I honestly think that Richie can't stand Jon anymore. I think Jon was always tough on Richie on a control standpoint (even on the 1992 KTF rehersal that was going on - ive been meaning to point that out) and I think Jon just got worse throughout the years.

They were like a married couple who are now separated. If they get back together, its for the children, us fans.

If you observe how they interacted in the 80s compared to the last ten years, it's evident that they are nothing more then business partners. I'd bet that Jon knows nothing about Aftermath and didn't even give it a proper listen.

And the sad thing is, the music takes the brunt of it all.
