Bon Jovi to promote New Jersey tourism

Bon Jovi might lend their latest single to a new TV commercial that promotes New Jersey tourism - but not without getting some cash. According to the New York Daily News, singer Jon and guitarist Richie Sambora said their home state could use the track, "Who Says You Can't Go Home," but the song's publisher wants $175,000 for the rights. An insider told the paper, "That's not a lot of money. Coke pays millions to use a song in a commercial. People should get paid for what they write. Jon and Richie are good Jersey boys. They've done so much charitable work for the state."

The state Commerce, Economic Growth and Tourism Commission is trying to get the commercial's cost added to its $19.6 million budget.

"Who Says You Can't Go Home" appears on Bon Jovi's latest album, Have A Nice Day.

Bon Jovi will kick off the second leg of their North American trek on January 14th in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After wrapping up in March, they will take a break before going out on a European tour this spring. Nickelback will join the band on the road overseas.
