Old school Tuesday: The Bon Jovi song you forgot about

While we're writing up our thoughts from Monday night's Jon Bon Jovi Unplugged event we attended, we'll take a few minutes here on Old School Tuesday to get you pumped up.

During the fan Q&A portion at the end of the night, Jon Bon Jovi was asked "50 years from now, you're remembered for one song. Which one is it?"

Great question. Hard for any of us to answer let alone Jon.

He wavered for a bit then determined "Livin' on a Prayer" would be his ultimate songwriting legacy.

"I remember sitting in the back of a cab with Richie [Sambora] saying it's not that good, and it should be on the soundtrack for this Fat Boys movie 'Disorderlies.'"

Four things on that:

1) Great quote.
2) Great story.
3) Great movie. (Well, not reallly. More like cult classic.)
4) Here's the song that DID wind up on that "Disorderlies" soundtrack: "Edge of a Broken Heart."

Enjoy Old School Tuesday, and we'll be back around noon or so with more from the Monday Night Jovi fest.
