- - No Richie on current leg of the tour (https://drycounty.com/jovitalk/showthread.php?t=55338)

I don't think the song was written in the last few weeks, or about this specific few months situation. That said, I think that Richie/his people knew exactly what they were doing, and how the lyrics would come off in light of everything going on, and calcined the release to that.

"Richie fits into the Dean role because he's been the comic relief, because he's been the voice of reason. He would always be that shoulder I could lean on. In partnership, in writing a song, as your pal, he's the guy who has your back. If anyone were to ever say anything, Richie would be the first one to jump into the fray and punch him in the nose."-JBJ

There's also this one:

"Richie doesn't call me Jon anymore, now he calls me Frank. And I call him Dean. I think we're starting to like this kinda rat pack, kinda casino thing. The broads...and the booze. It's all about the rat pack thing. That means that Tico...you get to be Sammy or Peter Lawford." --JBJ

Exactly.
Even if those lyrics weren't written recently, I think everyone is aware just how well they for this situation, hence why the song was "leaked".

Ashamed by the tone on here to admit that I read Matt's tweets. Actually had a brief interaction with him back in may when Nikki started her pics out tomorrow campaign. Matt started this out rather neutral, love him and miss him and my brother referring to RS, then he went through a jersey fu attitude, I think as much in response to the tweets he was getting as anything. The who missed, who showed up for work, defending sales then in an almost overnight he has returned to the we miss him agains.??? Take of it what you want. Cool song, compliment, clarification not new however. He's actually right.
Also saw somewere in the lets tear the lyrics of the song apart the comment that Richie said gave "Her", of course he would. If he said him this would be a whole new is Richie gay debate. Know that one ain't so. lol Please people, it is a song, Richie says he writes from the heart and it is sometimes on his sleeve, don't doubt some personal things in there, did think Frankie and Dean kinda obvious though.

Richie said the lyrics were timely. Ain't that proof enough?

What are you all discussing?

Actually he walked away from a lot of money as video director, took guts to say no to his big brother and I commend him. He his trying to increase distribution across the nation there's more involved than simply saying, "can I sell my sauce in your store" lol!!

Just now seeing this and recalled going to his website once and thinking he does business with other people, not just BJ. With this new venture he also has the perk of spending time with dad. :D
