Who's cryin' now: Journey drummer ordered to attend anger management classes

Journey drummer Deen Castronovo has been ordered to attend anger-management classes for a domestic violence dispute, according to the news reports today. Castronovo (second from the right in above photo) was arrested in January after a fight with his girlfriend, whom he had accused of cheating on him.

Now, as a policy I don't like to have much fun at the expense of an '80s hero (and Journey is obviously sacred to me). Plus, domestic violence is no joking matter ... And now that I've gotten that disclaimer out, I had to laugh at all the reader comments to the original news item. Here are my top 5 favorite responses from the public:

  • "Don't worry Deen, someday love will find you. Just don't hit her with the chains that bind you."
  • "Did he catch her loving, touching, and squeezing another?"
  • "What do you call a drummer that breaks up with his girlfriend? ... Homeless."
  • "I hope they welcome him there.....with open arms."
  • "Who's cryin' now?"
