Bummer. Always thought he was cool for some reason. Maybe it was his souls patch. Idk. Too bad he got canned cuz they thought he sucked at bass, or so I seem to have heard.

You beat me to the soul patch comment, Kixchix. Darn you!!!

I, too, had heard that he was booted. Not sure where. Oh wait, I will check. Behind the Music. But I guess all parties decided on the 'I was older and burnt out' thing as a bit of face-saving in later years. Cool to do that, though. Nice to be kind to those who were a part of your history.

RIP AJS. If I am reading the history correctly, you were the older dude who had a hand in getting the band together in the first place. That's a cool fact that no one can take away from you. And I will say that the notes from the Bon Jovi camp (see? I didn't use my usual slang here) were graceful and respectful. Classy move.

With kind thoughts to his family, friends, and fans.
