JOURNEY AS A WAY OF LIFE: STILL NO RAIN IN CALIFORNIA
MIYAKO HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO There are a lot of sumo wrestlers here. They're big, they're fat and they're Japanese. In Japan, I'm told, they have groupies. In America, they just look big, fat and Japanese. Here in the lobby of this hotel that has strange bathtubs, an old friend and I are having drinks, eating peanuts, watching the big fat sumo wrestlers out of the corners of our eyes.

Here in the lobby of this hotel that has strange bathtubs, an old friend and I are having drinks, eating peanuts, watching the big fat sumo wrestlers out of the corners of our eyes. They speak no English and walk around in robes. Won't real clothes fit them? We don't know. We drink and watch.
FANTASY STUDIOS, BERKELEY
There are a lot of industry people here. We are standing in a listening room and getting to know each other, most of us. Playing very loudly is Escape, the new album by Journey. There are two tables in this listening room. One is covered with food, one is covered by bottles. Many people here have Journey jackets on. People congregate by the tables, eating, drinking.
Steve Perry walks in. Look, there's Neal Schon — and isn't that Jonathan Cain sitting by himself over there?
