Which is why bands like Journey and their genre of music don't do better these days. The musical taste of the masses has gone down the toilet. I can't believe the asbolute pure shit that becomes popular and sells. Fucking kids today!

I somehow knew someone would be along to post something like this. It's funny, when I was a kid my parents were always telling me to turn my music down. When my kids were growing up they were telling me to turn my music down also.

If they disqualify all the $1 charges made to iTunes by credit card thieves testing out a stolen card, I wonder how many that leaves?
