Show Notes
Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain from one of America’s most popular rock bands Journey watched their bandmates guitarist Neal Schon and bassist Ross Valory go through caustic divorces. The palpable stress that affected the musicians became the inspiration for one of the band’s greatest hits. Separate Ways, Worlds Apart has become their signature rock song. It’s one of the toughest song for any singer to take on and Steve Perry knocks it out of the park. As perfect of a rock song as it is... It also has some baggage. It has one of the cheesiest music videos ever put to film. Even the band admits it. but this song just had major pop culture renaissance 40 years after its peak. on Stranger Things It’s all coming up NEXT including an interviews with band member Neal Schon on Professor of Rock.”
