[@tussk.]

There's a band that I used to work with, can't name them for now because legal, who mis-read thier recent tour contract and throught that they had found a loophole that meant the manager had to pick up all of thier personal expenses. Two members of the band went out and spent an absolute fortune on spa days, 5 star meals etc, and basically blew the entire tour budget and almost all of the profits. The other band members are suing them for thier share, but the only way to generate that sort of cash is to go back on tour. While they're suing one another for the money they stole on the last one. I will keep you updated as and when I am able to.

Yeah wow, check out that guy's criminal history. He wasn't convicted of all the original charges after some were dropped, but it takes talent for most people to just receive a single charge for any of the offences he was accused of. But it's okay, he put God first instead of last so all is forgiven, lol. What an awesome scam when you're really down for committing a couple dozen heinous acts in just the span of a week. Does the defense work too if I call God "Jiminy Cricket?" Don't I really just need an imaginary friend with a conscience? But let this be a lesson; never put God first, first. Always wait until after your crime spree, and only then tell people about your imaginary friend that prevents you from committing (allegedly, but who are we kidding) various manners of assault among other criminal acts (allegedl...zzzzzz). The lesson jeebus taught us is to never go full religious nutjob until after your crime spree.

Yeah, Deen does not have an awesome past. When this incident occurred, I was working for someone who is a friend of Deen’s. I hadn’t heard so many “yeah, but” statements in my life. My personal Deeno experience was that he came into the bar where my band was playing, he was already hammered, and my bandmates couldn’t stop the set soon enough to get off stage and go shake his hand. I chose to go sit and take my break, and I have zero regrets. He’s always going to have the aura of “local boy got big” every time he shows his face in Salem and Keizer Oregon, and I’m just not drinking the Flavor-Aid.

[@jeremysmetana8583]

Longtime Journey fan here, just old enough to remember the '80s heyday. Jon Cain is a complete piece of shit who has ruined that part of my childhood. His connections to Trump and the evangelical scene are worth joining Team Schon all by themselves, and in fact the big rift between them started when Cain dragged Arnel to the Trump Whitehouse for a photo-op. Schon flipped his lid and the distrust has been obvious (and warranted), since. If it helps your opinion of Schon, my Uncle Dan and his pals used to jam with Neal when they were teenagers (my uncle played blues harp), as he was a very generous dude who spent a shit ton of time with unknowns all around the Bay Area. My dad and my uncle spoke highly of him. They didn't even seem to know he'd gotten famous. They just loved him from the "good old days." Sure, Neal's gotten weird and eccentric as he ages, but he's nowhere near the piece of shit Cain has become.

What I find hilarious is that Journey was just another corporate rock band in the 80's with Foriegner, Styx, REO and the likes, they were not at all this huge legend they are called now.

The drummer you're thinking of is Deen Castronovo. I used to work at the Guitar Center in Salem, Oregon around 2014-2016. He would come in pretty frequently. He seemed like a cool guy (who was also crazy) He let one of my coworkers (who was the main drum guy at the store) drive his Dodge Viper. It was around this time that he got arrested for smoking a bunch of meth and beating up his girlfriend or wife or something. (I guess he was not so cool guy) I think she ended up covering for him in court so he didn't have to do real time, but he got kicked out of Journey.
