Story was reported in The Washington Post this AM.
Michaele Salahi: "Just a small town girl,
Living in a lonely world
Took the midnight train going anywhere..."

A publicist for the rock group has confirmed to TMZ.com that Michaele Salahi and the guitarist are "in Memphis together."

New euphemism?

Thanks to the sidebar at that site, I learned that Amanda Seyfried loves filming sex scenes.

Her website does seem to have gotten the message.

Michaele Salahi is believed to have been abducted. If you see her, please report immediatly to: missing@michaelesalahi.com and contact the authorities. She may be in danger, and unable to express herself to you truthfully.

5: She really does a good job of selling that DVD: "They had an extreme close-up of our tongues, and I'm telling you, the thing about the scene is that it's actually really sexy."

Could this be the greatest publicity stunt of all time? She gets to be in the media, and the end result will be at least one member of Journey in jail.

It's Andy Kaufmannesqe. Using Memphis is a subtle nod to his legacy.

Michaele Salahi seems quite the character. I see that she was going to be on Celebrity Rehab, until they determined that she didn't have an actual addiction. I'm thinking she ran off with the Journey guitarist, because he promised her a place on a show about rock star's girlfriends.

The answer to the question posed by the post title is: 'because Ross Valory is not yet a household name.'

I hadn't known until I looked up whether he's still in Journey that he'd been in the Steve Miller Band before Journey was formed.

Good to know that Journey was in concert with Foreigner in Nashville recently. Set the wayback machine on Stun. I bet Rush and Yes are jealous that they missed out.

I think Rush was just in Pittsburgh. I hope I'm just confused.

Jorney, Foreigner and Styx were touring the UK together this summer. On the US leg Styx has been replaced by Night Ranger.

Rush are probably a hotter ticket. They haven't used opening acts in 15 years, I believe.

Yes does not belong in the sentiments expressed in 14. Rush I have mixed feelings about.

16: Because I was curious bored, I checked allmusic.com. Over the past decade:

Styx - 1 album of new material (+ 4 live albums and 1 album of covers)

Foreigner - 1 album of new material (sold exclusively through Wal-Mart, a 3-disc set containing one disc of new material, one greatest hits remixes disc, and one live disc)

Rush - 2 albums of new material (+ 3 live albums)

Journey - 4 albums of new material

Omnipresence!

for Journey's concert with Foreigner

They should merge and tour the UK under the name Journey Foreigner.

Yes - 2 albums of new material (plus a remix album of earlier hits)

Has anybody ever seen Neil Schon and Van Morrison in the same room together? Because the photographic evidence suggests they're the same person.

24 -- I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone be more wrong on the internet. And I read RedState a couple of times in its early years.

I'd pay real money to see Neil Peart play live. The rest of Rush can be there, too, I guess.

I've seen Rush three times, bitches! Though recently I saw a blog post that quoted extensively from "The Trees", and now I hate them.
