Jon Bon Jovi is NOT Fond of Celebrity Culture

Jon Bon Jovi is usually pretty reserved in interviews, but he made an exception when speaking to Australia’s The Sunday Project.  

JBJ’s went on a rant regarding reality stars who are, more or less, famous for being famous saying, “I think it’s horrific that we live in that world and I can tell you I’ve never given 60 seconds of my life, ever, to one of those Housewives of Blah Blah and Kardashians.”

He seemed to single out Kim Kardashian in particular when saying, “What’s gonna be in your autobiography? ‘I made a porno and guess what I got famous.’ F**k, sorry, I’ll pass...Go and write a book, paint a painting, act, study, sing, play write. Fame is a by-product of writing a good song.”

And Jon sure has written some good ones, which is why when Bon Jovi goes out on tour, they’re always one of the top grossing tours that year.  

Side note:  Anybody else wish JBJ was always this candid?  How much fun would that be?!
