Ahh, ye olde Texas Renaissance Festival, the time when lovers of legend and yore can let their freak flags fly in Plantersville, TX. If you haven't made it to the Ren Fest yet, you've got until the weekend after Thanksgiving to make it. PHOTOS BY SON LAM
It wasn't until we started digging back into Heart's material that we remembered just how much of their catalogue provided a framework for AOR and classic-rock radio. Sure, everyone remembers "Barracuda" and "Magic Man" - or should, anyway - but the Wilson sisters flat-out owned the Dazed and...
