Nice interview on writing Don't Stop Believing. He says in a lot of ways the Giants saved him and also they got him back into music. He always says something has gotten him back into music, yet I never see any. Maybe this adulation will inspire him to finish his album. It was kind of sad when he said in many ways they saved him. Saved him how? He seems to maybe always have a melancholy side to him.

Seems more like HE stopped believing to me. He might want to listen to his own lyrics...

Maybe he is the type of person that needs something to be passionate about in order to feel fulfilled, so perhaps baseball did that for him. I hope too that all this excitement will finally wake up the musician in him and get him into the recording booth.

Nice lil' interview, thanks for posting.

Didnt he say the same thing when he did this whole deal with the white sox?
wish he would stop the double talk, say your retired end of story. It was great to see
him have so much fun both times, good for him, glad to see so many aprecciate how special
of a talent he was.

He has an incessant need to be some sort of sympathetic figure. It never ends. He did it in the BTM interview, he did it when he helped with the Houston DVD, and he's done it in almost every interview since. The guy is obviously not happy. Grow a pair, get your ass on a fucking stage and let it fly. I think, whether he wants to admit it or not, that he misses being in Journey terribly. But he seems content with playing the perpetual victim.

Exactly...quit talking about it and just DO IT for cripes sake!

He's a tortured artist.
His soul is on fire.
He'd cut off his ear tomorrow.
Just to end, yet prolong, the sorrow.

Passion lies to those that hear.
The love, the pain, the petty balance.
The pain goes on year after year.
But the limelight does endear.

They smile, and sing.
They tap, and dance.
All the while saying...
They still yearn for another chance.

The love lost, the love still there.
The vicarious passion, the soul afire.
What they want is yesterday.
What we get... is only, some day.

The parade was spectacular!!!
So many years of misguided hope...contention...disappointment...heartbreak...and, finally, this year with an underdog assembly of players...wow, who would have thunk it.
Hell, it's only a game, but what emotion it has been for us life-long Giant fans to hear testimonials from these past players, management, announcers... who got close a few times but never able to get it done...and now as happy as we are to finally see this day...a long wait, 52 years!

As for SP, well we did hear the same from him about baseball bringing him back to music, at the Chisox WS celebration back in '05, didn't we? I just think it best that we not expect too much from him.
