Post: "I tend to get very passionate about stuff I'm a fan of... lol...almost too much so. However, I've got a lot of artists & bands etc I like that are in the lukewarm category, then there are a few that are in the hot flamed passion category, Journey is now one of them hehe Thus when I get passionate about it, I tend to bring them up any occasion I get, even if it doesn't fit in with the conversation lol .... (always find a way..........) When I hear Journey's music, it really depends on what kind of mood I'm in, sometimes their music is so comforting it makes me cry like a baby lol .... Not in a bad way, the songs just kinda makes me feel good & makes me think about a lot of stuff...reflect on life or whatever comes to mind . Other times I crank it in my car (I just bought a new car and the only CD in there is Journey's Greatest hits...if my passengers complain they can walk....... )& when I crank it I sing & tap the wheel, dont care if I'm don't exactly sound like Steve (Guess that's a good thing actally) Journey just makes me feel good (and even though it was the concert that finally sent me over the edge as a FAN, their music always made me feel really good even before the concert.....)"

Post: "Most Journey fans didn't realize that Joe Reardon reunited Journey in 1995 after an eight year break up. First, Joe Reardon contacted Steve Perry and discussed the importance of Journey reforming, creating an album, and announcing a tour. Perry agreed with Reardon. The next step suggested by Reardon was for Perry to contact Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon to hear their ideas on Journey reuniting and in what direction that might be. Both Schon and Cain wanted Journey to get back together. In another conversation, Perry asked Joe Reardon to become Journey's new drummer; however, Reardon although flattered, stressed that Steve Smith was the only sensible choice for Journey. Perry agreed and aftewards Perry, Schon, Cain, and Smith visited Ross Valory and persuaded him to rejoin Journey as their bassist. Almost every rock and roll critic and Journey fan are not aware of Joe Reardon's behind-the-scenes discussions that contributed to Journey reuniting in 1995. Reardon should be thanked and praised for his part in reuniting Journey!"

Post: "A charity reception was held last night to benefit patients with neurologic diseases in the state of Arizona. Among items donated for the silent auction was an autographed copy of the original sheet music for "Faithfully." The generous proceeds from the sale of this item will assist in funding a summer camp for children with seizure disorders. Many thanks to Jonathan Cain for his kind support."
