2. I'll never understand the whole "Evil Jon wants to make pop records and stops Saint Richie from playing 85 minute solos at every turn." Richie has never expressed a problem with what the band puts out, he spouts off numbers and accolades just as much as Jon does, and every track on his recent solo album (for better worse) could have fit on any of the last 5 Bon Jovi albums. So no, I don't think if Richie returns it will lead to some kind of mutiny.

Exactly this. It's a myth made up in the minds of some fans that Richie is some kind of creative Jedi whose talent is being deliberately quashed. Folks, Jon's far, far too smart for that. If Richie was on top of his game Jon would be using it. But it's fair to say from everything we've seen from Richie over the last few years - he's not anywhere near at the top of his game. He seemed to be getting back into it at the start of this tour and then whatever this is happens - Richie Sambora is right now a total liability to Bon Jovi, and as we've seen from his solo tour with the cancelled shows, to the same people who profess he's the angel who can do no wrong.
