Gáwa' hindi tumitigil tiwalâ*
I have eclectic musical tastes, but there's room in my heart for what my late friend Tom Cole called "ass rock" -- Kansas, Foreigner, Boston and the like.
I was heartened this afternoon to come across a concert video of a reconstituted Journey with their latest lead singer, Arnel Pineda.
Pineda had a strong career in his native Philippines, but YouTube helped him reach worldwide audiences. Videos of his band "performing cover songs by Journey, Survivor, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Air Supply, The Eagles, Kenny Loggins and other popular acts from the 70s, 80s and 90s" caught the attention of Journey's Neal Schon, who brought Pineda to Marin County for a 2-day audition last summer.
They're now on tour and are playing tomorrow night in Santiago, Chile with Peter Frampton and Earth, Wind & Fire. Should be an entertaining program.
