The 1980's are calling... and they want their music back!
Okay.... Heart rocks!! Those two sisters are something else!! First you have Ann, who can sing the sh*t out of a song!! People talk about how she's gotten fat and at least she has a pretty face - who cares? The way that sister belts out "Crazy for You" - I could care less what she looks like!!
And sister Nancy - omigod, she's my idol!! The way that she can play the guitar is absolutely amazing!! I would want to be Nancy, but I'm way more Ann than Nancy, I'm sad to report. (Ed.'s note: This is probably as close to a girl crush that I will come.)
But what is most awesome about Nancy is what I have termed the "Heart Kick". She is dolled up in skin tight pants, high heel thigh high boots, and a mane of teased blonde hair. She is jamming on the guitar and then she just kicks up that leg without losing a beat!! It's awesome! It takes me a couple of shots of tequila to attempt that same move and frankly, it just doesn't look as good as when I do it. I remember doing it at a work holiday party and I haven't quite lived it down yet! (FYI: Heart Kicks are in the video above at 2:11, 2:21, 2:39, 2:52. Heart half-kicks are at 0:47, 2:29, and 3:16.)
I will see them again this July, along with Journey and Cheap Trick. So I'm laughing as I realize this...... and I review my last several concerts that I've attended in the past couple of years: INXS, Heart, The Police, Van Halen (coming up in a few weeks) and then this summer. Not to mention that I wanted to see Duran Duran and Bell Biv DeVoe when they were in town. When I go to the Ticketmaster site, I get more excited about the Doobie Brothers rather than the Jonas Brothers......
Too bad I can't fit into some parachute pants and Vans.... or maybe some Espirit?

Don't knock your version of the "Heart Kick". I have seen it (more than once, actually), and honey, it is absolutely divine!
