| What is the story with that fellow, and why does he seem to be the butt of so many jokes? |

He's a British institution. He sand classics like "We're all Going on a Summer Holiday" and "Forever a bachelor boy". He's still a bachelor, but thats because he doesn't like women in that way.
When Elvis started they called him "The American Cliff Richard". |

| Cliff is a living dinosaur. Its just that the meteorite didn't kill him and now evolution has bypassed him. |

Now, now, do the British ask the Americans to explain Bon Jovi? Or for the Canadians to justify Bryan Adams?

I don't want you to justify the man. I just want to figure out why he is made fun of in some of the books I have read recently by British authors.
Bon Jovi can be explained easily. He is actually a Canadian disgused as an American. |
