Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart Family Assault-Sisters Barely on Speaking Terms

That’s why I stopped it, because I felt like it was beginning to disintegrate into commercialism. It was chasing the buck. Maybe that’s idealistic, but that’s what I had to do.”

Based on the past quote above, it looks like Ann Wilson is eating her words. First, Heart reunited in December and the setlist was ALL hits - they even delved into most of the cheese heavy 80's catalog.

Next, Heart is on a summer tour opening for Def Leppard on a triple bill with Journey (featuring vocals by Arnel Pineda).

This is certainly "chasing the buck".

What would you do? I haven't looked into their net worth(s), but would you rather play the hits for 20k people, or album cuts for 2k people? Egos are a real thing, even when you're 75.

I'm so relieved to hear that Arnel is still there. Journey has been very cryptic for the past couple of years. I think Neil(Neal) Schon has become a dick? I love Arnel. His story is truly a Cinderella story. He seems very genuine and appreciative.

So much for the "stale" setlists.
