I'm finishing up my Nancy Wilson (above right) costume, getting ready to head out to meet my friend Katelyn (aka Ann Wilson , left), who will attempt to crimp our hair and then off into the night we'll go. I've gotta warm up my vocal chords, too, because god knows how many times we'll have to sing "Barracuda" to answer the question, "What is 'Heart'?" Have a safe and happy Halloween,...

Double Dagger was energy incarnate, set on fire. The bass cranked the noise in unison with the drums, pulsing through the crowd, with the lead singer jumping and screaming, leaping and crawling. The band had a punk sound that took no prisoners. The entire band of three were extremely active, playing with intense emotion. The lead singer wove in and out of the crowd singing his heart out. This’ll...

Word Soup is a fantastic and flavoursome event hosted by the fabulous Jenn Ashworth with prose and fiction writers keeping it real at the Continental, Preston.

Heart's book, due at the end of the year, will be based on the band's 1978 album Dog & Butterfly , and come with a cd that contains new versions of that song and the track "Dreamboat Annie."...

Good morning blog world. Just finished a nice egg sandwich on this Sunday morning in West Chester, PA. What are you guys doing? Look how foxy Ann Wilson from Heart looked back in 1976 singing Magic Man. I wonder if any girl ever dating me had a fight with her mom and yelled at her mom, "But he's a magic man momma!" And how great would it have been if when I saw the mom the next time I planted...

The operatic tradition has always had a place in rock and pop, but this band comes at it from the other direction. The operatic tradition has always had a place in rock and pop. Elvis Presley and the Platters' Tony Williams, Pat Benatar and Heart's Ann Wilson, metal's Ozzy Osbourne and pop-rock's Dennis De Young, and of course Freddie Mercury, are all singers who have adopted, at certain times and...

Maybe it's a little cheesy - but I really like the song, "Alone" by Heart. There's no denying, though, the power of Ann Wilson's voice. Along with her sister Nancy's harmonies ...

A few days ago, I delved into the awkwardness that occurred on the campaign trail when the McCain campaign's use of the song "Barracuda" ran afoul of that song's authors , Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart. One of the bands I namechecked in that article was Scarsdale NY's Too Much Joy, best known for their contributions to a lost art form called "college rock radio." Well, much to my...

Part of this week's election sideshow has been the emerging tiff between the rock band Heart and the McCain campaign . McCain has been playing their song "Barracuda" on the campaign trail in honor of Sarah Palin, and Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart don't like it, not one bit. "Sarah Palin's views and values in no way represent us as American women," they stated to Entertainment Weekly...

Last week , Heart members Nancy and Ann Wilson vigorously denied they had sold the McCain campaign the rights to their song, "Barracuda," which the campaign has been using at events as a homage to Sarah Palin's high-school basketball nickname, they say, and more generally to get across the idea that their campaign ROCKS. "We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote...

Right after the convention aging “rockers” (I never really considered Heart to be rock, but that’s just me) Nancy and Ann Wilson demanded that the McCain/Palin campaign stop using their song Barracuda which the Republicans had been using as a nod to Palin’s high school nickname. The McCain/Palin campaign has responded to the demand, essentially telling the Wilsons that they...
