So yeah, it's going to spark conversation. Welcome to a social media world. People bashed President Trump for 4 years calling him every name in the book, yet that was okay... Now you have a bent hard on because someone called out Richie...

We all know Richie isn't breaking any laws so clam down.

I think most people aren't disappointed with Richie's decisions in leaving Jon... But I think we had higher expectations with what he was going to do in the future.

I anticipated more of an Eric Clapton, George Harrison type of legendary artist, putting out some real classic bluesy music...

Instead, almost 10 years later, we got a clown and sloppy RSO garbage.

It’s just a picture of a young band with an older musician they admire, nothing about that should spark THIS kind of conversation, and especially not the way a few teenage girls are dressed.

JoviCrush has a valid point, but we must stop this discussion as well. Come on guys, let's move on with a little more optimism.

I (and I'm sure most people) had no idea that they were a band based on that pic and title alone.

And out of all bands to provide "inspiration for", it just happened to be the young hot all female band?

Like I stated prior, I'm sure it's all innocent but I still can't help to bust on the guy for his outfit alone... And him dressed like that with those young girls just adds to the comedy.

One click on the girl’s profile and you would’ve known and the hashtags under the picture already hint at it as well.

If an older musician providing inspiration for a young band automatically makes you think of sexual things just because the band members are young and female, then that sounds more like a you-problem.

Those girls are younger than Richie’s own daughter, one of them is only 15 years old from what I’ve gathered from their band profile, and you’re overanalyzing a perfectly innocent picture and situation and coming up with twisted interpretations based on no evidence whatsoever.

Don't lump me into that. I'm just making fun of Richie. But based on Richie's past, I'm sure one can look at a picture like that and make a quick assumption.

It's like looking at a picture of Charlie Sheen next to a bag of white powder and then realizing it's flower from a cooking show.

I'm ready to move on. But I can't help mention one more time that's he's wearing a Top Hat, Leppard Shirt, and Hip Hop Jeans.
