Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with HEART!

In our political theme tonight, we're instantly reclaiming a song. Ann and Nancy Wilson told the McCain campaign to STOP using the song 'Barracuda' whenever his vice presidential choice, Caribou Barbie, was walking around the stage after a speech. We wholly support the Wilson sisters and mea culpa, Johnny has seen them 3 times. He adores them. So in the interests of good taste, and all that is cool, we officially take back Heart's song 'Barracuda' (We even used THEIR channel on Youtube to show this).


Lyrics:
So this aint the end -
I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun -
Kisses for real
And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
Youd have me down down down down on my knees
Now wouldnt you, barracuda?

Back over time we were all
Trying for free
You met the porpoise and me
No right no wrong, selling a song-
A name, whisper game.

If the real thing dont do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooh, barracuda?

Sell me sell you the porpoise said
Dive down deep down to save my head
You...i think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!

If the real thing dont do the trick
No, you better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda.

Ooooooohhhh.

Friday night Multimedia Extravaganza

Johnny has LOVED the band Heart since he was a wee shaver. He's seen them many times. Here is the seminal Heart lineup of Ann Wilson on vocals, Nancy Wilson on guitar (with the brilliant intro to Crazy on You called Dreamboat Annie), Roger Fisher on guitar, Howard Leese on keyboards and Steve Fossen on bass.

This show is from 1976. Nancy Wilson would have been 22 years old. Johnny doesn't know what you were doing at 22 but he sure wasn't in a rock band.

A word to the wise, if you really wanna piss off the management here, go on and on about Ann Wilson's weight. Who cares?


By the way, see if you can't spot Nancy Wilson in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
