Did _he_ even post it? It all seems disorganized.
Jon is certainly the one who has a more "enough bickering around" mindset, which gave us the whole What About Now fiasco. But without a JBJ character, Richie seems to dick around endlessly. Yeah, there's probably a record worth of songs at this point, but like others have said, he left 10 years ago. He released the RSO record, and that one was just a mess as well. Couldn't even find it on Spotify early on. Wouldn't have had a clue it exists if it wasn't for this board.
I seriously doubt that this is all just tactics.

This!
And furthermore to me Richie has lots of overestimation of his own capabilities. I have the impression he thinks the world is just waiting for him to release new music, his latest statement of "not being able to write bad songs anymore" is just embarassing. I used to be a big Richie fan right from the beginning. But since he left the band he started to make himself bigger than he is. At first I thought it was because of hurt feelings and to make himself look better than Jon at that time. But unfortunately he didn't stop with that behaviour so far. I already said that in another thread a couple of years ago: Richie has developed to the David Hasselhoff of music. Acting like his next big hit is just around the corner but at the same time couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery!
