Im not saying that he has not written songs like it or as good, e.g Dry County and Santa Fe, though he is at an age where his voice can no longer handle the old stuff when performed live, evident in the msg dvd, and these songs, especially the ones that are about love dont suit him anymore, because he is too old to properly relate to or understand a love song.
Hallelujah and the likes is where he is at now.
Reckon he could do it or even knows it himself? I bet he does!

Erm, you're missing the point. Ever since Jon discovered the piano ballad as in Levon from Elton John, Piano Man from Billy Joel and now this rendition of Hallelujah he's been trying to write a song just like that. Why else do you think we've had a Joey, a Wildflower and a Learn To Love? So no, he can't do it himself.
And even though Jon struggles with the old songs, he struggles with the new ones as well. The chorus of Have A Nice Day sounds just as bad as Keep The Faith does, and his vocals are badly mixed on the MSG DVD as well. He sounds better on the audience recordings of the same nights compared to the final mix on MSG.
Salaam Aleikum,
