And when he kicks, he kicks hard...

If truth be told, this guy sure isn't playing when it comes to kicking people in the nuts. Not literally - although that would have made for some nice headlines, I'm sure - but be sure to stay out of his way if you know what's good for you, 'cause when Jon Bon Jovi decides to take a swipe at someone, he sure aims for the soft spots. And he's not gentle - remember that Madonna scandal last year?

His targets of choice this week were British band Oasis and British singer Robbie Williams. Hmmm. I have been wondering for a while now if Bon Jovi should have gone on the list of Anglophobes, but I never had definitive confirmation until now. And it looks like Mr. Righteousness doesn't have a very good opinion about Robbie Williams, who in all fairness does seem to have fallen out of grace for the time being with the British audience. And there's no better time to strike than when a guy's guard is down, so here goes Jon saying "Robbie Williams? That guy couldn't even fill a bar. He couldn't sell 500 tickets". Ouch!

About Oasis, he claims that the members of the band are way too arrogant for their own good and that in fact they are just as worthless as Robbie in what he is concerned. "Oasis couldn't fill a bar either - and they're full of themselves" he said. And since he wanted to make it a hat trick of "I hate all things British", he also had a few words to say about Babyshambles front man Pete Doherty. "We're not familiar with Pete Doherty in the US" he stated, "other than his antics and the fact that he's always in trouble - I've never heard a single one of his songs".

From this statement, my Sherlock Holmes logic allows me to deduce that if Jon Bon Jovi hasn't heard someone singing, that someone literally doesn't exist. And although I fully agree Doherty is no Elvis and that he's a huge troublemaker with little respect for anything around him, I do think Bon Jovi's gone just a little too far with all three of his statements. And in case you were wondering what came next, well, next came a series of insinuations about David Beckham, who recently moved to the States and whom he sees as "past his prime". OK, is there a British someone about whom this guy doesn't have things to comment?
