St John has lost his way in this thread. He cannot spin his way out of this one.
Led Zeppelin, who I could do without, influenced so many bands, Journey being one of them. Then your boy, Chalfant, likened Journey to the "American Beatles."
For you to bring up drug use as one of the only reasons people like the Beatles is comical. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Who, The Stones, Styx, Foreigner, and yes, your beloved Journey, all have a drug presence. They all have fans who did/done/do drugs and the band members themselves have all participated in recreational drugs. I fucking hate Zeppelin, but you need to give them props....it was your blind moronic statement on Springsteen which makes you an idiot. Boring? Yeah, the greatest singer/songwriter of all time has boring music

Let's see...take Perry's lyrics and put them up against Bruce's and there is a huge difference in quality.
Dude, throw up the white flag now and take your assbeating, or continue on and get slaughtered
