Okay, Glenn.

He claims that “Crazy on You,” is “without a doubt the best Cold War-inspired song about oral sex ever.”

I never did try to parse the lyrics out on that particular piece, but I’ll take the good professor’s word for it. “Magic Man” and “Barracuda” have always been, however, crystal-clear to me.

I do believe Dreamboat Annie is the essential Heart album. As Hog Beatty once put it, “that CD is fantastic, from beginning to end.”

Though I also dig Ann Wilson’s version of “The Immigrant Song,” from her latest release.

I don’t understand Glenn’s giving up rock and roll; I’d sooner try to live without oxygen. FWIW, of course, I’ve been living without a law degree for years, and I doubt that lifestyle would suit Insty quite as much.

Then again, I could be wrong.

There are some pretty amazing sounds out there that don’t fit the old categories. I actually like the Trance and Ambient styles, although I have to limit my listening times as neither one makes a good long-term background track.

None of this is on broadcast radio as far as I know. Internet radio is the only place to really explore new sounds.

Rock and roll: rapidly approaching “Play me that old time music, like grandma and grandpa used to play”

I agree that it’s about sex. Can’t see that it’s about oral sex exclusively. I do know that it’s on Mushroom Records. And Ann stated that it was written under the influence of ‘shrooms. So like, wow! Anything’s possible. It might be about sex with a mike stand.

i dunno about the lyrics, but I just spent half an hour watching my husband learn to play Crazy on You on Guitar Hero II….
