EDIT: Apparently he co-wrote Ain't No Cure For Love as well.

Good point. It looks like he has an association with some other heavy hitters that they aren't listed either.
ASCAP lists JBJ/Sambora/Supa for Neurotica, Ain't No Cure, and Too Much of a Good Thing.

I wouldn't say far-fetched, necessarily, but if there were three batches like you said earlier, it just makes more sense to me that the Supa songs came from Richie's stockpile.
Assuming you mean Billy Falcon, and that he's just an example, I see a couple of differences. First, Falcon is all over their catalog, kinda like Desmond used to be; while Supa's songs all seem to be related to Crush (which just happens to follow on the heels of Undiscovered Soul). Second, I think Richie bringing writers into sessions 'the same way Jon did' assumes a certain equity in their partnership that I once believed existed, but that I doubt more and more as time goes on (and Jon keeps talking.)
I believe it may have been more balanced at one time, but I'm beginning to think that, starting maybe as far back as KTF, there's been a world of shit that Jon does, that doesn't necessarily work both ways. JMO.
