The 25th anniversary of Slippery was in 2011.

I'll bet she probably meant the 25th of New Jersey in Sept. - had quite a bit of press, at least on the BJ side.

I find it highly doubtful that Jon is apathetic about the Richie situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that one day Richie could sit down and explain it to him, Tico, and Dave. I don't think any of them are apathetic at all.

I sent him some Bon Jovi songs I like and he never re-Tweeted those or any other Bon Jovi song. It was only solo music. It was like he didn't want to acknowledge having a hand in writing and performing some of the best music of the last 30 years.

Maybe Jon was apathetic, too, or is now. But Richie seemed to be uninterested in anything to do with the band a few months ago, to me. The fact he left out re-Tweeting Bon Jovi songs was very obvious. It was like he was saying the chapter is closed and he's starting over.

Richie prefers his solo stuff over Bon Jovi stuff. I think that much we know. I would suggest part of the reason he bailed was because he isn't as into the music as he used to be.

Yeah, its nice to know it wasn't hard "at all" for him to walk away. Dick.

Was looking at pictures of Jon arriving at Japan, there was a picture of him and Will Lee (bassist, right?) I'm thinking it was just an airport meetup, but first thought was "oh no, don't tell me Hugh's bailed!" :D
