[Heeplist] [NHC] New Helix CD

[Rick Wilson]

Yes, long time "Helix" fan here, having seen them live supporting "Kiss" on
their "Lick It Up" tour (obviously) in 1983.  "R.O.C.K. YOU" being one of
Rock's greatest anthems with a perky video abreast of the song's ample
cause set in the bosom of creation, and quite appropriate to listen to
regarding all of this bouncy talk of late.
