Shameless Journey video break: Steve Perry surfaces at Giants game 5 NLCS

Steve Perry sightings are rare, you know. Since he effectively retired from performing after Journey's 1996 Trial By Fire album, you rarely hear from "The Voice" -- or see him for that matter. Those rare sightings for Perry loyalists usually means more fantasies of him coming out of retirement. Note to the die-hards: I don't see it happening. He (and his voice) can't live up to expectations of 1980s SP. Just hit repeat on your MP3s and treasure that. I do. It's nice to see him happy and exuberant cheering on his beloved S.F. Giants with the crowd. As far as the current iteration of Journey is concerned, the word is that a new album (with fantastic current lead singer Arnel Pineda) is going to be out in March 2011, with a world tour following. I'm a member of the Arnel Pineda fan site (he's a really nice guy); go ahead and laugh -- it's like being 16 again, except at least there are more people in the group that are my age than I expected. The only other fan group I belong to is for L&O: SVU, so that makes two obsessions other than politics; the diversion keeps me centered if a bit eccentric. But you already knew I was a bit out of the ordinary... So I'm putting the word out now -- anyone out there who has connections to get badass concert seats (and a backstage pass) for me, you now know how to make this blogmistress really happy. :) Related: * Blogmistress music overload: my Journey immersion weekend
