Yeah, you're right. But there isn't the innocence or hunger anymore. Jon aint writing and just seemingly wants away from all things music for the foreseeable future. So maybe it isn't like 1990-91. No Jon solo album, no new years eve show in Toyko (!). The issues they suffered back then are similar to now in the fact that Jon has turned into Doc and burning everyone out. But what Richie did, as Rdkopper said, was very very serious. There wasn't the stubbornness and pure animosity back then.
