Journey's internal legal battles have spilled into Trump territory as guitarist Neal Schon has filed a cease-and-desist against his bandmate Jonathan Cain to prevent the latter from performing “Don’t Stop Believin’” at Mar-a-Lago.
In an effort to prevent similar viral and embarrassing moments featuring Journey’s music from happening, Schon filed the cease-and-desist order against his fellow Journeyman, stating that the use of their music at a Trump event is of “harmful use” to their brand,“Although Mr. Cain is free to express his personal beliefs and associations, when he does that on behalf of Journey or for the band, such conduct is extremely deleterious to the Journey brand as it polarizes the band’s fans and outreach.
“Mr. Cain has no right to use Journey for politics. His politics should be his own personal business. He should not be capitalizing on Journey’s brand to promote his personal political or religious agenda to the detriment of the band.”of the letter, “Schon is just frustrated that he keeps losing in court and is now falsely claiming the song has been used at political rallies.”
That “frustration” in part stems from a litany of self-inflicted legal action Journey has filed between themselves and former members, including — most recently in October — that accused Cain of refusing to give him access to the group’s American Express card and its records.
