I never considered heart a “glam” band, unless you consider later Fleetwood Mac a glam band. By later, I mean after they morphed from a British Blues Band into a mixed gender pop/rock band with more emphasis on the vocals.

I loved the original Fleetwood Mac, but also liked Nancy Wilson, Stevie Nicks and ESPECIALLY Christine McVie – she could play (and for all I know still can – I can’t remember the name of the tune she recorded with Steve Winwood, in the eighties I think, but it really rocked in my estimation.

Speaking of the military, does anyone know what happened to the guy in the rafters with the “McCain Votes Against Vets” poster?

“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.
Capital is only the fruit of labor,
and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed.
Labor is superior to capital,
and deserves much the higher consideration.” — Abraham Lincoln
