Honestly, I think you'd try and convince us that blue is black. All this just because I said that i thought I rememebered Tico being called back to work for WAN demos (which judging by Jon's quote was the case), and you thought it was to help Jon with his solo album (there's been no quote anywhere confirming that Jon asked Tico to help with his solo stuff, in fact the only quotes we have confirm the exact oppostive, that it wasn't Tico on the solo tracks he did record...)

I know that Jon said he wanted to do a solo record, that quote you posted proved that, but he'd clearly changed his mind a year later when he asked Tico to come back to work.

The point you're arguing now isn't even what we were discussing!

As far as Richie being overworked, Jon said they were going to take time off after the tour, we know this for a fact! He also admited that he "lied" and started work straight away on new material. Tico was obviously not happy about this, he "needed a life", this we know from the above quote! Why is that so hard to believe that Richie was unhappy with Jon's change of heart too?

I'm done with this. You will always clearly only ever believe your own fantasies, no matter what proof you are offered.
Today was fun. A complete was of time, but fun!

Personally, I really wish Jon had gone forward with the solo record instead of WAN, I think we would have got some of his most insightful material for a long time...
