Heart of the matter

Heart blew me away last night at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. It was my first time seeing Heart. Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson put on one of the greatest rock shows I've ever seen. They did a beautiful rendition of, "These Dreams." Then they added a special surprise song at the last minute after meeting a little girl named, Taylor, back stage. Nancy had asked the young girl what her favorite song was. Taylor requested the Elton John song, "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters." That is my favorite song of all time. The Wilson sisters did a gorgeous acoustic rendition of the song.

Here are the lyrics to the song:
And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I'll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found
