No is not, but I wish it were... for a time.

We all agreed here that the break shoulda been longer, they shoulda have time to rest, to write lots of new songs and gave time to the casuals to rest of so much Bon Jovi overload.

I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart, when I was 7 years old my father gave my mother the Crush cassette, and I fell in love with this band. They were and are with me my whole life, when I was 9 and I downloaded my first pirate album (yeah! it was Bounce, then I bought it though) and I loved it! They were with me when I bought my first album with my own money New Jersey, they were with me when I learned the meaning of "acoustic" with the This Left Feels Right version of It's My Life. I remember listening Have A Nice Day on my discman on my graduation trip with my friends, I remember staying late to watch the live version of (You Want To) Make A Memory live on American Idol in the bed with my mother, and the most magical night of my life was the night I saw the band live. Everywhere I look back in my life, Bon Jovi was there.

Maybe some of you will not get this, because you were turned when you already "grew up", or were at highschool; but surely people of my generation will understand: Bon Jovi was with me my whole life, since day one, and I was a fan all my life.

It would make me sad to see the band breaking up, because this is the band I was born with, this is the band I saw on the booklets and this is the band that made the soundtrack of my life. But it'd make me even sadder to see them go on without Richie, turning little by little into a Jon Bon Jovi & Friends band, releasing medicore records and destroying all the legacy they made. And don't get me wrong! I love Jon solo stuff, but I don't want the band turn into that. I want the band to be Jon, Richie and David writing and recording in a studio with Tico, and then the four of them touring. If they're not doing that, they shouldn't be using the name Bon Jovi.

I honestly hope that if they "break up", they'll make an hiatus and come back in some years, maybe three, with a new great album and tour... and Richie. And no Bobby. And they'll stop caring so much about the money they already have, and start to have fun, you watch the show of 2001, 2003, 2005... This is a completely different band. This is a live show now, not a live band.

If they break up, and release solo stuff, I'll buy it, and support it, and hope that Jon and Richie come to Argentina to see them both live! If they continue without Richie, I'll be mad, but hey... I can't hate these guys unless they kill my family or something like this. I'm gonna go to their shows, and buy their albums, and support them, always. Doesn't matter how bad is a tour, a show or an album, I'll always support them.

Hope they stop adding dates (they're doing it, they already signed the Argentina contract yesterday) and to the honorable thing: wait for Richie to come back, let him do his stuff, and then rock a million faces!

If this is goodbye, we'll always have the memories.
