jon's huge huge ego

"This is meant to be a stadium, turn-the-guitars-back-up record, and that's a testament to having Richie at my side. I can't tell you how much that's meant. With me and Richie, one and one makes three." (About "The Circle")

"When Richie and I sing well together, that's the magic: sometimes when I play without the band and I use side musicians it's always somebody trying to imitate Richie. When Richie and I sing together there is nothing like it; that is what the magic of it is."

"And playing alongside Southside and those other guys made me realise how much I took my band for granted. Especially Richie, who is such an under-rated guitarist. And it made me realise just how much his friendship couldn't be replicated by just anyone."


Just a few additional random quotes to put a little perspective in the delirium. Oh, and "Crush" was released in 2000, not 2001.

If I remember correctly, Jon advertised Slippery with "here's ten songs I wrote for you all" as well.

I've been getting stoned for a long time

Compared to others in Hollywood, Jon does not have a huge ego at all.

He's a rock star and a cocky / confident attitude comes with the job, along with self promotion. Try not to confuse the two.

Where is the 'I don't care button'?
Would be cooler to talk about music instead of talking about someone's ego or analyzing him in general. I think it is boring.

So: where is the new music? There might be some cool songs coming .
