Journey Star Steve Perry Has A Beef With Sarah Silverman Over A Racist Slur Story
Steve Perry is NOT very happy with Sarah Silverman these days. Supposedly she thinks he is a racist.
Silverman refused to name names in her interview with Playboy magazine, but hinted that the “onetime lead singer of a very popular band from the 1980s” was Perry, joking, “I’ll just say this: After that, I stopped believin’,” which the rocker took as a reference to Journey hit Don’t Stop Believin’.
She claimed the mystery man approached her after a show and said, “You’re my favorite comedian – you have the best n**ger jokes.”
But Perry wasn’t laughing when he read the article, insisting he has never used the “n-word”.
He tells Rolling Stone magazine, “I’m really shocked. She was so friendly and so nice. I don’t understand why she would go there, it’s so bizarre. I don’t use that word, are you kidding? That’s so derogatory.
“I walked up to her after the show and I said, ‘I can’t believe that somehow you seem to be getting away with all these slurs and the n-word, I just can’t believe how you’re doing this,’ and I looked at my friend and I said, ‘I can’t believe how she’s getting away with this,’ and she looked at me and kind of smiled. It wasn’t like I was condemning her or condoning her.”
But Perry has no plans to boycott the outrageous comedienne’s shows: “You’ve gotta see her show because she uses every ethnic slur known to man that historically has been very unforgivable.”
I’m sorry, but everyone uses the n-word. It isn’t always used in a mean or racist way, but come on now… don’t say you would never say that, Perry. It is in tons of songs these days, as well as years and years ago. If you use the word in a malicious way, yes, you are a bigot asshole. But at the same time, comedians make racist jokes about every race. They don’t discriminate fool!
Either way, Sarah Silverman is freakin’ hilarious and I would kill to see her live. Who cares if Perry said that, as long as he isn’t actually racist, then what the hell does it matter?

[...] Journey Star Steve Perry Has A Beef With Sarah Silverman Over A Racist Slur Story (For Ladies By Ladies) [...]
Steve Perry has a reputation for being very careful what he says and never denegrates anyone. I’ve heard him even egged on by interviewers to say something deragatory about former band members and other artists and he absolutely refuses. He always has something positive to say about people.
Sarah Silverman is about a about as tasteless an entertainer as I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t pay good money to see her or listen to her trashy mouth. She’s one to talk.
However, I’m still waiting for Steve to come out retirement and let us hear that beautiful voice again!!
Anna- I agree with you about Perry. He is amazing, and yes, I wish he would make a comeback so we could hear that voice! Sarah Silverman isn’t for everyone… she is a female Tom Green, but worse. She is extremely offensive and out of control, but that is why I love her.
