Well considering Jack Blades had nothing to do with Mojo, I have a hard time swallowing the "We" part. Jack was busy with other projects, specifically Damn Yankees, and from my standpoint, it didn't look like NR had much future in them considering that fact. But then Brad and Kelly reinvented it and gave us a super album. In my humble opinion, I think they SHOULD have used a different name, but they didn't. I guess they were banking on it bringing a few more people out...is it really any different than Jimi Jamison using the name Survivor? Or Teri Nunn using the name Berlin? Not all the original members sure, but two out of three ain't bad.

And I can't see how the Mojo project HURT NR at all? People didn't like it, they didn't buy it and vice versa. If anything, it kept the NR name alive while Jack was off playing with Ted and Tommy. He might not have had as much to come back to otherwise. And when he did come back, boy, what a difference from the NR we came to know and love. Lots of people liked it. Me? Much rather hear "Seven Wishes" or "Man in Motion" anyday over "Seven." They should've just called it Jack Blades' Night Ranger. Or maybe Night Ranger featuring Jack Blades. LOL!

And sure, I know I'm gonna get flack on this but I'm used to that from the NR discussion list!! LMAO!
