Juicy Tales From Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson
Sisters publishing memoir ‘Kicking and Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul and Rock & Roll’

After four decades and 30 million albums sold, Ann and Nancy Wilson have decided to tell their story. This week Kicking & Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul and Rock & Roll (HarperCollins) hits shelves. With co-author Charles Cross (Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain), the Wilson sisters dish on Heart’s formative years, the inspirations behind their hits and their personal travails, along with some sordid rock gossip. Here are some of the more notable – and curious – stories revealed:

[snip]

While Heart was on tour with Van Halen, Alex and Eddie, in their own fumbling, wasted way, suggested a four-way-of-sorts between them. The sisters declined, but later that night, when Nancy learned that Eddie didn’t own an acoustic guitar she was incredulous, and she gave him one of her own before sending him on his way. The next morning, after a night-long binge, he called her hotel room and serenaded her over the phone.

That’s it? These sound like the lamest of rock and roll stories. Jimmy Page passed out, Van Halen proposed a four-way, their A&R guy was involved in payola and there’s a topless picture of Ann Wilson in a safety deposit box (which could see the light of day if someone stops paying for the box). Sounds like a book only for fans.

And a comment from that page that sums up how I feel about it…

By the way, when was this?

FYI: The Dallas commercials are for the 1979 show. (2 different) The first one is incorrectly listed as 1978.


When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

Right you are, my mistake, wasn’t looking (or listening) very close when I posted that.

I believe this photo was taken at the Texas Jam by Heart guitarist Roger Fisher.
