Folks who read my rants know I'm a huge fan of Diane Duane's Young Wizards series, and I've long thought she was a secret Journey fan...mostly because of High Wizardry having a key scene hinge on Perry's "Running Alone" and a character in one of her Star Trek novels being named Steve Perry (no joke, though I forget which one...not much of an ST fan, here).

Now...goofing off...I found THIS great blog entry on Journey's resurgence: Whatever, Don't Stop Believin'


The great part? Scroll down the comments to July 28 2006, and there is Diane Duane, expressing a hope that ...dear gods... I pray comes true too:

-----------------------
(waves) Another Journey geek over here.

My great secret desire is that, when the YW series becomes a TV series or movie, Steve Perry will sing the theme song (Janis Ian's already professed interest in writing it).

(falls on knees and petitions a hopefully kindly universe to make this happen)
-----------------------


OK. Two-fold hope, there, that the Wizards series DOES come around and that Steve does do the theme song. That would so totally rock. and YES YES YES!!! Diane IS a Journey Fan!

That makes me very happy, for some reason, that one of my favorite authors loves one of my favorite bands.

The Young Wizards books will make it into film or TV long before that. Perry doing the theme song -- THAT'S the 6 months before we die part.

There are too many things in the universe working against those two things happening together, not the least of which is Perry himself.

I watched that video clip again recently from the White Sox world series win, where he was interviewed after the game and said he was "thinking about singing again." How many beers did he have to drink to let that slip out? He's such a tease! LOL)

LOL I read that part in her book! That was awesome.

And yes, it would be very cool indeed if the YW series was ever made into a TV show or a movie. Ooooh, movie...

I'm praying for TV series, actually. Movies -- well, they tend to be too abbreviated and too much under Hollywood control. With all the great fantasy/SF hitting TV at the moment (Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Heroes), YW has a better shot at a decent transition on the small screen (especially since Duane writes for TV, too).
