The rock band Journey has recorded some absolute classic tunes. Yet it seems one of the members opting to play one of those classic tunes has illuminated some divides within the band.

Which, in and of itself, isn’t a big deal. Bands often have some internal tension. Creative types are often…odd.

I say this as a creative type. I know.

Yet as I noted, Journey has some tension that’s actually reflective of broader issues we see throughout the nation.
