In a riveting performance, Heart reclaims "Barracuda" for Democrats!!
Reporting live from Los Angeles, where about an hour ago the rock duo Heart performed live, in person, for a crowd of women gathered to support Barck Obama.........Heart performed three songs (please don't ask me to name the other two, lol), concluding with their giant 70s hit "Barracuda", which the McLoser campaign tried to steal and illegally profit from as a way of promoting their VP candidate, Sarah Failin'. The rally, sponsored by California List and held at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, was attended by hundreds of women (and men, and children) who erupted into screams, cheers, and applause when they realized the third and final piece was to be "Barracuda". Ann and Nancy Wilson can still belt it out, and haven't lost any of their magic over the years. This was truly a performance to behold.

"Here's a song we'd like to TAKE BACK......." - INDEED. And they did.

4. She still is. She can REALLY hit those notes!!!! And Ann (the redhead)
still plays a mean acoustic guitar (Nancy is great on electric). I was about 25 feet from the stage. They were at the very end of the rally and a lot of people had left, forgetting they were still to come. Patty LaBelle was at the very start and Jamia was in the middle. So there were only 3-400 of us at that point. Everybody had almost a front row place to stand.

They didn't mention McCain or Palin by name, but we all knew what they meant. They really stuck it to them!

9. I'm going to guess about the other two songs...
"Magic Man" and "Crazy On You"?

10. Nope. They first did "The Times They Are A'changin'" which Dylan wrote, I think.
The second one was a Heart classic, but once they started on "Barracuda" it got displaced from my brain, lol. If I had a list of all their stuff I might be able to pick it out.
