Subject: Re: re: steve perry will always be journey


Hi: I just wanted to say that I agree with you 110% I just can't understand why Steve was not given the support he needed and deserved. I agree, the other band members sound like they are jealous, greedy, immature, player haters, merciless, etc. I wish there was a way to contact Steve Perry personally and let him read all of the forgoing responses on this message board. I certainly feel the love for him and I am sure he would too if he only knew how much everyone cares for him and misses him.
