Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain won't stop believin'...in Trump.



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/prosperity-gospel-pastors-husband-demands-loyalty-trump-lets-not-judge-things-says/

Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain credits his wife — prosperity gospel pastor Paula White — with leading a faith revival in Washington under President Donald Trump.

Cain, who cowrote the group’s anthemic 1981 hit “Don’t Stop Believin’,” explained his wife’s spiritual role to the president in an interview with The Tennessean.

The 68-year-old Cain admitted that Trump — a thrice-married reality TV star who’s being sued by a porn actress over a hush money payout and is under investigation for possible election law violations — was not perfect, but he urged fellow Christians to trust the president.

“That’s what makes me crazy,” he said. “Let’s not judge. Why are we the ones throwing the stones? This is our president and with his faults, with his mistakes, with the things he says, he is our president. We are to honor the authority of our leaders, we are to honor those leaders. They’ve been chosen by God.”

Not mellow. Lead vocals and keyboards from Greg Rolie. Rolie and Neal Schon were still relatively fresh out of Santana. This was a jam band, not a purveyor of radio-friendly "big ballads."

Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain weren't members yet.

They had a solid and loyal following, but not in terms of record sales.

It was their manager's idea to bring in Perry. He didn't ask them about it. He told them about it.

Rolie left after a couple of albums, Cain came in, that's when it became all about power ballads.
