Stein... If this isn't the right spot, feel free to move to the correct section.
Many of us have heard that Rod Stewart wanted to record Coast to Coast but that Joey and/or the band declined to let the song go. I just saw a recent interview online that Kee did with someone around Christmas and he actually stated that is was Homeland, not Coast to Coast. I'm wondering if Kee got the songs mixed up or if it's been an Urban Legend all these years and we thought it was the wrong song?

In his autobiography, The Rock Star that God Forgot (2011), Kee stated that Rod Stewart wanted to record "Homeland", but Joey said no. While I have read somewhere online that Rod wanted to record "Coast to Coast", I personally think it's more likely that "Homeland" was the song.

Cool, thanks Stein... Kee's book hasn't come out in English I don't think, so I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

Homeland is my favorite song from that album, but kind bummed that Europe wanted to keep it even though it wasn't even chose as a single. It might have been a hit with Rod. I guess Europe didn't know what was imminently on the way in like five more months...
But then how could they? Musical trends don't end overnight. Except in 1992.
