"Hey guys just wanna say thanks and love for all your support.....can't say much right now accept that.... Thank you..."

It never ceases to amaze me that a professional writer makes the mistakes he does.

Richie and his teasing tweets. When the time comes that he can say more, will he? And yes the spelling errors are a tad annoying.

There's a certain cognitive dissonance that happens in my mind when I read the Tweets with the basic grammatical errors, and then consider that he wrote the beautiful song that is "The Answer".

It would seem Mr. Foster has a better grasp on English than Richie does.

If this whole episode has shown one thing, it's that Richie is not "the real genius of the band who wouldn't need Jon". Just as WAN showed how great BJ would be without Richie's songwriting input.

Bottom line: These two need each other, at least in a professional sense.

Now that I agree with. They compliment each other in different but very important ways.

I remember the whole PR mess for AMOTL, it was nuts until they got Nick Light (I think that's his name) involved - and I actually have to wonder if Richie had the same PR support as BJM does, could he have been more successful with his solo stuff? (from a volume reaching the masses POV)

In his defense, he is not a professional writer. He is a musician and a lyricist. Much like a poet, they have always taken liberty with language. I was an English major and when I had to write in academia, it was quite different from how I may write here for example. Plus, I am an atrocious speller, I lived with a dictionary prior to spell check.

Plus, if I get in a hurry, ain't no tellin whit I might right.
