I have to ask, who besides me would get some satisfaction from being the one to dump a bucket of ice water on Richie? Supported him for so long?? Maybe he needs a good cold shower.

Just remember to unplug his guitar first -- water and electricity don't mix!

I'll try to remember that, don't want any sparks to fly.

On a positive, just saw an I Heart radio post that over 13 million has been raised in a few weeks. I suspect that is a record, the power of ice water and celebrity.

To put that number in perspective, this time last year ALS had donations of around $1.7 million so it's been a huge success.

Not surprising that we are still waiting on Richie to do the challenge. Is he aware, there is a time limit? And the excuse that he is travelling, doesn't cut it.

It'd be silly to be mad at him for THIS wouldn't it?

I always thought that it was okay to use it in the place of "meaning" as well. Which works perfectly in this scenario.

Wiktionary actually says it means "that is to say", which would also work just fine.

Here we go again. Another thread that leads into Richie and Jon's pissing match.

Bottom line, this is not the first time Jon and / or Richie had a falling out with one another. It's been probably been happening at least once every two years for the past 30 years. Richie leaving the tour made it public this time but there were probably a dozen other times that no one knew about. And I bet it was much worse.

Jon and Richie are made for each other and only each other. Once they take a break and do their side projects, Bon Jovi will be back again with Richie.

The fact that Jon nominated Richie shows that these guys are still professional and more so, that Richie is still part of the band.

If Richie does the Ice thing or not means nothing at this point. His response in itself said it all. He could have said nothing back or said FU Jon, I'm not doing it.

I wouldn't read into anything further at this point.

Not mad but there is no reason why he hasn't done it yet. Don't say travel, that is no excuse.
