Jeez Louise!

I've loved this thread, but I have to say the past few days I've skim read pretty much everything. People are far too vicious about their own opinions when they have such little to go on to back them up.

Whether you're a Richie fan, a Jon fan, a Bon Jovi fan, or just a MUSIC fan...surely the best thing isn't for "Richie to come back" or "more Richie solo records" - it's whatever everyone feels happy doing.

Crikey, we've had 30 years of semi-regular albums. How lucky are we for that?
Most bands don't last a year these days.

I don't care whether the next album is a band record or a solo record - I just want whoever does it to be passionate about it and proud of the result.
Why be so selfish to "demand" something when you are ultimately only the consumer?

And please please please can we transform this from a playground into an adult chat forum again?
