Watching a documentary on arguably one of the best vocalists of the last 30 years and the biggest topic for discussion is Ann's weight. If that's not a sign of American times (the fattest country in the world that still thinks it has the right to criticize fat people) I don't know what is. Pathetic.
What's a couple extra pounds when you've got the very best voice of an entire generation? These women are enormously gifted, and their music - a gift.
Genetics made Ann heavy. She always battled weight, self admittedly starved herself in the late 70's to keep it off, then gained steadily when she ate like a normal person. Was she chunky in 1985? Sure, but she was still beautiful, and it wasn't until 1990 that her weight really exploded. For roughly a decade a naturally obese Ann managed to keep looking good in an entertainment world where even a 2 lb gain causes the media to tear you a new one - not bad at all IMO.
@The Whaler fan The reason Ann's weight got so big in the 80's was all the wears she starved herself. When you hold yourself off eating and then start to take in food again (especially in the way that a 70's band would indulge) her weight quadrupled because the body wants to hold onto what it's been given, hence the weight gain.
Interesting to note...Ann was quite attractive and not at all fat in the 70's. She gotten fat after that for sure...but perhaps the break-up with Michael turned her into a porker. I studied this stuff in college. Low self-esteem or some crap like that.
So many of us love Heart. Saddens me to see people point fingers at band members as if to say, 'How dare you change my music?' Band members are human. Human failings and virtues change people. The music follows 'the heart.' Yes, I am partial to Heart's earlier stuff. I'm also partial to the Beatles' earlier stuff. Am I angry they didn't match my hopes for more of the same? That wouldn't be fair of me. And too bad DaVinci didn't have just one more Mona Lisa in him ;) Must've been another woman.
wtf, hes a pimp. dated a rock goddess, co-produced some of the greatest music ever made, toured the world with one of the greatest bands of all time... fisher = win
Don't you worry. It's not the time period in which we were born, but the people who are born in that time-period. All I'm saying is if you you want legendary music, you have to be the one to make it.
Rodger looking over at Nancy on Stage like Linsey Buckingham to Stevie Nicks as he would sing " you can go your own way" as Stevie was then dating drummer Mick Fleetwood like Nancy was datind Mike . 2 different bands but so much in common.
Totally a Fleetwood Mac situation going on.
