“Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.” – Jon Bon Jovi

Ain’t that the truth. And Mr. Jon B. Jovi applies that to absolutely everything he does. Even when singing lyrics like “When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day.”

Just got back from the grocery store, where I was lucky enough to hear “Have a Nice Day” while in the bread aisle. I’d never heard the song before, but it was instantly recognizable as a Bon Jovi song. Who else could sing it with so much seriousness and urgency.

Hearing Bon Jovi sing this song with so much passion just reminds me of Trey Parker, the only other person I’ve ever known of (besides me) who took such great delight in imitating singers who sing so hard with such great seriousness.

His song “Montage” from South Park and Team America is a great illustration…

Have a nice day.
