blackhawkpat Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Wow, and Rodney Dangerfield claims HE gets “no respect”. I was just channel surfing and happened to see Ann Wilson from Heart singing along with Kelly Clarkson on the Kelly Clarkson show the ballad “Almost Paradise”. They did a really great version of it, but once they began talking, Kelly said Ann wrote the song and Ann didn’t bother to correct her! I mean, wouldn’t you say something like, “actually I didn’t write that it was written by a great songwriter named Eric Carmen” ????? Come on, Ann……. You are better than that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 With the new curfew in Chicago for young people, I´m glad I left. If I was still there the cops would be stopping me constantly (because of my fountain of youth appearance). And worse, the female cops would be ginning a bribe from me in order to not be taken to jail, the bribe being (as usual) a little amor from James.: ( P.S. what was the question? : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Ha! I just sent NBC a letter letting them know about Kelly's mistake and requesting the error be corrected- on air! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 What a bummer to hear this! Ann was probably eating a ham samich and couldn't talk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Still looking for the clip where Kelly credits Ann with writing the tune, but here's their performance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 1 hour ago, Raspbernie said: Still looking for the clip where Kelly credits Ann with writing the tune, but here's their performance: It was immediately after the performance of the song. They had a woman In the crowd come up to a microphone and tell them that she met her husband because of the song and Kelly said something to the effect of “Not only did Ann write this song, but because of her these two got together” (paraphrasing). Wilson was looking down and kind of looked up when she said that but never said a word. I rewound the DVR twice to make sure I wasn’t hearing things. I don’t blame Kelly, because I’m sure one of her staff incorrectly told her who wrote the song, but very disappointed in Ann, as I’ve always been a fan. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I read a somewhat recent interview that RStone did with Ann. She described her career as if it was tantamount to being in a concentration camp with maniacs interned with her. I exaggerate to make a point, but the truth is she had a fantabulous career, making great music, making great money, always having a classy reputation and image, getting to enjoy and accomplish all this with her sister, providing music lovers with great music etc etc etc. Of course there were negatives in her career, but on balance it was a career 95% of the population would die for. But in the interview, the overall summary/sinopsis of her career came off as putridly negative, as is so often the way in our whiny times, I guess. Give me a Kevin Cronin type upbeat and appreciative attitude any day of the week over the wallowing in (mostly false) victimhood stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I would like to hear it because it is a song Anne recorded and released but she did not write it. So, it depends on what was said as to why she made no correction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Mike Reno came into the pizza joint I worked at in HS, Loverboy was playing in my hometown, this was probably 1981. He seemed like a cool dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
