[@srhmusic13]

I lived right on the border. I would only listen to the radio out of Toronto and St Catherines. Now I'm nowhere near it but I still stream 91.7 Giant FM into my truck.

RIP Kenny, what a voice!!

[@elsieleblanc543]

[@DougFM1962]

Great tune! I used it for a DVD I made of my flying club leaving Van Nuys, California on our way back to Ottawa, Canada. We flew right past the big Hollywood sign, perfect song for that part of the video.

[@triviafreak1]

Awesome guitar rock song!!!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent group and song 🎵

[@davidleslie5376]

Still don't understand how this band didn't make it big (to this day blows my mind). Thankfully got to meet Kenny before he passed. Still one of my favorite Canadian bands!

[@richardcourchene7477]

Do you remember when they were on 10:30 live around 1981? It was a show on CBC back then

[@anishinaabe8928]

Thank you! I witnessed the band perform this at Rock Ambleside 2019 in West Vancouver, British Columbia. It sounded incredible. Cheers!

[@Lynda910]

Saw Loverboy in New Mexico a few years ago and caught Spiders attention with a big "Hell ya Winnipeg"! Got a couple of autographed picks and a poster, way cool... sad, sad day, I was a huge Streetheart fan, that strut will live on for ever! :)

[@54Fighting]

from the days before video. when talent counted more than looks.

[@Devil6CR]

R.I.P. Kenny

[@lastrada52]

Even though I'm not thrilled with "Hollywood" being a subject of a rock song -- the guitar line is the real hook. Kenny Shields' vocals rise above the subject matter and he sings great. Again, the entire band performs at the top of their game. Many other tracks by Streetheart are superior but that guitar melody drives the song and is just great.

[@DocRobotKey]

The Guitar's Tone is Awesome!

[@officialgoogleyoutube]

Wait, why aren't you happy about a rock song that's about Hollywood? What's wrong with that.

[@lastrada52]

Hollywood and rock are not compatible. Hollywood and rock are like oil and vinegar. They can be put together but they seldom mix. Can you name an instance where it worked except for the generosity of Ed Sullivan when he gave Elvis, The Beatles and The Stones spots on his show? And that was more for America's approval than an acceptance. Don't say "Woodstock" -- that was filmed freelance and not by a Hollywood studio. Elvis' movies were travelogues, Sgt Peppers was a mess, Animal House was a comedy with rock songs inserted, Barbra Streisand is not rock. Maybe the only good rock broadcast (and it was cable) was The Last Waltz by The Band. Midnight Special, American Bandstand, Shindig, Hullabaloo -- mostly lip-sync performances by forgettable singers. MTV -- how long did they cater to rock before they abandoned all the videos? When was the last time you saw Dylan on a TV talk show? Have you seen any hour or two concerts on broadcast TV with the Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, or Bruce Springsteen? Lots of Rolling Stone concerts any on broadcast TV lately? Interviews with any big musicians on PBS? Even Austin City Limits has people late at night I've never heard of. Hollywood and rock -- not compatible. Why even sing about them? Of course, maybe Streetheart was being sarcastic about it. That's rock and roll.

[@officialgoogleyoutube]

+John LaStrada, I don't see how that means. Just saying they aren't compatible and listing examples doesn't answer my question, which is "WHY wouldn't you write and produce a rock song about Hollywood?" There's nothing about the lack of historical connection between Hollywood and rock that suggests you can't, and shouldn't, mix them. Hell, there are lots of great Hollywood movies about or centered on rock 'n' roll. And why not sing about Hollywood, in any genre of music? It's a subject rife with potential, as the record industry is not all that different. Side note: Bob Dylan was a folk musician. It's a small gripe, but it's my gripe.

[@rockroll3983]

"Even though I'm not thrilled with "Hollywood" being a subject of a rock song" I have always wondered if they were actually singing to "Holly Wood" of the band "Toronto" (band lead singer)... search them out on here... cheers

[@TheGliverpool]

Rest In Peace Kenny Shields

[@camlpg]

This song is definitely censored on the radio in 2010. Musicians obviously were more free a generation ago. My how we have fallen.

[@rockroll3983]

what part of the original could be censored?

[@homomorphic]

Their music ages better than any other band from Winnipeg, with the possible exception of The Guess Who.

[@imajeepster]

I never cared for this band, but I did like this song.

[@jaymmzzs]

i was just there

[@Dnalyr12]

@Toolshed76 Yes, we do!

[@billphilips8522]

put this song on, get in your car and red line it down the highway.

[@bleachbit5703]

sleep well, Kenny xo

[@psylanja]

I agree...but hey born and raised in Chilliwack....what can I say....

[@jasondedam6402]

golden jet back flip

[@camlpg]

@rsmothersjr When I say Harlequin song 'Hollywood' is censored on radio is because it criticizes women who get what they want by using sexual power. Hollywood being the embodiment of the epitomy of where women can go to get all the sexual power they want.

[@maskof]

I'd like to hear a grunge metal version of this song. Imagine Melvins or Helmut did a version of this.

[@shameyboismith3505]

I cant be the only one here because of jericho's instagram right?

[@ineffable50]
