Richie was even in a harness and lowered to the stage to make a grand entrance. Phil was there too. It was a nice dream though because everyone was happy and excited about Richie's return.

Positivity! Hallelujah!

Sometimes life gets in the way.
I'm sure you're blessed to not have had any issues that have kept you from doing what you'd LIKE to do.

Gave him a break last tour when he had to go to rehab. I was pissed Jon didn't postpone because his brother was ill. He gets no break this time. This isn't something he LIKES to do its his job. And when life gets in my way I still have to go to work. So Richie has gotten plenty of breaks, and I am over him now.

No in the LAST TWO TOURS...not like it was 1988 then 2013. If Richie wanted to he could simply hop a flight and buy a ticket on Groupon and show up. Not hard. Call Jon's bluff if it is a bluff.

My goodness do you sleep in King of Swing jammies or something???

Yes, a career in music is JUST like a day in the office.

Get real.

"Plenty of breaks" - yes, how many concerts has he ruined for you, personally? In THIRTY YEARS?

Doesn't sound like you're over him.
