That's a pretty big assumption but you could be right... (Edit. I guess not)

I always thought Jon's story was a little fabricated about how he knocked on the DJ's door etc... Even back then it really didn't work that way... There might have been a little more freedom but I think (I know) his cousin Tony had way more involvement in Jon's career than he's willing to give him credit for... and I think he's the one who got him on that independent radio station record, he's the one who got him on that Star Wars Record (although it's a complete mockery, getting your name on anything Star Wars back in 1981 was great exposure), I think Tony gave him free studio time with session musicians (getting coffee and sweeping floors does not off-set that cost) and I think it's his cousin that got him that first record deal (it's those same session musicians that played on the album and all those songs were Power Station demos)...

It wasn't until Slippery, when Jon's career blew up, that his cousin Tony wanted some ridiculous amount of compensation. This is when Jon went ballistic and cut him out of his life forever... I think they settled in court and his cousin got a large sum of money... Furthermore, this is why Jon wrote off those first two albums (probably more so the first but the second falls into that same misery because he had zero control based on the record company demands & the quick time between them)... What Jon doesn't realize is, how brilliant those albums really are...
