Bon Jovi made another triumphant swing through Chicago for a two night stand at the United Center this past week. Jon and the band tossed in a few surprises, much to the delight of the roaring Loyal Loopers.

The rock community sadly suffered the loss of another great performer this past week. Original Alice In Chains bassist Mike Starr passed away at the criminally young age of only 44.
