I’ve seen a million faces…

...and I’ve rocked them all.

Bon Jovi was my intro to an interesting meeting today at physical therapy.  They keep a radio on very softly at the pool; you can barely hear it when in the water.  Somehow over the gurgle of the filters and the splashing, those bell-like acoustic notes that open “Wanted (Dead or Alive) “ carried across the pool and the guy next to me says “Is that Bon Jovi?” “It certainly is,” I responded. “I can’t hear the damn song, but that guitar is unmistakable.”

We started chatting as we bobbed about in the water and I learned too much about him.  For example, he was, before he started therapy, a 556 pound crackhead.

Five hundred and fifty-six pounds, ON CRACK.  Smoked it.  Through a pipe.  Hundred bucks a day or more.  556.  I didn’t think you could stay fat on crack, and especially be massively obese.  I kind of figured crack was the next best diet after starvation itself.  Learn something new every day.

Sometimes you tell a day by the bottle that you drink indeed…
