1. Good thing Journey is a

"Has been" band. They are as done as Styx, Boston, Foreigner, and Van Halen.

7. They were not paid by the Romney campaign

Rather by an outside group

"I believe Journey and also Zac Brown [also on Thursday] are described as nonpartisan but they aren't aware of any of the details themselves. To Journey, it's simple, one of hundreds of private [events] they get hired to do."

I would give them the benefit of the doubt.
It is rare that you get paid 500K for a single event.

I am a bit disappointed that they would, but they did mention that though they are playing they are not endorsing Romney.

I don't see this as a big thing. I like the group but this to me is not a strike against them, rather just another indication of crazy spending.
