Song Of The Day 9/3/2015: Bon Jovi vs. Coldplay – “Livin' La Vida”
Anyway, this mashup pits Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” against Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” What can I tell you? I never was the biggest admirer of Bon Jovi’s populist anthems to stick-to-it-ive-ness – though as a human being, Jon Bon Jovi is pretty freakin’ awesome, because of humanitarian things he does like this. And whither Coldplay, who inspires neither the intense love nor the heated loathing in me as they seem to do in others? I went to one of their shows once and they had an impressive metric ton or so of confetti. I don’t object to Chris Martin, really. He’s fairly self-aware and modest, except in those moments when he’s naming his children after pomaceous fruit.
Yeah, listen, I’ll see you on Saturday. Bring a 12-pack of Mickey's.
