It was a fantastic speech. Glad he's addressing Journey's legacy so frankly. A lot of people look at Journey as a guilty pleasure band and are given little respect, but the truth is they've probably outsold you, can probably outplay you, and they almost certainly outsing you. Pat was basically giving the naysayers a litany of reasons to fuck off. Good stuff.
'Nothing was bigger for Journey than 1981’s “Escape” album. “I have to attribute that to Jonathan coming in and joining the writing team,” Steve Perry (Feb 2012).'
