"'The Power Station was like college for me,' laughs Bongiovi. 'Power Station University, that was the running joke at my house.' It's hardly a joke anymore. John Bongiovi has graduated with honors." - Jon Bon Jovi, Aquarian "Catch a Rising Star" article.

In an NPR "Fresh Air" radio interview in 2009, Jon remembers the station being "so new that I was able to not only walk into the station but knock on the deejay's booth. And it's like a scene...he (DJ Chip Hobart) looked over his shoulder, and he saw a kid holding a cassette tape. On a break, he came out and he said, you know, 'who are you, what do you want?'...I played him the stuff, and he says, 'Boy, that sounds like a hit song to me.'

The single went on to be a hit on WAPP and then in markets throughout the country. Chip Hobart's support and impact on Bon Jovi cannot be understated.​
