"..Get THIS GUY to the World Series"

[NealIsGod]

Who gives a penguins crap? Boston is an afterthought now in regards to sports..Thank God.

Yep, Sox run is done, and the Pats are finally looking pretty mediocre. Time for new teams to step up.

[Eric]

The thing is.....if they had asked Journey they probably would do something...Perry won't do anything unfortunately

Steve Tyler sang the NA during the playoffs last year in Boston...not well...but Tyler is an ICON in the Boston area and people loved him!!!

Yeah, that would be great if everyone regards the Patriots as an afterthought... Three Super Bowls in four years isn't bad...

But they didn't....interesting. The song being played and the "star" who sings it being present was what they wanted it seems. To me it fits the bill of how special the occasion is. It isn't just the song but the guy who made that song famous also!

The band playing it live looses something......weird, but it does in this situation I think!

They probably don't even realize there's a difference between the band and the singer. But then, didn't Jon and Augeri go to a Chicago ball game last year and sing something? It might have been a Cubs game though, I don't remember.

You're right about it losing something if the band plays it. The recording they're remembering and wanting was done by Steve Perry, and it won't have the same impact in this situation if it's done by someone else. They might even feel it would bring them bad luck, you know, athletes are terribly superstitious.

And how would you know that? I even invited to take you and mysteriously, never received a reply.

The band playing this song live sounds a Helluva lot better than studio..trust me.

But sugar, this isn't even about any competition between the band and Perry. It's about what's best to keep the ChiSox rollin'. I know you don't like them, but they've locked onto Perry singing DSB and it has to be that or nothing to keep the mojo goin'. Someone else doing it might jinx them.

[Rockindeano]

Screw the palehose...I hope they get swept.

As for singing DSB..

Chewbacca could do it, and it would work for a baseball game.

Not if you're a baseball player. It all has to be "just so" to make the mojo work. I guess hockey players aren't superstitious.

That will get you bad karma!

Don't mess with my White Sox pal!!!!

No? During a tournament once, I wore the same underwear everyday for 10 days..Would NOT change them..However, after we won it, I almost had to burn them..Hell, they were so stiff, I could set a beer on them while they stood up in the corner of the room.

This falls under the category of TMI dude.

Going to try very hard to erase that image from my brain cells.

Sugar, Sadie was too kind, that's just f***in' gross. I guess you at least understand about the team mojo.

[Rockindeano]

Don't ever question heart in hockey players...

Sadie will get hers later tonight, meanwhile, may I suggest watching the future world champion, Houston Astros...

Not questioning the heart sugar, maybe the mind. (just kidding)
I'm watching it, somewhat, not that much interest though. I'd like to see Clemmons have one last hurrah, but not at the expense of the ChiSox.

[Rockindeano]

What is it with the White Sox? You are in a state 600 miles away? You have the O's, Phils, wtf?

Could you pick a worse team to pull for? yuk

Born and raised in the Omaha area. I didn't become a baseball fan until "The Big Red Machine" and I hadn't been one since, until Shoeless Joe's team got a chance to get his revenge. It's all about the history. I want to see that guy walk out of the cornfield smiling.

[Rockindeano]

Can you say, "Black Sox Scandal?"

[ohsherrie]

Can you say, "Black Sox Scandal?"

Yeah, but Joe tried to redeem himself, and I'm looking to these guys to do it for him.

[sadie65]

Can you say, "Black Sox Scandal?"

Living in the past. Such a sad thing to do.....

[Rockindeano]

Well, I guess we will have to agree to hate each each others baseball teams for the next two weeks....

[sadie65]

Don't know if Steve will sing DSB or not...but as an FYI

This morning's Sun--Times:

>>>October 20, 2005


In a pair of moves that warm manager Ozzie Guillen's heart, Hall of Fame shortstop Luis Aparicio -- a key member of the 1959 Go-Go White Sox -- will throw the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 of the World Series on Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field. Guillen's former Sox teammate Bo Jackson will do the honors before Game 2.

Among the musical talent lined up for the games, Josh Groban will sing the national anthem before Game 1, and Chicago-raised Lou Rawls will sing it before Game 2.

Chris De Luca<<<

[ohsherrie]

Josh Grobin is completely cool with me. When it comes to singing that particular song I can't think of anyone who could do it better except maybe Perry in his prime. I would rather see Steve do it, but Josh's voice is perfect for it. Last time I heard Low Rawls he wasn't sounding very good at all. He used to be awesome though.

The best live performance...to this point...that I've ever seen/heard was Whitney Houston, in her prime, obviously. She was sensational!!!!

[yak]

Classic Journey music is also being featured prominently on such popular teen-culling shows as "Laguna Beach" and "The O.C."
Total smut television, in my opinion, but that's neither here nor there.

I disagree that it's neither here nor there. Definitely is smut television, something the kids shouldn't be watching. But...the parents are watching...so..... It shows what trash some here call watchful television. Same goes for the movie Monster....a dark and disturbing lesbian movie that Perry had no trouble lending his name to, despite the years of refusing to lend Journey music to commercials (something lots of stars are now doing). Journey could have been at the forefront of that, but Perry blocked it.


Rah Rah! The Desperate Housewives wouldn't know a football from a baseball, but all of a sudden they've become baseball fans. As for Perry singing, the internet rumors fly again! It doesn't take much to get them started. He couldn't hit those high notes, so he won't come out, since he would die before, self admittedly, embarrassing himself (ala Tommy Lee). Plus, he'd have to get off the couch.

Doesn't matter to me; I'll be rooting for the Astros. It's just another pissy waste-of-space attempt to bring MelRock down to their level.

I am glad Journey music isn't in stinking Burger King commercials. We can all THANK Steve and the band for that.

As for Monster, it's just a movie. It was disturbing b/c it was based on a real killer, but it's still just a movie. The song was well placed in it.

[yak]

I wasn't referring to Burger King commercials. So we know where you frequent NIG. There are a million opportunities out there to be tapped, but Perry always acted like he was above it all. So he lends the song to a disgusting movie, and some smutty TV shows. Yeah, I know the song was played during the lesbian scene; I heard it was, but who cares? Sorry, but I disagree with you, and wasn't particularly thinking of Burger King or such greasy spoons when I made my statement. There's a lot of good advertising out there, where people can hear your music, without lowering your standards.

[ohsherrie]

I don't know anything about Laguna Beach, I've never watched it. I do know that what is and isn't smut in television programing is totally subjective. To me shit like Fear Factor, Survivor, and that inane Blind Date BS that used to be on, etc, are examples of smut. When it comes to advertising it's all exploitative unless it's for a reliable charity organization. I liked hearing AWYWI come on TV, it was fun at first, but I didn't like that it was being used as an advertising jingle.

[Rockindeano]

Huh oh.. Sherrie, I was on Blind Date the 3rd week it came out.. Too funny. Yes, I have the tape to prove it. It seemed like a good idea at the time.(didn't Perry say this once? Oh shit..
