Hitting the high notes

... I recieved the new book about Journey this week,before i even picked it up to read i thought i might need to chill out slighly,why? Well Steve never contributed to this book in anyway which gives everyone else who did the oppotunity to say not very nice things about him in general, & also to crow on again about how he can't sing the way he used to.How anyone knows this is strange to say the least considering to my knowledge he has'nt sung in public for years!Anyway where was i? Oh yep getting ready to chill,so armed with a strong black coffee,a packet of choccy biscuits & 'Infinity' on the record player,( i am still lucky enough to own a PROPER hi-fi where you can listen to records they were meant to be heard instead of being ponced around with & digitally inhanced).So i'm two tracks in when i start to think about Steve's voice &how exactly he managed to hit some of those notes.Now we all know the man can sing & when i say sing i mean live with no help from backing tracks or backing singers or tweaking of any kind.But i'm a woman & my mind works in mysterious ways. Could it possibly be his jeans?No not the ones he inherited from his parents but the ones he wore.How the hell he managed to get himself in them in the first place is nothing more than a mere miracle,but to be able to sit down/walk/run around on stage is incomprehensable.Now i'm sure at one point we've all owned a pair of these skin tight jeans back in the early 80's.But we're built slightly differently from guys.I can remember vividly laying on the floor of C&A's changing room trying on a pair of these jeans,doing them up was almost impossible,but when i eventually managed to achieve that it then took 2 shop assistants to help me stand up.Yes i did buy them.Now where was i? Oh yes,Steves skin tight/hug in allthe right places/Sherrie was a very lucky girl jeans.Lets take a look at these jeans & you might see why they have something to do with Steve hitting the high notes.

As you can clearly see if you're a bloke they were the most eyewatering item of clothing ever to be worn by Steve.If like me you're a woman they are extremely pleasing on the eye.Nevertheless were they something to do with the impossible notes Steve sang on such classics as 'Wheel in the sky'& 'Don't stop believin'? I guess its something we will never know unless Steve somehow lets slip in an interview that having his nether regions squashed to the point of being castrated helped him achieve mind blowing singing techniques.Now as 'Infinity' finishes & i've got that off my chest i'm going to embark on my book,depending on the things said depends on how quick i'm back,til then savour steve's sweet voice & think of those wonderful jeans!!
