If AL didn't understand it, nor Rick why didn't they put up a fight for JC?? They were all still in the band at the time of JC's departure and yet you blame Rossi It was Rossi who wanted him gone. Read any of the biographies. Okay then it still begs the question why AL and RP just went along with it, if they had no part in the decision? If they had made a stand for JC, Rossi might have had to u turn.

If they had made a stand for JC, Rossi might have had to u turn. Its a fair point. Management maybe could have done more to. Perhaps and perhaps because Im speculating. They were trying to paper over deeper issues to keep the band together. But I dont know.

I got the impression TVQ meant that Francis, Rick and Alan weren't appreciative enough or understanding of John's unique contribution to the band's chemistry/success in terms of style, and NOT that Rick and Alan weren't understanding of the executive decision to oust him.
(Far too many negatives in that sentence)

At least Alan now in hindsight understands this to.
