A very sad anniversary

Exercise: Errand running.

Well I had a big long post that I was going to write up about all the hoopla concerning Journey and people pitching a ridiculous fit over nothing but then I remembered what today is - the first anniversary of the London bombings. There's just something about events like that which just kind of put things like who's using a backing track or what defines a band as a cover into perspective. It doesn't matter folks.

A lot of the performers out there these days use backing tracks because if they don't, people think they are getting robbed when it comes to the show. They want album quality sound but also want to see the artist hopping all over the stage. I have yet to find anyone that can be that active while they're singing and not be winded. Did Steve Augeri fake a throat infection because of this whole tape issue? Maybe but I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Even if he did, so what? I've seen him perform live and he and the rest of the band put on one hell of a performance. I don't care what anyone says, the guy has some pipes.

Some people think that Journey is nothing but a cover band these days. Oh please. I find it really humorous since two of the five have been there since 1973 and another since 1980. Only the drummer and singer are the "newbies" and well the singer has a voice so close to the one that "made" the band, the average ear would have trouble distinguishing the two. Hell they even have a similar look and share the same first name. Cover band, I think not.

And now for something completely different.....

Please remember all those affected by the Tube bombings and have some more tea. ;)

Til next time....
