I apologize for it coming across bad I didn't mean it that way. Hey I'm a Richie fan too! |
You didn't come across as bad at all, I was joking with you, don't panic. I know BT usually works that way with Elton, I hadn't seen those quotes from Richie, so that's interesting to hear, thank you.
As for the opinion of it being a better song than recent Jovi tunes; The last time the band tried to write epic, storytelling tunes and got really excited about it, was Bounce and it seemed to blow up in their faces.
It is solely based on opinion but give me songs with this kind of care and craft any day over BWC or WAN.
