About this ebook
The main story is about the Big Green Freak who goes to bed one night and has a dream that is in several parts. After each part he is asked "Who will save New Jersey"? When he wakes up, he is greeted by his girlfriend, April. Later that day they attend the Oprah Show; so follow his story as he is picked by Oprah to share his dream and also give the answer to the question that kept being asked of him. There are several other short stories that follow about other albums made by the band collectively and by each individual member, Jon, Richie and David. Because Tico, Hugh and Alec, to my knowledge, have never produced individual musical work, I still have recognised them in the back section of the book.

Age is but a number so at 59 years of age and after raising my family i was watching a Bon Jovi concert that took me back to a part of my youth that I had missed. I first got the idea of this book as I was watching a Bon Jovi concert fron Madison Garden. A neighbour was also watching it with me and I started putting the song titles into sentences. As an avid Bon Jovi fan, I had collected all their albums and a lot of DVD concerts. I have all of the band members individual works; even before they became the Bon Jovi band and all of David's musical soundtracks. From the first sentence I was able to create this book using just song titles and then followed this book with other books from different artists song titles of different genres of music. i enjoy writing these books and my daughters enjoy reading and editing them for me.

DEDICATION
I would like to dedicate and say a big THANK YOU to the guys who make up the greatest band, BON JOVI who are Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Tico Torrens and Hugh McDonald (and Alec John Such). Without the well written songs, perseverance and the personal sacrifices that you have all made for your ever loyal fans; this book could not have been written.
I would also like to dedicate and say thank you to my Earth Angel David and his friends, who inspire and motivate me to achieve things that I never dreamt were possible.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank my daughters, Jenny and Kylie for their positive but critical input in the first draft of this book and all the help and support that they have given me throughout the Song Title Series books. With taking their input to mind, I have improved and slightly changed the original book for this e-book version.
I would also like to thank my son Peter and his family for their support and help in keeping me grounded.
I would like to say thank you to Kay and Julie for their patience and understanding whilst teaching me and giving me the skills to present my unique books in the best way possible.
I would like to Marcie for help with the Spanish translation.
I would like to thank everyone else who has helped me bring this book to life and to you for purchasing it.
INTRODUCTION
At the age of 59 years old and being the grandmother of three, I was watching one of the concerts that Bon Jovi did at Madison Square Garden with a friend. I had always loved Bon Jovi since they first started playing but was not able to follow them due to raising my family. As the concert progressed, I started to put the song titles of the songs they were playing in sentences. While I was sitting at my dining room table with the David Bryan CDs the following day, a short story, about a page long, using his song titles came into my head and I wrote it down. From there I began writing short stories of about one page using the other band members. As I like a challenge, I decided to try bigger stories using more song titles and the biggest challenge was this book. Once I started on it, the words just kept flowing and within three weeks I had it all written, then it was a matter of putting it together. Getting it right was important because legally I can not use Lyrics or Music because of Copyright but I can use song titles. Also due to the nature of my books; legally I must place a Reference (exactly as it is down loaded) and Bibliography after the story. I have not attempted to plagiarize or disregard anyone’s copyright by the use of the pictures and the actual pictures used in this book were legally obtained at the time by the original publisher of this book and are mentioned in the bibliography.
Grab a drink, sit down and join Oprah as she chooses the Big Green Freak to tell his story of the dream he had the previous night. Follow his story through the vivid Hollywood Dreams and how his life today has changed from those experiences. Find out the real answer to the mysterious question that is being asked of him throughout the book and know that a total of 1,284 song titles have been used to make this story possible but don’t forget that because of using the original song titles in whole, there are places in the book that could be changed to make it more comprehensible. Every song title from every album, concert on video or DVD, whether it be by the band collectively or solo pieces from each individual band member that I own, has been used in this story. It doesn’t matter how many times a song has been played at different times; the title is used that many times and not just once.
When reading this Song Title Series
book, I hope that no disservice has been done to the band as well as their adoring fans who read it, for that was not my intention. As I may have missed a song, an album or a concert within this book I do apologize sincerely. I have created and written this story without the sanctity of the band and I hope that if they read this they will enjoy it as well.
INTO THE NETHERWORLD
During the taping of one of her shows, Oprah asked if anyone had recently had any strange dreams.
"Choose me, Oprah!" said the Big Green Freak and I will tell you all about it.
Go ahead and tell us what your dream was all about.
Oprah said.
Well
said the Freak, "wandering into the Netherworld was like wandering into many Hollywood dreams that you can walk through anytime you wanted to.
The time that I accidentally stumbled into it, was August 7, 4.15 and it was that hot; 99 in the shade and it wasn’t even the summertime. I was fascinated by the endless horizon from where many walking paths, roads and cruising lines would go.
On one line there was a mystery train that was going to a destination anywhere. A group of people walked around a bed of roses towards the train. A colored woman came up to me and introduced herself and said her name was April and everyday she would board the train and have a nice day at wherever she went and suggested that I should take a trip on the train, maybe even on the one that was leaving soon.
Curiosity welled up in me, so I boarded the train and just after we left the station, the rail staff began serving refreshments but I was warned that they always serve Bitter Wine that tasted like really bad medicine.
Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars were amongst the passengers in my carriage and when the music came across the speakers in the carriage they got up and did the Netherworld Waltz down the narrow aisle.
The train stopped to take on more refreshments at a little hut on the side of the track and during the interlude I looked out of the window and watched the sun set in a blaze of glory. A single thought came into my head at that moment and that was "Hey God, I believe that it’s my life to live the way I want to, however, I thank you for the entire world and all of its beauty. I will keep the faith I have in you because you do open your heart to everyone including those people who are livin’ in sin."
I had been sitting down for quite awhile so I decided to stretch my legs and explore the rest of the train. The next carriage was fitted out like a saloon. It had a bar where you buy drinks, tables and seats, a book shelf holding many different
