Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana both asked him to join their band. At an age where most kids are just discovering Rock ‘n’ Roll, Neal Schon was a prodigy being recruited by two Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famers at the same time. I’ve always maintained that there are two kinds of people in this world: Those who love, Journey, and those who are lying! They are America’s Band. That was my introduction to Neal Schon and Journey. The part I remember most was that gigantic guitar sound that to my tiny ears felt exactly like the Incredible Hulk picked me up by my windbreaker and threw me a thousand feet. It was an anthemic rock song that to my underdeveloped mind was about a train, street light people, (whoever they are), and to never stop believing. My story is no different than millions of other 80’s kids who heard the same song.
When I was six years old, I heard a song on FM radio while my mom drove me to school that shook the very foundation of my small soul. Story provided by Adam Reader, Professor of Rock as a special to Good4Utah.
