The pay is good... Hope Deen can stay clean. He's got 5 or 6 years clean now, I think. Of course that doesn't mean anything with addiction. It can strike again any time. I hope it doesn't. Hearing him in the band again reminds me of how valuable he is. He is an asset.

Hearing him in the band again reminds me of how valuable he is. He is an asset. Agreed. I am glad to see that he has been able to stay clean and healthy for this long. He has said that he struggled for decades with drugs. Maybe this last time really changed him for good. As he and others have said over the years, however, life on the road is not easy and the temptations are strong. I hope he can keep a routine to keep himself clean this round.

Pretty sure only Neal and Jon are full (voting) band members. Not sure if Arnel is still just under contract, or they gave him a piece of JourneyCo (which I doubt). The rest... Randy, Narada, Deen, the keyboard dude... they're hired guns (contract)... Being a hired gun isn't a bad gig.... all one has to do is show up an play. No "band decisions" to make or vote on.
Deen prolly got a good deal since he can pretty much play the catalog now and sing Perry stuff too..
