Besides looking like a brunette Kim Catrall and a young Melanie Griffith, dressing brilliantly, and looking all around like they should be my heroes, the women in this picture happen to be sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson of the band Heart. Sometimes I lie awake at night, wondering if I should have been a rock and roll star. Not at all a habitual video game player, I tried Guitar Hero recently at a friend's house. My meanderings were confirmed. Heart's galloping face-melter "Barracuda" jumped from the options list like a lean and toothy fish at my face. The Zepplinish single from their third album Little Queen is rumored to be a frustrated retort to a suggestion that the sisters' relationship was a bit more Sapphic in nature. (The ladies were also accused of being witches. How very retro.) Because of this, I like knowing that a Heart tune made it into Guitar Hero, particularly this song. It's refreshing to know that a generation of shy teenagers who dwell in the game's private and fantastic glory have no memory of the sexist inventions intended, thirty years ago, to drum up publicity. Instead, they accompany Ann's crystaly voice and feel justly insolent, which is something everyone deserves to feel once in a while.
