I was never a fan of so-called "butt-rock," hard or lite. However, when I was a teenager I was literally compelled to purchase the 45" single record of "Can't Live Without Your Love and Affection" by Nelson.
Those arpeggios. I mean, these guys found a magic acoustic riff and constructed a Monster Ballad around it. The unabashed divulgence of love. I mean, come on guys, just say what you mean!
The hair. Okay, there's a Village of the Damned quality about so much matching blonde hair and presumably—though I've never been up close with the Ricky Nelson-spawned duo—blue eyes. But still, the hair and sweet voices that blend like only those of siblings can (Ann and Nancy Wilson, anyone?)
Admitting this is my jam, as is Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City on Rock 'n Roll" is uncomfortable, giving my vanity of liking only "the coolest" music. And it's very likely that tomorrow this post will be deleted.
