Jon Bon Jovi made a brief appearance at Broughton High School in Raleigh on Friday, February 17. All those who attend Broughton and selected students from the other high schools in Wake County welcomed the rock star with cheers and mementos. Bon Jovi appeared at Broughton as a favor to his manager, Doc McGhee. McGhee, who w'as convicted of helping to smuggle 18.5 tons of marijuana into Carteret County (NC) in 1982, started the Make a Difference Foundation to fulfill a probation agreement which requires community education. The Broughton program was the Foundation’s first effort. Bon Jovi shared the spotlight Friday with Duke basketball All-American Danny Ferry, the N.C. State cheerleaders, and master of ceremonies Steve Reynolds of WRDU. Students listened as Bon Jovi talked about friends in and outside the rock-and-roll business who have had serious drug problems. Bon Jovi placed particular emphasis on his friend Stevie Taylor of Aerosmith, who says that because of his addiction, he can’t remember the year 1976. Taylor is now recovering. Bon Jovi also stressed the need for parents to be sympathetic, remembering that they were once young themselves and that adoles cence has its pressures. He also called on parents to set positive examples where alcohol and drugs are concerned. He said that he does not consider rock music a contributing factor to teens’ drug and alcohol problems. He encouraged students to recognize that life can be extremely difficult and that drugs only add to the complexity.

Over 300 students have produced forty 30-second public-service announcements, all with the theme “Band Together.
