Facebook and Thank You

Hey everybody, nothing new to report on Steve but I want to thank everybody who have left their comments and messages in the comment area and thank you for sharing your stories. I really appreciate it, keep doing it, keep posting your words of encouragement or disappointment, who knows someday Steve might just drop by and read them.

On another note, I’ve just set up a personal Facebook page if you’d like to share your Perry stories or just be my friend, I promise I won’t poke you :-) Find me at http://facebook.com/Jasparina1. P.S. Someone had posted this animated Steve in the comment area the other day. Oh and the Boston Herald has an article about the ’80s rockers, asking if a reproduction is better than the real thing.

World Cup 2010

It’s Friday already here and the World Cup 2010 starts today! Woo!! Woo!! This is the time when families are divided, friends become foes and wives are neglected. For the next five weeks I will eat, live and breathe football, everything else will take a back seat, even Steve :-) so apologies for my MIA here next few weeks. Hope there’re lots of drama and controversies and stupid referee decisions, for what is World Cup without all that but no penalty shoot outs please, my heart can’t take it.

Good luck to host nation South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay and France in their opening matches later today. Good luck to team USA, you’re gonna need it :-), playing against England tomorrow, that’s a tough one. If you are team Argentina, follow my coverage at www.gabrielbatistuta.net or at twitter at @GBatistuta9. Good luck to all the teams and may the best team win. Now wave your flag

The success of Glee and the songs

An article on the success of Glee and the songs on the show with quotes from Steve.

Steve Perry was skeptical when the producers of a television pilot about a high school glee club sought permission to use his band’s signature song in their show; the former frontman for the classic rock group Journey is protective of his legacy. “I want to be able to put these songs somewhere with good conscience that they’re not going to be abused,” Perry said in a recent interview. “I don’t want to see that happen.” He needn’t have worried. Perry overcame his doubts, agreed to license the song to the producers of ” Glee,” and a year later “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” has reached a new generation of music fans.

Perry said he loves the “Glee” version of “Don’t Stop Believin.’” “They really worked hard to make it their own,” he said. What’s more, “it’s actually brought people’s attention to go check out the original. … It’s something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime.”
