Patty Smyth

I’ve never really given the Patty Smyth thing much thought as it never was going To happen.

Today I’m listening to Missing Persons and I’ve always thought that the guitarist had a really great Sound. Then it dawned on me. This is quite possibly what Ed would have been going for. I think he would have flourished with a Singer like Patty Smyth or possibly Dale Bozzio.

I think about when I first heard Pat Benetar and how hard she sounded at the time. Heart for that matter. Didn’t they actually tour with Heart early On? I’m sure Ann’s powerful vocals also had an affect On him. It’s really not that far off from where they went with Sam. Under the right Conditions they could have become something even bigger, but in a different capacity.

I don’t think all would have liked this direction , but it really was the Ed show for all intents and purposes. Al would have been along For the ride.
