actually, Jonathan is a very gifted performer and song writer, being degreed as such from a music conservatory. Chicago I think? not my style, however, but that doesn't diminish his level of talent. He brought Journey into the pop forum and I have never quite come on board with that. OPEN ARMS---uh, no. miles and miles away from Kohutek. I was hoping beyond hope that Jeff could take Journey back to where it belongs--rockin hard. That is no secret, I'm sure you all know that about me.

again, JMHO.

(Crazy) Dulce Lady - I hear this opinion over and over again - that Cain "brought Journey into the pop forum". But to this day I have still no idea what people are talking about when they say this....

Journey entered the pop forum in 1978-1980 too, didn't they? Lights, LTS, Anyway You Want It...all pop records...all miles and miles away from Kohutek...all with Rolie in the band.

And as for rocking hard.... most of the Escape and Frontiers albums rocks harder than anything the band had recorded previously. Sure, they each had one ballad - but only a casual fan with a only a GH album on the shelf would think that Open Arms and Faithfully truly represented what the band were doing in the early to mid 1980s.

God...I've typed these words so many times before...I'm even boring myself now...

Absolutely! I was listening to Departure, Infinity, and Evolution today. Wrong decade, but DAMN they rocked hard!

I'm getting a little misty now; I have to go. Back then I was just a wee tike to their full grown manliness. ROTFL! Why God, why?
