You've gotta be kiddin' me... http://www.drycounty.com/jovitalk/im...s/icon_eek.gif I've seen pictures of her mom around lately, but I had no idea she was all over Richie as well. Wow. Just wow... Why doesn't that woman just marry him and divorce his ass in two years? Jeez! It would save a lot of time and energy all around and the music wouldn't suffer too much from it...

But some things changed. I don´t know if it has anything to do with legal settlements but Richie suddenly is in heavy self-promotion where between April -June there was none.

At the time one of the many theories on this board was that the lack of carrying for his contest, music, etc. was because of legal reasons. Now he is doing all those things and I wonder what changed that.

It is crazy-ass weird stuff that he would randomly ask for that.

Maybe he wasn't legally allowed to do it while the tour was going on. He didn't start tweeting his solo stuff until after the last show in New Jersey when the band went on a tour break.

The tour is still going on and as you said they just have a break. In my head that would suggest that he indeed would come back for the rest of the tour when he suddenly is "allowed" to do all his solo projects.
Unless it´s a way to hush him up to not say anything before they announce the split after the tour is over.

That does seem like an odd thing to ask for. Wonder how long his walk down memory lane will last?

If there are no passive-aggressive jabs or ulterior motives in what he chooses to Tweet or re-Tweet -- (humor me for a minute)--then you could look at it purely as a 'lovefest' of sorts between Richie and his fans. It /did/ start off only because Richie saw that 'Sambora Saturday' hashtag floating around and commented on it, and fans began to Tweet him stuff every day.

But since he didn't Tweet (as far as I know) /any/ Jovi stuff, it does make you wonder...

And for what it's worth, my friend who says she's in the know claims that we're reading far too deeply into Richie Tweeting about the SNL video. She said it was just a coincidence and nothing more.

Feel free to either believe that or take it with a giant grain of salt Lol. I truly have no idea what to think anymore; I'm just watching it play out.

Does your friend, who is allegedly in the know, think it's still possible that Richie will return?

Yes, he's never tweeted any Bon Jovi stuff since April 2. He only commented on someone else's tweet to him (YouTube of "Mr. Sambo") praising Tico and Hugh, recently retweeted "Never Say Goodbye" sung by himself (the person said it was "better than the original") and now this.

The odd thing about this is that 1) it's not a song, 2) it's not a retweet, but he actually ASKED for it, 3) apparently he couldn't remember any of the stuff he's been retweeting, but he "remembers" an SNL skit, and 4) it has Jon in it (and no, by any means I'm not fueling the feud thing, I'm just saying he's never addressed Jon on Twitter at least since Sambogate officially started, not even indirectly, so this is another "first").
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not reading anything into it. There's really not much to read (the "second chance" thing would be really stretching it, in my opinion), but yeah, those things I've mentioned just make the whole thing a little weird, that's all. Just one more weird thing to add to the evergrowing list. LOL

The only things I saw him retweet about anything band related were videos of him singing Bad Medicine an Never Say Goodbye, both of which the original poster noted how his version was better than the band version.
