi is only one of a few rather big named musicians such as Bob Dylan, that has showed his support for the Presidential hopeful.
