There's nothing to prove. He's done and dusted. He was the greatest frontman in the world for about 2 years at the end of the 80s and maybe for another year in the middle of the 90s. No one can ever touch that. He can't touch it himself. And I'd rather he stopped all together with the music than having to listen to his embarrassing little pub band gigs he does with the KOS. Music is not his priority any more and I totally respect it (and against what I said before, it does NOT make me sick). However, what does make me feel uneasy is the fact that we were sold an album and a tour as part of a creative and expressive artistic process - when it was just a big 'cash-in' exercise. Jon must think 'Look at those ****ers! They fell for it!'. Again, I say this with all sympathy.
Well, as someone who knows him told me, I don't think he will ever be done with music. But the last tour was primarily about making money and responsibilities. I had fun at the concerts with some good moments but there was nothing new and creative there. Just empty words. That is what business people do + selling himself for fan club events with foto opts. And there are still plenty of women who fall for it and some dudes romanticising the concerts. And Jon knows that. He even got grumpy about that 'magic'-aspect in an interview. Well, he doesn't have to. It is no longer there so no worries.
