Journey keyboardist asks judge to resolve deadlock with band's lead guitarist

[SupportSanity]

The fight is keyboardist Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain vs band founder and lead guitarist Neal Schon.
It's about a company that they both co-own. The story is told mostly from Cain's point of view, and it looks like typical music business squabbling until the very last paragraph:

-snip most of the article until the last paragraph-

The two band members have been at odds for several years. In 2022, for example, Schon sent a cease-and-desist letter after Cain performed the 1981 hit "Don’t Stop Believin’” at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Schon said Cain, whose wife was a spiritual adviser to Trump, had no right to use the Journey brand for politics. Cain countered that Schon was the one damaging the band’s brand through his bullying tactics and reckless spending.

3. All I can say is HOLY CRAP!!!!!! Wow!!!!!

As soon as I saw Trump's name involved in this, I knew it had no where to go except downward.

I like Neal Schon as a guitarist. Highly respected.

I didn't know what all he had to deal with in the groups keyboardist and his wife.

"Holy Crap" is just the most PG that I can get on this board. My reaction is way beyond that.

Condolences to Neal.

Thanks for the info.

7. she's the most ruthless of these people in sucking money out of people

i've heard she schpiel, it's incredible, actually threatening people with terrible things if they don't pay outrageous amounts to her.

8. Families ripped apart, friendships ripped apart, now arena rock bands ripped apart.

Thanks, MAGA.

9. Gregg Rolie was the far superior keyboardist in Journey!

Last time I checked, they had hits before Cain joined the band. Not to mention that he was the first lead singer for Journey.

10. Everybody's Everything

I believe that:
Carlos found the song and got the rights to it
Greg is the lead singer on this song
Neal does the guitar solo

For many years I thought that Carlos did the guitar solo - loved it. Then I found out that Neal did the solo - much respect1

11. Far Better

Cain's playing is soulless & wholly lacking in interesting ideas.
He's a hack. His "cred" line was he studied the Hanon method.
Yeah, so did 10 million other kids learning piano. It was even more common than the Schirmer method I had until I switched to jazz.
The guy never played an original idea.
I could have played what he did with my right hand in my pocket.
Rollie played with passion & was a lightyear better at rhythm.
