Livin' on a Prayer! What Bon Jovi Taught Us about Our Cultural Double Standard
Rock star Bon Jovi has received much media attention lately. Seeing a woman standing on the edge of a bridge, he cared enough to talk her out of jumping. She eventually came over the railing and received a big hug from him. Bon Jovi’s kindness was praised and resonated deeply with many. Yet, this heroic act of kindness also inadvertently reveals a culture deeply at odds with itself. Join Andy, Steve, and Troy as they discuss how our culture simultaneously champions those who want to end their life and those who talk people out of it.
