In response to "shauncreaney" who wrote me an email questioning where I got my info from here is my response:
I've seen it in a couple of different interviews with Ann Wilson and also Nancy Wilson on tv. The main one where I got quotes from about the origins of "Barracuda" and also about the way they were marketed, etc. was VH1's "Behind the Music" on Heart. The show on them is fantastic! And what is so great is it is the actual musicians themselves talking so you know it's not just gossip! Keep an eye out for it in reruns, it is a great show especially if you like Heart and their music. Also, if you check out the album "Dreamboat Annie" it has the picture of them where it looks like they have no tops on. Tabloids had this same pictured plastered on the cover with headlines like "Lesbian sisters..." or something to that effect. They showed one of those newspapers on the show. Nancy Wilson talks about how she was told that she had the good body and that Ann had the face and that's how they wanted to market them. I think they even had her painted gold, with big hair, etc. which she hated. It shows that on the show too.
I'm wondering shauncreaney, where did you get all that info about it being about a prostitute and her pimp, etc.? That's an amazing idea!
