<title>Heart - Kicking and Dreaming</title>
<description> Hi,

Just finished reading Heart's new book Kicking and Dreaming. Great book that tells not only the story of the band and the Wilson sisters, with their greatest and lowest moments both personally and as a band, but also another view about rock history in the last 40 years. Totally recommended. By the way, they tell things pretty crystal clear... drugs, alcohol, bad relationships, weight issues, family problems, etc... so, not just a PR book for selling records.

Regards,

But there are two camps of Heart fans. The first came that was there at the beginning usually always prefers the early material. Both have their strong suits,for me anyway. but the 80's Heart was vERY commercially driven. And of course this went right along with the times. bUt it's also the reason I can't listen to some of that style of music anymore. It's very dated (especially the keys) AND tries SO very hard to be commercial--very forced most times. It's like--here are some more top hits for you...safe and pre-packaged. The older stuff had it's commercial flare here &amp; there,too. But not so obvious as in the 80's. Both versions are miles above the current bilge of theirs,sadly. T]]></description>

First concert I saw was in the old Garden State Arts Center with Giants. The second was in the Meadowlands Arena with Cheap Trick. What a pair of opening acts...and the girls were just fantastic.<br />We don't see quality like this anymore]]></description>

I have the first Heart s/t some of which is OK and a DVD of Dreamboat Annie live recorded 2007 which while interesting mostly doesn't do it for me... but I would like to read the book. BTW I have the Pat Benatar autobiog and I enjoyed that. She comes across as very genuine and very cool.]]></description>
