If you like Rock Music, and are from New Jersey, there is no way that you can not include Jon Bon Jovi among your favorites, and since I qualify on both fronts, it is a bit odd that I have waited this long into the Triple Venti Late Night Music Club to add my first Bon Jovi song to the collection. Runaway was actually written back in 1980, but came to prominence in 1983 as was the first single released on Bon Jovi’s first self titled album.

We were just talking about Bon Jovi last night. He has the number 1 album, had a nice feature last week in Parade magazine, and as evident last night at Live Earth, he still sounds great and has aged quite well.
I’ve seen Bon Jovi twice, once opening for Ratt and once as a headliner. Runaway is still my favorite.
This is sooooooooo strange – I downloaded Runaway last week from iTunes (i know, i know..it’s criminal, really, that I am from Jersey and do not own the CD) but I have been working out to this tune and it is such a great one – love it ! Too funny!
