Oh c'mon. Everyone knows Jon is the only one who can do that "cheeks slightly sucked in pout" and make it work. I'm beginning to think, like others, Richie is not using his own judgement anymore, he's listening to those around him. Here's hoping he doesn't turn into a caricature of himself. Maybe when/if he returns to the band, they'll kick his ass and he go back to his normal, rock guitarist, self.
