Jon Bon Jovi Duets With Bruce Springsteen at All-Star MusiCares Salute: Who Says You Can’t Go Home to the Promised Land?
MusiCares' salute to Bon Jovi included performances by Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain, Jason Isbell, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll and host Jim Gaffigan.
Looking at “the musical powerhouses Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney — now, hear me out: a reboot of the Traveling Wilburys.” After a pause, he added, “I see Robert Kraft as the lead,” referring to the New England Patriots CEO who was sharing the veteran rockers’ company. Introducing Bon Jovi before the award was handed out, the sports mogul Kraft sang his praises, saying, “Unlike the majority of artists and performers who understandably are insular, Jon’s always had an empathy for the world at large, and he’s shown that impact as a philanthropist. The big-energy moments of the night included two more Nashvillians, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson, doing “We Weren’t Born to Follow” and “Bad Medicine,” respectively — a reminder of the time Bon Jovi briefly flirted going country, and how the South continues to take to him almost as fervently as NJ ever did.
