You will be surprised how much this story has spread. I've gotten article upon article, albeit all coming from the same source but it's out there. Just go to other message boards and it's being talked about. Their recent CD might suck to some people's opinion but we are talking about a 30 year career and Bon Jovi as a whole, not just this CD. Richie leaving the band (which I don't think he has) is big news. The band could be ending, it's news.
