Heart: Bad Animals - Who Will You Run To

Heart - Bad Animals.  This record contains one of my favorite songs from my musical sweet spot - the mid- to late-eighties.  Technically, Bad Animals came out in 1987, it is the band's 9th studio album.  The song is "Who Will You Run To" which was written by classic American pop songwriter Diane Warren.   Back in the day of making party tapes or road trip tapes (on cassettes for all your little leaguers out there), Who Will You Run To and another great (yet similar) song from their eponymous 1985 album called "Nothin' at All" always seem to "go good" together.  And if you liked one, you loved the other one.  As for Warren - [wiki] "her songs have received six Academy Award nominations, five Golden Globe nominations, (one win), and seven Grammy Award nominations (one win).  Warren was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2001."  I looked up the Songwriters Hall of Fame.  Though founded in 1969 by songwriter Johnny Mercer and music publishers Abe Olman and Howie Richmond - this HOF does not exist in an actual, physical locale or building.  It is a vertual or online museum.  Other W's in it are Jimmy Webb, Fats Waller, Meredith Wilson, and Brian Wilson.  For more see http://songwritershalloffame.org/
