Really Good Interview with Jon on Radio 5 Live today
For people in the UK there is a great interview with Jon on 5 live today.
The interview covers a lot more than the usual stuff including family and what he went through when Richie left. Unfortunately he indicates he had a drink problem so Richie fans might want to avoid! Try this link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000nn5x |
Very nice interview!
Fun at some time... And about Richie, I felt that in this interview Jon talks more about "his... issues" in the past, unlike the other interview where it sounded more like he was talking about Richie in the present. Thing is that Richie said, very recently: "every thing is cool, give me a call, everything is alright! you know. And don't think I'm not doing well, because you know I'm very well." These guys are weird, this case is getting more and more like a Halloween murder mystery. -_- |

Really Good Interview with Jon on Radio 5 Live today
It’s more like a therapy session than an interview... Makes a change from the “so you’ve cut your hair do you miss long hair” questions...

But he must have missed the part about the home situation being the reason Richie left; because he still seems determined to convince people it was alcohol, without saying that point-blank. I guess he wants to leave some wiggle-room, in case Richie has to do another interview to remind him (again!) that drugs/alcohol had nothing to do with it. If he does, maybe it will also remind Jon that, in 2013, even he seemed to have no trouble saying, point-blank, that the issue wasn't alcohol. Of course, things change and memories blur. Like, in this interview, he said a lot about the luxury of having a strong wife to make sure everything stayed on track at home while he was away; and how it's appreciated because "if you have a war in your head and a war at home, you're gonna have a hard time winning it." So I guess he also forgot that, in 2016, he said that he led the charge in balancing family with the crazy touring, but neglected to mention Dorothea's role in making sure "the wheels didn't come off the bus" at home. He just attributed it to the fact that BJ weren't the journeymen they had once been; then added, "so that's (i.e., being home for Ava) really not a great excuse." :roll: |

But I listened to it again and you're right; theres nothing in the comments to indicate that it isn't the original, so Jon wouldn't have known about the Richie interview. The snark was out of line, and I apologize. Thanks for keeping me honest! :) The other points still stand, though. He didn't necessarily have to hear Richie's latest interview to know about any issues that may (or may not) have surrounded Ava in 2013, or to know that in 2013 he and Richie both denied alcohol was the reason, or to have said in 2016 that Ava wasn't really a good excuse simply because the tours weren't as long as they had been in the past. So as strange as the timing is, with this interview being posted days after Megyn calling him out and Richie's interview, I guess I'm still waiting to see if Jon will revise his statements. I'm actually kinda glad in a way; maybe next time he'll drop the alcohol reference altogether or, better yet, just stop bringing Richie into it at all, and move on. |
