Journey tries for "more stadium rock" with new "Eclipse"

I found this article about Journey....and I had to say something...maybe Neal Schon should just give it up...

My 15 year old loves Journey....and as much as she loves Journey, she has no desire to see them WITHOUT Steve Perry...and they are touring this summer with Foreigner - but, nah, she's gonna pass...and this is an 80's music teenager...loves it all....

Now I know, if you read the internet, watch any Journey music show on cable, they are say that Steve Perry left on his own - 

And Im ok with that - but, to me, he is the VOICE of Journey - the voice that sold millions of albums and made Journey the area rock band it WAS....

Not IS now...

They've gone through several singers and now they have a lead singer that sounds like Steve Perry, or so Ive read.....

Call me stubborn, but I have no desire to see this 'band'....

This is the band I want to see......

FANTASTIC CAT: THE HAMILTON, WASHINGTON, DC: AUGUST 14, 2024

  FANTASTIC CAT  They said it couldn’t be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated 2022 debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat. Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a wildly satisfying collection of folk-rock, country, Americana, and good old rock & roll" that offers “equal doses of Dylan and Springsteen,” the album earned the vocal-trading, instrument-swapping collective their national TV debut, sold-out headline dates around the US and Europe, festival performances everywhere from Sundance to Take Root, and a song in the Showtime series Tulsa King. In 2023, the unlikely four-piece teamed up with all-star producer Butch Walker for a 50th anniversary take on Wings’ “Band On The Run,” which prompted even more love from Rolling

“Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music”

So, this is my first post - Wait, I should say OUR first post -  Ive been wanting to start a music blog for a long time...not sure if anyone would actually want to read what I have to say due to the fact that I'm not a musician .... But I love music Ever since my first 45 when I was 5 years old (dont laugh, it was SAYING SOMETHING STUPID by Frank and Nancy Sinatra and I still have it), to my first concert in 1976 (The Beach Boys, dont hate) to my first club that I sneaked into (The Club Sunrise, St Mary's finest), to dating my first musician boy friend (a bass player) to the hundreds of concerts later, to my ever changing music tastes to my quest to find new music....
