Give John Rich a Little Privacy, Please
We know he got married. But that's about all we're ever gonna know about John Rich's private life. One that he is trying pretty hard to keep private. Even telling the media, "I've never really understood artists that sold their wedding pictures or they sell pictures of their kids. You gotta keep something for yourself, and my private life is my private life. Everything else the fans are completely welcome to, and I've let 'em in just about every corner of my life except that." I respect that. But what makes it difficult is that country stars, in general, are very accessible. Some even blog about their personal lives. So it's hard to remember whose lives are open books and whose are shut tight. But Rich said, "If you took everything that I've accumulated away from me, you'd still find me in a country bar somewhere, singing for tips with a guitar until 2 o'clock in the morning." So maybe any and all blogs about John Rich should be about just that: the passion for the music.

I agree on this account. I honestly don’t think the public has the right to know the exact details of somebody’s personal life.
CJ says:
I agree with you Melissa unless they put it out there themselves. I am not a fan of John Rich. He comes a cross very arrogant. Maybe he is different in person.
hotelmotel says:
It all seems so hypocritical. Announcing that he wants “privacy” seems like a way to get his name in the papers and the blogs, more than anything else, because he sure seems willing to forgo that privacy to get his name out, at a time when he has had a new CD to sell.
Gladys says:
John Rich is right. Leave the Stars alone.
Yall there are people that actually dig around to find info about these Stars and I am not talking about the press. I am talking about ordinary individuals.
I love hearing new info about my favorite country music star, but I am not about to invade their private lives to do it.
Susie says:
I totally agree with John wanting privacy in his private life and I respect that. There are many singers, actors, and actresses that keep very private lives while others want to share everything. It’s an individuals choice what they choose to share with the fans. As far as John being in the spotlight all the time, he has to do that. How else is he going to keep his name out there and his career going? All the celebs do this and JR is no different there. And as far as blogs go, they can be positive or negative. They’re created by supposed fans or by people who hate these celebs and sometimes the comments are really mean. Myself I feel if you have nothing good to say about someone, it’s best left unsaid. Thanks for listening and have a nice day!

what joke did he tell about his wife in vegas?
legal eagle says:
John should pass this good advice to little Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks. They have been shouting their relationship everywhere they go. Even read that the first lady, Laura Bush, was not impressed by thier over the top PDA at the White House! This realtionship is becoming annoying.
James Dills says:
John Rich, please keep your privates to yourself. I mean, keep your private life to yourself. I mean, write a song about a private in the army.

I don’t want to say it won’t last, but based on John’s very wild reputation the WHOLE time he was supposed to be dating his wife, I have to wonder.
He was private about Joan, yes, but he flaunted his bad behavior and seemed to be quite the womanizer. Not the behavior of a man in love, in my opinion, sorry.
Go boy says:
I find it funny he releases a song about his lost love a month after he got married. John heard the song is about a west virginia girl living in the harrisonburg va area. It seems a lot of your songs are about her. How does Joan feel about being second not the love of your life? I hve heard rumors you are still intouch with this girl. How does Joan feel about that? Besides every body knows you want your privacy so you can seek your mistress in and out of your house, is it the west virginia girl.
franni says:
Why the need to pry into Johns private life? Can’t he have a past like eeryone else? I know I still speak with a few of my exes–maybe he does the same. No harm in htat, is there? How would you like it if your private life was posted all over syberspace? Leave John and Joan be!
mae says:
It’s understandable if some people question John’s motives with this marriage. He has never been what people would call husband material. People are gonna wonder why he suddenly decided to get married when he was having so much fun as a bachelor. And if he still sees those other girls, people will assume the worst. His past is against him there. He wasn’t known for being particularly faithful while dating his wife. The speculation is gonna happen.
Go boy says:
Well I wish John and Joan the best. But I can’t believe he truly Loves her when he releases the song Another You right after they get married. Mae I agree John is not the husband type. But John was the ultimate bachelor freaky beautiful women, looks, money,and of course musical talent. Franni I disagree you can’t be friends with exes, but maybe your a player like John. John you are my hero really thank you for all the music.
