Hmmm, so if radio station owners decide to nix Heart out of their play lists now, will they go all Dixie Chick on us?
Until a couple of years ago, Heart was always my favorite band, than I joined the Heart.com discussion boards...yikes! Made me look at the two sisters completely different. I still think Ann has the most beautiful voice ever, when she is singing that is, talking, no thanks.
By the way checked the message board, my account was still active even though I hadn’t been on in years (I am DreamboatAnnie)...the board is down for several days...hmmmm
You want to make Ann Wilson shut up and be thrilled too? Give her a gift certificate to the Cheese Cake Factory.
Why not use “Sarah” from Jefferson Starship? Grace Slick is a Republican and would likely be thrilled.
In an e-mail to Reuters, the band's former guitarist, Roger Fisher, said it was a win-win situation. Heart gets publicity and royalties, while the Republicans benefit from "the ingenious placement of a kick-ass song," Fisher said.
Exactly.
Perhaps John Rich can write the perfect “Raisin’ Sarah” song.
If you get what’s behind the meaning of the song, the baracuda is a bad guy who rips out people’s souls for their own selfish purposes. The song Barracuda was written by Ann Wilson of Heart after an incident with a fan after a concert. The fan accused her of having a lesbian affair with her sister, Nancy Wilson. This put her into such a rage that she went back to her hotel room and wrote the song. Barracuda is this fan.
The barracuda represents a cold blooded fish that is ferocious in its attacks. The porpous represents their feminine vulnerable creative work. When they sold the good porpoise (their creative efforts) they also risked selling their own souls to the attacks of the barracuda.
I have rewitten the song to give it more relevance:
Sarahcuda
So this aint the end -
I saw you again today
I had to turn my eyes away
Smiled like the sun -
Kisses for real
And tales - they never fail!
I’m Biden, so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
Youd have me down down down down on my knees
Now wouldnt you, Sarahcuda?
Back over time we were all
Living for free
You met the Obamassiah and me
No right no wrong, selling a song-
A name, whisper game.
If the fake things dont do the trick
We better make up something quick
Yo gonna burn burn burn burn us to the wick
Ooooooh, Sarahcuda?
Sell me sell you the Obamassiah said
Dive down deep down to save my neck
You...I think we got the blues too.
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!
If the fake thing dont do the trick
Ya, we better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn us to the wick
Ooooooohhhh, Sarah Sarahcuda.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.
For a band that hasn’t had a hit in 25 years, you think they would be grateful for any publicity.
Of course she gets royalty checks, too. Let's see, 3 hours times 600 radio stations times 5 days in a week = 9000 plays a week, since I do believe that they credit for each radio station individually.
Or you can alienate half of your fan base. Not a wise thing to do, but your call. If you feel soiled by the extra royalty money you can always donate it to some charity of your choice. And making a statement to that effect will give you cover with the left-wing wacko community.
Time to call up Nugent and get cat scratch fever on the playlist for the straight talk express.
Who? Heart?
Never heard of them.
