A Man of Many Traits…

Why I Chose John…

• I chose John as my famous person because he is a role model for me. He is a concerned family man, and has never had any bad publicity that I am aware of. Also because, as a child I grew up listening to his music all the time with my dad. My respect for him grew after I went to his concert. Bon Jovi is a fantastic band, and I suggest you give them a try!
