But I also don’t see them as necessarily damaging to young psyches. Ultimately, I don’t think all those Barbies shaped my daughter’s worldview in any meaningful way. Barbies are hardly “feminist icons,” no matter how hard Mattel marketed President Barbie or Astrophysicist Barbie. I didn’t buy them Barbies just had a habit of walking in the door. “I just thought they were a little bit much – the body shape, then all the clothes.”My own daughter, now well into adulthood, had lots of Barbies: six, to be precise, recently discovered in varying degrees of disarray in a box in the basement. We were a Barbie-free household.“I didn’t really believe in Barbies,” she said. So, as I often do, I tested my memory in a call to Mom. I remember, as a kid in the 1960s, playing with Barbies at friends’ houses but not having Barbies of my own. “Barbie” the movie – reviewed here by the Monitor – is really an invitation to think about how we raise our children, and about expectations. It also invites introspection about our own childhoods. “That just ruined the song and the band for me,” one wrote, while another tweeted, “Goodbye Journey… you’re dead to me now.When I tell people a generation younger that I went to the “Barbie” movie, the response is often, “Why?!” To which I respond, “Why not?” What better way to escape the Washington heat – and politics – on a Sunday afternoon in July than with a live-action fantasy about an iconically kitschy, mass-produced doll? Plus, I wanted a good laugh.But I soon discovered there was more to the film than a frothy pink romp through Barbie Land (and beyond) and many jokes at the expense of poor Ken. The Mar-A-Lago performance was met with chagrin by many fans on social media. Well frankly, I’m tired of having to defend all by myself.” I’ve had to fight this whole time to protect the brand I built with Steve Perry, way before Gregg and I picked Cain to replace himself when he wanted to retire from the road back then. This is and has been an issue with myself, Mr. Schon said in 2020, “I’ve stated how I felt about mixing religion and politics and how our music is not of one religion - Democratic or Republican. However, since such airings are considered public performances, there is little an artist can tangibly do except publicly distance themselves from the association. Schon and Perry previously expressed their displeasure over Trump using the song during his campaign rallies over his earlier election campaigns, as have artists ranging from the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith to Tom Petty. Meanwhile, Cain’s lawyer says that Schon’s access to the corporate account needed to have a lid put on it after he allegedly put more than $1 million in “improper personal expenses” on the card. Indeed, the two squared off legally earlier in the fall, with Schon contending that he’s being denied access to the group’s American Express card and its records. “This just brings it all to the surface.” “The two haven’t been getting along for a while now,” says an inside source.

If anyone is destroying the Journey brand, it is Neal - and Neal alone.” I have watched him damage our brand for years and am a victim of both his - and his wife’s - bizarre behavior,” he wrote, referring to the guitarist’s wife, former “Real Housewives” star Michaele Salahi Schon. “Neal Schon should look in the mirror when he accuses me of causing harm to the Journey brand. In response, a rep for Cain initially said on Wednesday, “Schon is just frustrated that he keeps losing in court and is now falsely claiming the song has been used at political rallies,” but Cain himself went further on Thursday. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Kari Lake sang “Don’t Stop Believin’” along with Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain at a recent event with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
