This weekend, I got tickets through work to a Cheap Trick, Heart & Journey concert. My work has thoroughly spoiled my by occasionally providing the tickets to a sporting event or a concert that are the best seats available & you are treated like loyalty. It provides you a peek into how the other side lives. I had tickets in the box for a concert. I was not even aware you could have 'box' seats at a concert. Nikki & I were in the 'party box,' under the pavilion where we had a table & a waiter to bring us everything we needed! We also has VIP parking and our own entrance. it was great!!
Anyway, I digress, b/c altho the night was great, & I was spoiled, that is not what I wanted to write about.
I wanted to write about Heart. They were awesome. The band was 3 women & 3 men, and it was clear from the very first note that this band was all about the women. Heart was popular in the 70s & 80s. The band has switched members fairly often with the 2 constant members being Ann & Nancy Wilson. Anyway, these women are in their 50s and they have as much energy on stage as anyone. Their sound is big and booming and I loved it. They have to be one of the first huge bands (21 songs in top 40) that was all about women. That is so empowering. They were not afraid to stand out and rise above.
This got me to think, what can I do to forge my path. what can i do that no woman or no one has done before. I know I will ever do anything as ground breaking as a women-lead rock band, but I would like to leave my own mark. The only task now is to figure out what that mark is............. All I know is that is has to be 'All about Heart'
