The thing is though, he HAS made efforts to protect his voice. He's had a doctor on tour with him. He goes through vocal warm ups and cool downs every night. He started using a professional vocal coach back in the 80's (Katie Agresta). I don't know why people think he's not doing anything. He did an incredibly stupid thing and started smoking, but in terms of rock star stupidity, that's rather on the mild side.

Maybe the issues he has with his voice can't be corrected with surgery. It might not be so cut and dry as that. Or it might be a case where if he had surgery he could lose the ability to sing at all--that's what happened to my great aunt. That's between him and his otolaryngologist.

He's been doing that for years now, whether he's writing or not.

My implication wasn't that it's just because he's writing--it's that he's got too many songs in his head to remember them all. It's not because he doesn't care. As he said nearly 20 years ago, when he was younger, he didn't understand how a songwriter could forget his own songs. When he was 35, he understood.

A bit longer and clearer clip from the Q&A.

I agree with you. I find it pretty sad and pathetic that so many people just come on here to slate Jon's vocals and some even claim they could do better.

The fact he even does these intimate shows and plays so many songs should be a cause of celebration. While Steve Tyler may have a voice that's aged better, he's lazy by comparison. Jon does produce a lot more music and play a lot more shows than most of his contemporaries.

It's not like he's Bob Dylan or Meat Loaf level. The guy can still sing well enough for most people to enjoy his performances.

When are the office chair critics going to accept the 1985 version of JBJ isn't going to be back?
