IV

Hello, my endearing darlings.

We’ll continue with our trip along rock’n’roll avenue today as we take a trip back to the classical times. Ladies and Martians, drum roll please...for Rush! Yes, Rush!

A wise person who knows me well is aware that I’m pretty stoked about the existence of the song “Tom Sawyer”. It is my current ringtone because the song is bloody brilliant. I like the fierce aura it exudes and the lyrics are just so true. Formed in ’68, the band has undergone a series of makeovers in terms of band mates and sound type.

Current Band Mates

• Geddy Lee
• Alex Lifeson
• Neil Peart

The band has made a serious journey through the times and it is still alive and kicking. In fact, they are currently touring and will soon release a new album. There is nothing stopping these guys. We salute you!

Heart

Let’s give it up for some girl power! Heart is a band that was originally formed in 1967 in the US by two sisters, Ann and Nancy Wilson. They were able to find success much later. Well, I think we best know Heart for their hit song “Barracuda”. Powerful. I can’t think of anything else to describe it.

I’m all for women on top! Therefore I admire this band for making it through this male dominated genre. I mean come on, let’s face it! Every other rock band you hear about comprises of only males. We’re kind of used to that. Which is why I think the band has come far, especially from back in the day (even though I was not born yet), where it was especially hard for women to prove themselves.

Heart has had a number of hits recognised through out the world and beyond, and even by Ziggie. Remember “Magic Man” or “Even it Up”? (Here I am talking like I’m 60, lol). These women have basically conquered the rock scene, selling millions of copies of their albums. The sisters are still active, and because we are celebrating legends today, we shall give them a very long, heartfelt salute. A moment of silent please for these ‘goddesses of rock’! Thank you very much.

Toodles!
