There may well be some legitimate reason at the end of all this that we may or may not ever find out. I doubt it's all one person's fault, whether that person be Richie, Jon, or whoever... Life isn't that black and white. But Richie's the one who walked off the tour. I've always thought some of the Backstage Jon lovers were over the top (and well, they are), but some of the blindly gushing Richie fans on various social networks are also questioning my previous understandings of the word sickening.

I'll always love Bon Jovi, I have a heart and dagger tattoo and no regrets, but it kind of saddens me how jaded and indifferent I've become.
