I didn't stop and neither did they

We saw Journey last night. And Heart. We were supposed to see Cheap Trick too, but someone decided that it made sense to put Nissan Pavilion in the middle of nowhere in Virginia at the end of 66, which has probably the worst traffic during rush hour known to man (or at least known to this girl, whose commute consists of walking downstairs).

Heart was great and Journey was great! Journey has a new album out and was very excited about showing off their new songs. Unfortunately, I think they were the only ones that were excited. They would play a classic, then a new song, and it was like watching musical chairs, where the good, old music made you run to your seat and new, bad music made you go get a hot dog.

The best thing about Journey's new album is the artwork. Behold!



I think the true Revelation is this, don't fix whats not broken. If flames and wings sold albums in the Seventies and Eighties, it will work again now. (Note- I have learned during this post that the Journey "logo" is a variation of this scarab beetle with bird wings, though I can't find a reason why. If anyone has the reason, or wants to make up a fake one, I would love to hear them. My guess is Journey is an ancient Egyptian band that used to play for the pharaohs, and were released in the mid seventies to rock again! Yeah, thats it!)

I had a revelation last night myself- Cheerwine slushies are delicious.
