Well, here we are into autumn just about, and still no news on that album and tour. Rumours abound but until we know something definite I don't see any point in getting our hopes up. Just have to wait and see.

With no Jovi gigs around, some of us have been out and about seeing various bands. We have to keep our spirits up somehow! You'll find reviews in here from a few of those shows, and no doubt some of you won't like that. But to all the moaners I'll say, just wait until our guys tour again and nobody else will get a look in. Trust me!

I mentioned in the last issue that some of you were complaining about certain names cropping up all the time... oh boy, did that stir up a reaction! I'd like to thank all of you who felt strongly enough to comment on that and those who made the effort to send me a contribution. Please keep it up!

I can't tell you enough, it's YOU who write this mag, not me. I just sit here and put the whole thing together, something which anyone with half a brain could do -- and she does! It's absorbing, compelling, time-consuming, but difficult it ain't! It's you, the BJ family out there who are so generous with your time and talents and make this fanzine as good as it is.

Whatever you are up to, enjoy yourselves and be happy. Let's hope next time we'll have some news for you about you-know-what... I think I say this every time but one day... that monster album will be here! So stay with us for that.

Keep the faith always,

Bren
