Saw Heart at Merriwether Post on the Bad Animals Tour - 5 row; and you could only sit there for a few songs before switching with a friend; that's how powerful the sound was. They were as good as they come.
Hey your Mom's knew how to rock and roll.......AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT. Rock n roll never dies and even when you get to be like 40 something (me) you can still appreciate some good head banging, guitar swinging, ROCK.
@magpief it actually is from a fans perspective. my mom wrote it back in the 80's, and sent them a fan letter with this song in it, asking if they would play it for them. and thats what they did. but my mom and her best friend (my aunt), they wrote it together, never wanted to take credit for the song, becuz they didn't actually think it would happen. and it did.
I always loved these two, not just because they are woman, but because they rock! I had the privilege to see them in the mid 80's and they were so good. I always admired Nancy because she can play as well as anybody, male-female -martian. She just rocks!
When a singer ages and retains their voice,or improves it with age its an amazing and inspirational feat.The Heart I saw last week was better than this!!!
Think its horrible that Ann WIlson ( heart) isnt in the Rock n Roll hall of fame!!!! If agreed thumbs up and lets start a petition to get heart in!!!!!!
These fine ladies have been my inspiration since I was very little! my mom was a big fan and I grew up on them. In fact I sing occasionally(it's been a few years since I did a demo, etc.)and Ann and Nancy are the primary reason I took it up! They are also from the Pacific Northwest like me!!! We ladies rock!I used to live in Seaside, OR and someone said that Ann and Nancy have a home in nearby Cannon Beach.Not sure but to protect their privacy don't respond if you know please.Keep rockin ladies!
No disrespect back but I know both of the women and have worked with them. So We may have to agreet to dissagree lol from the words of those amazing ladies thmeselves or you? who should I believe? I'm not going by what one line in teh song says I'm going by what I have been told by the band themselves. Thank you for your comment.
Sorry Courtney but it takes alot more than changing a name of a song to steal the song. I know Ann and Nancy and one thing I know about them is they have far too much dignity to steal a song. I'm in the biz and If it were your moms and aunts song and all heart did was change the name your mom would be so rich it would not even be funny. It is not as easy as changing name of a song. Ann wrote this song about nancy and Roger fisher was still with the band when this song was written. NIce try.
amala8u2, I dont mean any disrespect but this song Bebe Le Strange was about all the groupies (like myself) lol, mostly female fans that were writing Heart letters and telling them what an inspiration A&N were because they were one of the only female fronted Rock bands. That's why the lyrics say " Got to be you read my letters not your hired hand" The overzealous groupies were hoping the letters were getting read by Ann & Nancy and not just being read by an assistant.
No disrespect meant back but I know the band and have worked with them several times im sorry but i choose to belive teh people that answered my question that were actually involved in the writing the song. Thanks for your response as wrong as it may be. LOL let me know when you talk to the band themselves.
my mom and aunt wrote this song and mailed it to heart when they were teenagers and when they were upsessed with heart. but they changed the name of the song
I saw you fantastic ladies in concert 6 times,,,,you gals can ROCK the HOUSE babes!!!!!! I could FEEL your energy!!!!!!AND STILL ROCKIN' TO THIS DAY!!!! NEVER STOP,,,WE LOVE YOU, STILL~!!!!!!! YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRLS!!!!
OHHH YEAAHHH!!!!! They haven't lost their touch and I don't think they ever will!!! HEART ROCKS!!!!! "I don't know how to say it no better, I love YOU and the Band!!" {*-}
OMG lovesheart!!!! Thank you so much!! I was just searching on youtube for Bebe Le Strange and I found this!! I will be watching this one over and over. Ann sounded so good, I would have never known she had a cold here. Bebe has been one of my favorite songs lately. Its Ann at her flirtiest ;)
