We're a gumbo of American music, and aren't ashamed to play pop or soul or rock because we all grew up on radio.
We're a staple in the American music culture. Like us or not, we're here to stay.
We've been changing our music over the years, mixing it up.
You can't make everybody happy. We just put our head down and went forward. We said, 'This music is bigger than all of us.' That's how we felt. We said, 'You know what? We'll prevail. We'll bet on these songs.'
There must be something in the heart of the music that speaks to different generations. We were never part of the c--k-rock, we were never a politically driven band, and we sing about universal things.
They're bombarded with all kinds of music, yet they chose to hum ours. That's the best nod you can get. The best testimonial to Journey is it appeals to the ages.
