Jon has had a long 30+year career, he can ANYTHING HE WANTS TO DO NOW, and guess what, HE DOES NOT NEED YOUR APPROVAL OF ANYTHING. Now in fairness, maybe his last couple of albums may not have been the greatest in the world, but THIS IS NOT THE 80'S! OR 90'S! and I as a long time fan I accept that, Jon nor the band owe my ANYTHING! I am not going to demand them to make the kind of record I want to hear just to please me or fill me ego, which it seems many of you here tend to do, bitch and complain about not only his "lazy, uninspiring, lack of talent, has no voice, can't sing nor perform on stage no good talent" boy sometimes I wish Jon could see this website, the first thing he would say is "FU" he is NOT going to bow down to u guys just because u don't like his new music, and look I am not saying u have to like it, I mean there are some stuff of BJ recently I don't like either, but I am not going to totally disrespect the guy or the band neither, When he goes on the road, he goes with his full heart, even if everything is falling apart in his personal or professional life, he goes on like a trooper, and yet u guys still are not satisfied, especially the last tour, his long time guitar player just left him without any warning, he had personal issues with his daughter, health issues, esp. with his knees, goes on a stage with a knee brace and still performs as well as he could, and yet some of u hear, its not good enough. Can u guys here who constantly criticize him, belittle him, making him seem like he is a no good musician at all, at least respect Jon for at least doing what I just mentioned? He could have easily just cancelled the last tour, but HE DIDN'T he moved forward, FOR U GUYS!! but once again, for some of u here, its still not good enough. So I probably said ALOT here, but I have been this board for a while now and I am at a point where I feel that some "fans" here just want to belittle Jon. Now of course Jon is not perfect, he may have done some things that maybe we might question, but once again, ITS HIS DECISION, NOT YOURS! He can do what he wants to do with his career and life now because simply HE HAS EARNED IT! He toured and toured for many years in the 80's , back to back tours, even when he started his family, he toured, sacrificed many things from his children, not attending there school plays, football games, he still toured. I think now he is at a point in his life where he can do what he wants to do, and maybe that is probably one of the reasons why Richie left, he realized that he was getting older and just wanted to move on and do something different, which I can totally respect, maybe he could have just done it in a different way.
And one more thing, the whole thing of the Runaway Tours, u guys bitch and complain about how crazy expensive to go, well, yes, they are expensive, I could not afford it, but do u see me bitch and complain, no, if u can't afford it, then u can't, and for the ones who can, what is the big deal, why complain about it, why make it a big deal that they charge what they charge, just because he does it does not make him a "sell out" or anything, again, ITS HIS SHOW, ITS HIS LIFE, sounds like some of u hear who complain about are just jealous, just my opinion.
OK, enough of my soapbox, if I offended anyone here, I am sorry, but I just had to let this out of my chest, if u don't agree of what I said, that's fine, u don't have to, its just my personal observation of this board. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
