very nice interview, kudos to the interiewer and to jon..

jon had previously said i still consider richie my friend i ll always do, so i guess he still is diassapointed about his departure and some days he sees the glass half full or half empty regarding if he still likes him as a person..

there were some small parts were some answers seemed insincere, for gods sake jon you ve been a fake blonde for 20 plus years and now you act like you dont give a shit? i know he is quite down to earth but we ll know his hair colour.

plus all that talk about there will never be another one who will sell this much etc sound poor in my ears...there will always be music products and bj were one in 80s for sure, i feel very lucky they survived and thrived but there will always be artists and musicians who will amaze you outhere.

the section about the insecurity of his voice i liked, it was honest, almost confident...

deep down i think jon realises that bj were always about songs and charisma/live chemistry, with richie gone bon jovi will be sth different to say the least,

anyway i truly believe there will be some gems in the new record, what i ve heard so far hasnt yet make me excited but i m sure it will have good moments.

nice to see jon settle and mature using less generic answers. and when he does i realise he does it now in order to avoid the stupid headline that would not do justice to the whole interview.
