review 1: Very good book by two amazing rockers who had to struggle in a male-dominated world. Their story is intriguing and exciting. The book left me wanting more, especially about more of what into crafting their earlier songs (there were small explanations, but these are incredible songs and they are mostly tied back to their experiences). A very enjoyable, easy read for even a casual fan of these amazing sisters and incredible rock stars.
review 2: Folk music was always open for females with their acoustic guitars and mournful voices. Women were allowed to sing the Blues or dress up and croon songs of love and angst, but Rock music? Hardly ever. Especially those who played their own electric guitars. So I always admired Heart and still do air guitar, in the priva... morecy of my car, to my favorite: Crazy On You. But I never really paid attention to the actual women although when a fuss was made over Ann Wilson's weight in the past I felt pretty upset for her and all women who aren't allowed to gain weight or have gray hair and worst of all, wrinkle! What does that have to do with the gifts we give? Kicking and Dreaming filled in the blanks for me: a life of glamor? Well, they also struggled, like us other humans, with relationships, family, shyness, put-downs and addictions. Yet their creativity in writing words and music, performing, and bringing joy to many of us via their talent encourages us to reach for excellence in our own lives and so that sometimes over-used expression “Role Models” must be used by me about them. I recommend that you buy the Enhanced version because it includes an audio track of their new song and some short videos spanning their young life to recent times. less
