Bollocks to Anyway You Want It!

On this day in 1974 the very first issue of People magazine was published. This provides me with a somewhat lame segue to one of my pet obsessions: spreading the word that the first three albums by the group we all know as Journey did not suck! When former Santana keyboardist Gregg Rolie was a more dominant songwriting and singing presence in the band and before Steve Perry and Roy Thomas Baker's darkness descended on this band, they sounded absolutely nothing like that Wheel in the Sky hogwash. What critical masses of people find good, I'll never understand. Speaking of people, those that I don't understand and the magazine too, there's a song by that name by Journey (before they sucked) on their third LP, Next. Some suspect that the guys in Kansas listened to Journey's Look Into the Future LP more than once, especially this song. Anyone sense a whiff of Carry On My Wayward Son?
