His real beef seems to be less being misquoted as having said something he regrets, and is trying to claim that that's misquoting. Which is a little pathetic, to be honest.Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-47014976772452050412008-09-28T05:45:00.000+00:002008-09-28T05:45:00.000+00:00I totally understood what he meant. And it is true...I totally understood what he meant. And it is true that his statements where really taken out of context. For he has been repeating these same things on Philippine media interviews (both print and video). They always showed or printed the whole interview. He's always been saying, that how he became the frontman of Journey is both a blessing and a curse. A curse, since the whole country Philippines and Journey is now depending on him to do well. While the whole world looks on. And at the same time he's going to be away from his family and people he loves for a long time. A blessing, for obvious reasons from his humble beginnings. And that it is simply his dream job, that he is so happy about it. <BR/>This is what he keeps on saying and RS did really cut most of his interview with them, I guess. If you don't believe me, try searching for articles in Philippine magazines and newspapers on google. Or even search, his interviews on youtube. <BR/>Mostly some are spoken in tagalog, but it is clear about his saying a blessing and a curse. And by the way, Joy is right. Who doesn't miss loved ones when you are away for a long time.<BR/>TonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-62096705428465902292008-09-28T05:31:00.000+00:002008-09-28T05:31:00.000+00:00Er, Olive, he knows that.

If you have to be away from them for certain amount of time. <BR/>Joy from BostonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-35790509957647005172008-09-27T19:29:00.000+00:002008-09-27T19:29:00.000+00:00It's all buses, stage, microphone," he says.Er, Ar...<I>It's all buses, stage, microphone," he says.</I><BR/><BR/>Er, Arnel, you're singing in a band.
