Although I have no use for most of Heart's music, I really liked most of
their 70s debut "Dreamboat Annie", some of "Little Queen", and occasional
other songs in the years that followed. So I my curiousity was piqued when I
learned the Wilson sisters are big Beatles fans (i.e. Fans of the Beatles in
a big way, this was by no means a crack at Ann's size!), further piqued upon
seeing them in the televised Brian Wilson tribute a few years back, and
still further piqued by seeing an ad for them at the House of Blues in
Myrtle Beach last week - the ad announces an upcoming show of "Heart and
Lennon", and there in the group photo is Darian S from Wondermints and
Wilson fame!  So what is Heart doing these days?  Who is this Lennon - a
tribute show by Heart, an unrelated opening act of the name, Julian, or a
resurrection of Saint John from the dead?  And are Heart enjoyable to the
pop fan now, judging by Kerry's email below?

Nipper and I just caught Debbie playing keyboards and
singing with the one and only Heart the other week,
and she was incredible (I believe she's filling in for
Darian Sahanaja whilst he's off Brian Wilsonizing).
There was a segment of the show where all the 'boy'
band members left the stage, leaving only the girls:
Ann, Nancy and Deb. The three of them proceeded to
sing some absolutely mind-blowing 3-part harmonies on
several classic Heart songs. Unreal, spine-tingling
stuff.

Thanks to Deb, we got to hang out with the band after
the show, and we had a total blast. The current Heart
bassist, Mike Inez (Alice in Chains, Ozzy), was a
totally bitchin' dude -- he shared his bottle of Crown
Royal with me! Rockstars, you gotta love 'em.

Gotta score that Lisa Mychols disk....
