An Oxymoron: classic Journey

I read an article in Entertainment Weekly regarding the upcoming NBC reality series Tommy Lee Goes To College that the network's first choice for their concept of "let's send a rock star to college and see what happens" was former Journey frontman Steve Perry.

Who the hell would watch that?

I've softened on Journey over the years and even have their Greatest Hits cd, but my hatred of them in the past is well known among friends and fellow musicians. I've had an argument going with Mark Pounds of soulgravy for about 25 years now regarding the relative merits / lack of merits of Journey. He believes them to be the greatest band of all time.
