Also in the June issue, Steve Perry of San Diego defends himself against charges Sarah Silverman made in the April issue that Perry used a racial epithet while talking to Silverman backstage at one of Silverman’s shows. If you’re wondering if this is the same Steve Perry who once fronted Journey, you are correct. …

Thanks for sharing this.I would love to know what he has to say about it.I have never believed he said anything like that.

[tbear1256]

I'm with you on that one Babyblue.

Can't wait to read it

Peace.

TV : )

I would imagine it's pretty much the same thing he said to Rolling Stone. See previous thread.

[Saint John]

I think he said it and I'm ok with it. They were "nigger jokes" and that's what he called them. What is he supposed to call them? Something's fucked up about this whole thing, though. How can she tell "nigger jokes" but then be critical of someone saying "You have the best "nigger jokes!"? Makes no sense and she's a skanky hack that should be thrown into a wood chipper.

Will there be a picture?

We can hope for one.

She needs an exfoliation in hot oil!
I don't appreciate her royal skankness~

You nailed it. Spot on, Dan!
Whether it happened or not, it's amazing that with the amount of press that this has gotten, nobody had the stones to point this out. It would have been 'case closed, end of story.'

I've really seen no press on this at all, bar blogging sites and Playboy. No TMZ, big sites, magazines, nothing on Entertainment tonight or any of those shows.

None of the major networks/press covered it (it wasn't that big of a story, if a story at all), but it was spread across the internet on quite a few sites. EVen if they were blogs, it's still a source that many people use. It's the same reason why you, I and everyone else on this board visit Melodicrock...it's an online source. Do a Google search on Steve Perry Sarah Silverman...you'll see how much internet weight this goofy story held.

From Playboy:

Perry to Silverman: WTF?
I am shocked and disappointed
that Sarah Silverman claims in her
Playboy Interview (April) that I used
a racial epithet while talking with
her backstage about her show. Sarah
was very friendly and nice, so I don’t
understand why she would say or
imply such a thing. It’s bizarre. What
I said was “I can’t believe you somehow
seem to be getting away with
all these slurs. I just can’t understand
how you’re doing this.” Sarah
looked at me and kind of smiled. It
wasn’t as though I was condemning
or condoning her act. It was just that
she somehow made everybody—of
all backgrounds—in that club laugh.
In her show she uses racial and ethnic
slurs that have historically been
unforgivable. My background is
Portuguese, which is one of the few
ethnic groups she left out of her act.
But after she reads this letter maybe
she’ll come after us, too.

Thanks! for sharing this with all of here.

Ah, when all is said and done, Steve has nothing to worry about. Who buys Playboy to read the articles anyway?

Now see, I was going to try and find that scary photoshop of Steev's head on the body of some chick bikini model, but oh well.
[Also, loons, before you start getting all hot and bothered, no, that dude isn't steev, but another beak-nosed epic-haired male homo sapiens. *cross-eyes*]

well, was there anything more said by SP about this incident? Last night flipping channels I happened upon the Sundance channel, some weird thing by Sarah Silverman, with Jesus in the title...um, the few minutes I saw were really lame, singing about putting on a show...so bad and unfunny.

She's a hack. What drives me nuts is when people become celebrities they think they are so interesting that everything they say is gold. These are the idiots that say the stupidest things. They think they know all about politics and life. They can hardly control their own lives much less tell anyone else how to live theirs. I think Steve's recolection of the conversation has more clout than hers. She is known for saying stupid things.
