This week, in Ontario, the government decided to put the brakes on their re-integration plan to have us return to normal because the pandemic has decided to return for a victory lap. They shut down public spaces and gathering places like bars and restaurants because despite being told not to act like selfish jackasses scoring hookers and turning their livers in alcohol-filled swimming pools on the last night before their wedding day, idiots be idioting. Couple that with people marching in parades demanding that they have the right to be jackasses and endangering the health of everyone else and it seems our dear leaders had no choice.

Very recently, I had the very extreme pleasure of watching Heart perform in Toronto. I’ve always been a Heart fan, I mean what warm blooded female rock music lover isn’t? I wanted the powerful pipes of Ann Wilson and the effortless beauty and guitar skills of her sister Nancy. I grew up loving songs like “Barracuda” and “Crazy on You”, and greatly admiring the women who created that music that helped to raise me. And soon, I’d discover an incarnation of that great band that would make me love them even more.

There are some songs out there that can infuse you with energy, happiness and excitement. Having a day where you just can’t muster the fucks to give about…well, anything? Currently in the throes of one of those days, I decided to turn to my newly acquired Rdio account, and peruse my growing collection of tracks and playlists for a song or seven to drag me out of the hum drum existence I’d found myself in.

What did drivers do before car radio was invented? There’s nothing more torturous to me than absolute silence while driving. I spend a lot of time in the car. My daily commute ranges from about thirty minutes each way (on a very very good day) to one to two hours each way (on very very VERY bad days). Accidents, the slightest hint of inclement weather, and events like sports games, Molson Amphitheatre concerts and disasters like the Hondy/Molson/whatever it’s called now Indy are catastrophic to my sanity in proportion to how much time they add to my already painful commute. Sometimes, the only thing that keeps me from screaming in frustration is singing.
