I didn't have a chance to read it in full yet but it seems to cover a lot of territory.

That was a good and thorough interview. He had a lot of good and respectful things to say about Augeri and ensuring he received the credit he deserves. There were no real details about the various lawsuits and settlement...I suppose that should be expected.

Ross has always unequivocally denied the lip syncing accusation. Honestly, I think it's in bad taste for the Rolling Stone interviewer to even bring it up at this point. What's the point?

Cool to see questions about The Storm and Kevin C.

That's not what I was referring to. Without going back to reread this, it seems the interviewer went on to talk about Arnel but Ross went back to Augeri and gave him credit for what he did with Journey first and Arnel built upon that foundation (my word). I just thought it was nice that Ross wanted to ensure Augeri's time was respected in that way.

Yes, it was nice to see questions about The Storm...and he had good things to say about Chalfant and especially Gregg.

Pretty classy interview. Had good things to say about everyone, and seemed genuinely grateful for the opportunities he had over the years. Even when talking about negative things like getting fired, he presented it in a positive light.

Looking forward to the album release.
