I'm not sure Jon cares that much about radio anymore, as long as it charts and draws
some attention. And that's gonna happen anyway, by hook or by crook. But I agree with the rest of what you said. A solo effort would probably be more interesting; and he's great in storyteller mode. If he could put together a band with the keyboard player and backup singers that were with him earlier this month at the Tarrytown show I would definitely pay to see that. Especially if they would do small, intimate venues, at reasonable (not Runaway) prices. Those guys were freakin' amazing! And Jon sounded better and seemed to enjoy himself more, in that show, than he has in years!!
