Obviously he's grown, but I don't think he's really changed that much as a person. We just see more of him now than we did back then.
You might want to read Starman before making the assumption that he was a goody two shoes.

I only saw the quote about David, not Richie - on what page is it?

Again, Jon sometimes comes across a douchebag IMO - knowing this was before / right at the moment they hitting the big time.

Like someone said somewhere else, Jon was never that fun good old rock n' roll dude I thought him to be. Don't get me wrong, I admire him for a lot of things, amongst other his focus and dedication, but I wish the band was still that brotherhood I liked in the first place, instead of this JBJ driven machine.

Thankx for the links btw!

I meant how Richie would work hard and Dave would flake and he had to tell him to shape up. I like how it worded as if that was the reason he didn't have many song writing credits on the album but future albums will be different.
