Not intended as a hatefest. I like Journey, listened to the DVD and thought it was an interesting topic. 65 posts in a day and a half? A lot of good points made positive and negative... I'd call that a worthy discussion... whatever.
Bottom line... Anyone can slam or praise anyone they choose to... if you don't like it, pound sand.
