Bon Jovi's rebel posturing comes off as more than a little ridiculous: It's hard to stick it to The Man when you are The Man. But what makes "It's My Life" unforgivable, instead of merely shitty and disingenuous, are the lines, "My heart is like an open highway / Like Frankie said, 'I did it my way.'" I think I speak for everyone when I say "That's Mr. Sinatra to you, asshole."
