I have no problems with him. He's a great performer, he looks good onstage, and he worked well. Musically, it's not hard to replace him. But as a personality who brewed in the stew of four guys on the bus, he was my best friend. Somehow in the course of last year, he's gone from being my best friend to somebody who hates my guts because somehow I stopped him from realizing his potential as a singer/songwriter when all I've done is give him a salary to live off of for the last few years, and encouraged him to do it. I wish him all the best, but all I want to know is, "Why did you do it that way?"</blockquote>
