He does not look to pleased to have his request not honored. I like to see him smile!

Jesus Steve, fill out a boxscore or something! Baseball games are boring enough when you're by yourself.

Vida Blue = Great pitcher, Bad Cocaine problem. Hopefully, his demons are behind him.

"Steve Perry (lead singer of Journey) was very nice to my family and signed autographs and seemed happy to chat, he just didn't want to take a picture with them, something about he had a year left, yada yada yada. Not sure what that was all about. But my co-worker and I sitting in the lower box seats on the right side of the field did get to see Vida Blue, you have to be BIG baseball fans to know who he is, but this is him..."

A year left? That doesn't even make sense, why would he say something like that to a complete stranger?

[bluejeangirl76]

What's wrong with this picture...

"In all the times that I have sat in those seats I have never gotten a chance to see a celebrity, but they did... Steve Perry. He didn't want his picture taken... So my sister-in-law snapped this from her seat about 10 seats away."

Maybe I'm the not mormal one here, but if a celeb says no, don't do it and don't sneak it and if you do, don't post it on the frickin' internet. I'm someone who is really not fond of having unauthorized pictures taken (well any pictures really, but esp. unapproved), I find this rude as all fuck. If I say no, I absolutely fucking mean no, and I would expect he does too.

agreed!

It is not like she got a great picture anyway. She should have just took the autographs and enjoyed the conversation, and respected his wishes. I am sure she walked away with a great memory of him, but I can also imagine his take on her. Not nice after he took the time to autograph things for her. I agree, don't post the pics, that is even worse.

Does that mean he's working on some hot stuff?

Someone should send this story into Howard Stern. I'm curious to hear his thoughts.

Insensitive jerks. Ask to take a picture and you're told no; and you still take the picture and then you put it on the Internet for everyone to see. As most people who yesterday discussed Mr. Perry being a jerk with Mr. Stern this would be a legitimate reason why he...1. is quickly moving out of the way of photographers who want to take a picture, 2. seems to insult young boys who ask him politely for his autograph 3. gives guys like Howard the most lame answers and the coldest shoulder a man could get along with a few insults 4. is labelled a jerk cause he is just not in the mood to have a camera in his face when he's just out there enjoying himself 5. just would like to live a normal life like you and me 6. gets tired of being asked for a photograh 7. wears sunglasses not to be protected from the sun but to be protected from looking into the eyes of jerks like this! 8. politely says no six or seven or eight times; then maybe it's time to check yourself and politely leave with camera still at your side in your hand or better yet still in your pocket.

[Saint John]

2. seems to insult young boys who ask him politely for his autograph

Still not a good excuse. Though I only know of one instance where he told a young kid "What the fuck do you want?!"

5. just would like to live a normal life like you and me

Really???? He wants to wake up for work everyday and potentially wonder if he'll have enough money to retire? I'll gladly trade a few pictures seekers in exchange for chucking my alarm clock and having a net worth right around 100 million dollars.

7. wears sunglasses not to be protected from the sun but to be protected from looking into the eyes of jerks like this!

I don't think I've seen him in sunglasses more than once or twice in the last 20 years!!!



Bottom line: Take all the pictures you want, folks.

Perry would look better if that hat were orange and BLUE and he were holding a sign that says "I love the ScarabGators" Photoshoppers????

First of all, I didn't take those pictures, so cool your tar, lol

secondly,, I don’t think he told them not to take pictures, just declined to take a picture "with them" - ie side by side ...

I agree, though, maybe they shouldn’t have posted them after what he said.. Even if they’re so small… and maybe I shouldn’t either,, so I'll remove them

I was excited (no, I’ll never learn) by the “only a year left” remark more than anything, anyway….

A year left? That doesn't even make sense, why would he say something like that to a complete stranger?

Well then, you're just not enough of a loon to read the tea leaves between the lines,, lol
that can only mean he's only a year away from a comeback,

lol, though I'm not sure we should hold our breathe,,, just cross our fingers and keep ‘believin’ in Santa Claus…

Hey! I'm new to this forum but have been lurking for a long time. Finally got the OK to post.

Anyhow, I am an unabashed SP loon, and found these pics earlier today at the blog of the person who's family took them. I was conflicted as to whether or not to post them, but then thought No, not this time.

My guess (and I mean, GUESS) is that SP meant he has another year paid for at the Giants games at those seats. Poor guy probably anticipates people who know he may be there in those seats coming by just to catch a glimpse and ask for pics and incessantly disturbing his pleasure at watching the game, etc. I mean, he obviously doesn't sequester himself like some celebs do (good for him!) but he doesn't enjoy having to deal with it all if he can avoid it. I mean, it's been years since he stopped recording too, hasn't it? Course I would be the first in line asking for a photo and autograph and...whatever he'd give me, sigh.....but from his perspective..... But then again, that's the price of being a frontman for a successful rock band, and that was his choice....

As long as it doesn't mean something about his health. I don't get why people get to where they feel the need to cut him down. I guess jelousy or some other silly reason. It is easy to judge him looking on the outside. Put that microscope on your life 24~7 and tell me how great it is. I would rather not be famous.

You're right, I'm not enough of a loon to get that out what was said.......from what I gather I'm a spoon, so I don't give a crap
about what someone not in the know has to say!!!

[Uno_up]

He looks no different (expressionwise) than any other Giant's fan this year.

But it is from someone in the know - the man himself... And it's just so clear!
He's getting ready,,,, getting in shape,,,
He has a goal of being in shape and ready in a year for his comeback, and he didn't want to take a picture with them before he was in peak condition....

What,, you didn't get all that????

No, ffs, you didn't take them... I don't see a reason for anyone to tar and feather you.
Yeah you posted what you found but, wtf... if you didn't someone else probably would have.

However... it DOES seem that he told them not to take pictures... you only posted part of it... the other part that you didn't post was "He didn't want his picture taken... So my sister-in-law snapped this from her seat about 10 seats away".

That was rude as hell of them. If that were me, and even if he DID say pictures were ok or willingly pose, I sure as fuck wouldn't post them on the internet. I've seen plenty of how every little thing about him in recent years gets shredded and made a major deal over, including and especially pictures. Hell no way would I let an awesome event for me be subjected to that shit.

Hmm. I might be a little more upset about this than necessary. But still.

Is that you two girls sluggin it out? LOL! I guess that was a loaded statement! Could mean many things. Could mean the family that reported this needs a hearing aid. Who knows? Guess we just wait and see.

Let the record show Neal and Jon have never had a problem taking pictures. Fan friendly.
