Journey is Back and Still Rocking Hard

The 1980s rock band Journey is literally enjoying a renaissance with new touring and dates across the U.S. The return to popularity of the band is a story in its own, as the lead singer is not the original of Journey, Steve Perry, but instead new singer, Arnel Pineda. Journey's current singer is backed up by original band members Neal Schon on lead guitar and Ross Valory on bass, as well as Dean Castronovo on drums and Jonathan Cain on keyboards and rhythm guitar.

Jeter: Now You See Him, Now You Don't

The crowd starts their applause as the Yankees take the field. When the modern-day Yankee icon Derek Jeter appears after a nine month absence, they go wild! Screams of delight can be heard over the screeching of subway trains, the commonplace too high decibel level of police sirens and the sounds of the big city.

Derek Jeter is the ultimate present-day Yankee. He is New York City's all-around good guy. The city loves him and he loves them. His return to the game has Yankee fans grinning from ear to ear. His first at bat in the game against the Kansas City Royals yielded a hit and Yankee fans expected nothing less of him. The game proceeds and the fans are happy, Jeter is happy and the rest of the team is happy - until he gets hit in his quad muscle and succumbs to yet another injury. Before the nine innings are even finished, he is again out of the game, through no fault of his own.
