ETA: In this interview with PLAYBACK:stl Justin talks about C.B.’s decison to leave Blue October-

Tell me about the lineup switch.
C.B. [Hudson] wanted to be a family man. (I tried to do that once.) We still love him to pieces, he still loves us to pieces; it’s a healthy split.

    • Amy Says:

      It shows up as a like if you share the link on FB so I’m assuming that is why there are so many likes. I don’t think any of them actually like the fact that C.B. is leaving.

    Life moves fast, and is so short – do what makes you happy. You have made us (your fans) happy throughout the years, and NO ONE should deny themselves what they truly want or need in their lives…. It was an honor to meet you, buy you a jack and coke, and MANY times to hear you play with MY ALL-TIME, FOREVER FAVORITE band. I am VERY happy all is amicable with your leaving(at least I want to believe that – but we’re all human). All the best, much love, and God Bless!!
