Let's wait for RDK who knows what the "true nature" of relationship between Jon and Richie is like and that we already know EVERYTHING so why beating a dead horse? Bitchin' about Jon's shot (?) voice sounds like a broken record, too because we don't know whether it's really shot (when it was strained and hoarse in the 80's its sound was completely diffrent) OR he developed some sort of non physical damage due to stress ("I couldn't sing in the shower" thing) and no surgery is necessary. See? It's all a BLUR so claiming there's no space for talking and speculating is bull... we don't know half the truth and it's normal for people to pursue it till they find it! Being a fan of Bon Jovi is a fascinating journey, we just have little patience with each other or maybe it's easier to stick up to your gut feeling and wait till everybody just catch up :3
