I am gonna say something a bit mean to Dave, don’t you think it is a bit pompous to hijack this day, because this one has already a big meaning right? Sure the Foo Fighters’ first album came out a 4th of July, but please…

Heather Powell has an all-time classic kind of voice, she sings with very versatile, strong and beautiful vocals, expressing a wide range of feelings in a short amount of time,… think Karen Carpenter with even more possibilities as Heather can really push these notes very high
