    37 Years Later, What Does Amy Mihaljevic’s Family Still Hope For?

    Some true-crime stories become cases people follow for years. Others become part of a family’s life forever. In this deeply personal conversation, Amy Mihaljevic’s father, Mark, and Ryan Ruiz talk about Amy before the headlines — the kid she was, the things she loved, and the memories that existed before October 27, 1989 changed everything. They also talk about what came after: decades of grief, the impact Amy’s disappearance had on her family, what those years have meant for her brother Jason, and the Bay Village community that has refused to let Amy’s name disappear. This isn’t about sensationalizing Amy’s murder or turning her story into another piece of true-crime entertainment. It’s about remembering Amy as a daughter, a sister, a friend and a child who had her entire life ahead of her. Mark also reflects on the emotional toll of 37 years without answers, the people who have helped him keep going, and the hope that one day the person responsible will finally be identified. After nearly four decades, the question remains: Will Amy’s family ever get the answers they have been waiting for? This is a conversation about Amy, the people who loved her, and why remembering her still matters.

    Ross Valory Finally Reveals What Journey Knew About “Don’t Stop Believin’”

    Ross Valory has spent decades being identified with Journey, but his solo music is a completely different animal. GET ROSS VALORY'S ALL OF THE ABOVE ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4bR530t In this interview, he gets into the weird, eclectic world behind All of the Above, why he never expected to build another music-business career, why the album took more than a decade to finish, and why he still has two more albums worth of material sitting in the vault. Then things get really interesting. Valory explains how City Lights was resurrected from decades-old recordings, why musicians were easier to find than time to record them, and how much obsessive detail went into the album. And when the conversation finally turns to Journey, he doesn’t dodge the obvious question: did they know “Don’t Stop Believin’” was going to become an immortal song? His answer might surprise you.

    Is This Overseas Rock Band Better Than Everything On US Radio?

    An underground European power house is putting out pure hard rock gold, but radio programmed drones in the States don’t even know they exist. Riffs so heavy they steal straight from classic metal giants, twin-guitar harmonies, and hooks so nasty they get stuck in your brain like gum in your hair. Are American rock fans completely out of their minds for sleeping on this, or is the hype totally fake?
