HAHA what a douche.

I don't know I've never put much credibility into what Glenn Osrin (the examiner) writes. Glenn and his family sat in front of me at the Ft Luaderdale show. He had great seats and should have considering they were courtesy of Matt Bongiovi.

Ah, so they're going to rotate the absences - Tico's going to bunk off the Europe leg.....:D

Ticco would possibly be a bigger miss than Richie.

I don't see how you've worked that one out.

That article was probably written by someone who got their info reading the conspiracy theories in this thread since they can't find anything in any legitimate forms.

I still think if Richie was healthy and everything was fine and dandy with his family, he would have been seen since he left for his "personal reasons." It's not as if Jon dictates whether he can leave his house. Or, hell, maybe he does. Let's add that to the conspiracy theories. :rolleyes:

If Jon had Richie under some legal gagging order that could explain lack of tweets - but he certainly couldn't keep Richie under house-arrest, and even then all Richie would need to say was "I'm not allowed to talk about it" and everyone would know there was indeed an underlying issue.

Simple, his energy and skill would be very hard to replace.

maybe Jon has him gagged and locked in a basement somewhere? Or maybe he had really bad tacos so hes still in the bog on the tour bus? hasnt tweeted because his battery died? that would explain the lack of communication and sightings?

That makes a lot of sense. So we're putting Richie's absence down to a bad case of the shits?
