The sad truth of this entire ordeal is that while many of us on this BB WON'T be going to any shows or supporting the band in purchasing any future CDs, there are a ton of people out there that will. Those are the casual Journey fan who someday decides that they will go to a show because they have never been before. So while many on this BB talk a good game that they won't support the band, and some won't, more will.
What there needs to be is an anti-Journey Street Team. The only way to hurt these fuckers is in the pocketbook. Maybe a grass roots program to hurt any sales is what is needed.
Furthermore, and I think this is REALLY funny, but, for all the bitching that Jon and Neal have done with regards to having to play the "dirty dozen", now they decide to go out and find someone who will emulate and sound more like the "dirty dozen" stuff.
Jeremey, if you are truly the chosen one, which your absence in participating on this BB seems to indicate, enjoy making a nice paycheck while you can. Think about the two before you that were fucked (especially JSS) royally by your new "partners." You too could just be the "flavour of the day."
