Yeah, maybe you guys can help me out with something that's been bugging me for a while. Do any of you remember an interview with Jon, not too long after Richie left, where he said something like, "Richie didn't have a contract" or "there was no contract"? I think it may have been around the first time he said that "being in a rock band isn't a life sentence."
And in the April 10, 1995 edition of New York Magazine, I read this statement:
Quote:
Record executives love road-tripping with Bon Jovi, the friendliest band in the sky.
Only Jon Bon Jovi remains aloof from the bonhomie. The band's eponymous leader (except for Sambora,the other musicians are actually, technically, his employees) is an unmoved mover.

Has anybody here heard anything about a distinction like that before?
