Richie Sambora: Livin' on a prayer?
Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was arrested Tuesday night on Coast Highway in Laguna Beach for drunk driving. The popular axeman was commandeering a black hummer, in whose confines sat three women, two of whom were (and still are) minors. OC Register has the story here.

*The stupidest noisemakers ever, a thin piece of cardboard which fans were supposed to fold up like an accordion and slap them like a tambourine. Did some idiots complain about having to blow too hard to inflate the old ThunderStix, which worked so well in 2002?
*Stupid little kids who sing the National Anthem. That's not patriotism, that's anarchy.
*Joe Saunders and Jered Weaver (badly) lip-synching to a stupid Bon Jovi song on a video that played between innings.

entertainer who plays Bon Jovi for her pole-dancing finale. (She thinks
she's rocking out like it's 1988 on the Sunset Strip, but she's really
putting on a sad bio-drama.) Likewise, sometimes it's embarrassing to
admit that my favorite spinners--John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, DJ Dan--all made their first splashes deep within the Clinton era. Kids
