Jon Bon Jovi is being sued for 400 billion bucks by a
Boston musician who says the singer allegedly borrowed
lyrics from his Boston Red Sox anthem entitled, "(Man I
Really) Love This Team." Samuel Bartley Steele, the
front man for a band calling themselves "The Chelsea
City Council", believes Bon Jovi heard his song while
campaigning in Boston for John Kerry in '04, then used
the lyrics in his own song entitled, "I Love This Town." A
Bon Jovi spokesperson says they haven't seen the lawsuit
yet. Incidently, Jon Bon Jovi has about a gazillion hits
that he has composed all by himself as the leader of Bon
Jovi and as a solo artist... I don't think he's sweating it.
