To be fair i believe if Jon was being so selfish tico and david wouldnt back him up like that..
having said that the fact that jon compares Richie to bobby/shanks/phil x shows lack of respect towards his contributions/impact and the whole bj legacy..
Jon has become the thing he feared most, the fat elvis...his passion is gone, his voice is shot... only if he realises this and leaves far away from his comfort zone maybe he ll deliver sth trully artistic
