The quote was that he's the Tom Cruise of the music business and the Elvis Costello of the movie business. Meaning he's done extremely popular music that doesn't get critical acclaim (think Top Gun) and done movies that are critically acclaimed but made no money. It's a good line, but kind of fall apart when you one realizes that Tom Cruise does get critical respect, and that Elvis Costello is pretty well known.

I thought amongst all the "never give ups" there was a "never let up." :rolleyes:

Jon came up with that variation :) See, he's a lyrical genius.

It was kinda hard to tell, given your recent and pretty hefty mood swings (regarding the band).

Yeah, um, I'm not into beating up on women.

Hey, maybe that's what happened to Richie. He beat up a chic. Let's start that rumor!

No, he doesn't belong here because he doesn't get sarcasm and can't have fun on this thread.

Finally someone understands what I meant. Jeez, some people take things said in this thread pretty seriously.. :)

Wow sorry this is so late into the thread :(

Hey new poster come back! Now I feel bad about it

He can have his bad days where he's grumpy and demanding but he's also kind and appreciates those that work for him. I know I want to kill my boss most days, so those that work for Jon/band are no different.

Professionally I'd rather work for a boss who demands excellence and who works as harder (or harder) than myself vs a boss who won't step up and be a boss, who wants to be liked by everyone, or who delegates all the work while s/he schmoozes with friends and family. Also, if I was about to give a presentation to thousands of people, I'd want everything to work perfectly and I'd want all my co-presenters to be on their marks and I'd want all my behind-the-scenes staff to be 100% supportive of what I was trying to do.

I got what you meant - I just didn't have time to jump into the deep end of this thread LOL. I guess if you are new here your comment would have sounded harsh - but I didn't read it that way. Probably been hanging around here too long LOL.

Yeah sure, someone get fired for three weeks and hired again.

A source still isn't said and the Radio host doesn't answer anymore.

Someone asked Matt.

The old it's just sarcasm excuse. Used everytime, a statement backfires.

Well, I could be rude and ask "Are you really that stupid?"

I wonder... will we ever see a moment like this again? :(

Bon Jovi - Any other day (Richie's solo) O2 arena...
