A teacher asks the kids in her 3rd grade class, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Little Kevin says: "I wanna start out as a Marine pilot, then be a billionaire, go to the most expensive clubs, find me the finest whore, give her a Ferrari worth over a million bucks, an apartment in Copacabana, a mansion in Paris, a jet to travel throughout Europe, an Infinite Visa Card, and all the while banging her like a loose screen door in a hurricane."
The teacher, shocked, and not knowing what to do with this horrible response from little Kevin, decides not to acknowledge what he said and simply tries to continue with the lesson.
"And how about you, Sarah. What do you want?"
"I wanna be Kevin’s whore."

Let's turn this into one of those anti-jokes:
A teacher asks the kids in her 3rd grade class, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Little Kevin says: "I wanna start out as a Marine pilot, then be a billionaire, go to the most expensive clubs, find me the finest whore, give her a Ferrari worth over a million bucks, an apartment in Copacabana, a mansion in Paris, a jet to travel throughout Europe, an Infinite Visa Card, and all the while banging her like a loose screen door in a hurricane."
The teacher, shocked, scheduled a meeting with the school counselor, the principal and Kevin's parents. She also contacted human services just in case.

Now I know that Post Perry Journey (now that I know there was a Pre-Perry Journey) is kind of on the easy listening end of rock, this strikes me, "Perry's singing has garnered acclaim from prominent musical peers and publications. Queen guitarist Brian May said: "Perry is a truly luminous singer, in my opinion—a voice in a million."[23] Sony record executive, American Idol judge and musician Randy Jackson described Perry's as "the golden voice," and opined that, "Other than Robert Plant, there's no singer in rock that even came close to Steve Perry." "The power, the range, the tone—he created his own style. He mixed a little Motown, a little Everly Brothers, a little Zeppelin."[4] He has been described as "The Voice," a moniker originally coined by friend and former chart peer Jon Bon Jovi."
I mean, jeez.

Well, I don't know how we got from Kevin to Steve Perry, but he certainly was a great singer - stayed on key, very good range (very high tenor), good phrasing. I used to enjoying singing along with the Journey album I've got and noted how few of the higher notes I could hit.
Haven't heard much from him lately. I though I'd heard he had some problem with his voice that kept him from singing.
Whatever he's up to, I wish him the best.
I hope Kevin develops a better set of goals, despite the humor.
