Richie in New Jersey Drug Charity

Considering his age, he really doesn't look too bad. That was the point. And he's not washed up as in that he's still active as a musician and makes a ton of cash. Richie is making solo album that don't really sell, Hagar started a project that DID sell.

I apologise for not being up to scratch on the recent career of a guy I don't know from a band I don't like or follow.

You best be careful, we don't want German's to start being stereotyped as anal

To be fair, it was me who questioned the use of Hagar as an example, so I was anal too.

Anyway, I fully except your apology.

This was NYEve in HI - For their ages, they both seem to be doing ok.

Richie is just doing so much promotion lately and he's, like most in the entertainment world, saying what he thinks people want to hear or making the story fit the moment. Trouble is, in todays social media, instant share world - any one who pays attention can call BS in a min.

Richie does look good in this picture - but he doesn't look like that now! Maybe with a shave and a decent haircut he would look younger again.

Well, now that hair has been brought up....I know that Jon would look younger if he dyes his hair again but truthfully, his hair looks healthier than it has in many years. I miss the longer hair styling but he obviously likes his hair short.

Richie has dyed his hair also for years and now it has the texture of straw. The fact that he apparently likes the longer hair look adds to the mess. The thing is that in most photos Richie's eyes seem tired and his smile isn't authentic when he poses. I am sure that a candid of him genuinely having fun would make him look more youthful. Jon can pull off a fake smile better probably because of his very white (fake) chompers.

i liked the new song but i thought the begining was too similar to a springsteen song...i dont know which song though...

Who cares about the looks of either Richie or Jon?

Who cares if Richie is high out of his mind? He used to be all the time and nobody complained.

We should talk about the new song. I think it sucks, what about you?

I think the chorus has a nice melody, but it's the same old slow song over and over again. If we hadn't gotten it like 25 times before, I'd probably have liked it more.

Not something that would lure me out to buy an album But - it's an ITunes release with all the money going to charity and with the target audience, anti-drug theme I wouldn't expect it to jam out. I may download it just for the cause - for what it was intended - and as quickly as it was written - it's ok.
