The one thing Jack Blades loves most about the Broadway musical “Rock of Ages” is that the songs are the true stars of the show.
Two songs the Santa Rosa bassist, songwriter and singer recorded — “Sister Christian” with the band Night Ranger from 1984 and “High Enough” with Damn Yankees from the early ’90s — are featured.
The musical, still running on Broadway after two years, is set on Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip in 1987 and includes hits by Journey, Styx, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Asia.
“It was pretty crazy back in the ’80s,” Blades recalled. “We were in LA then, recording our albums. The show recreates it pretty well, the whole style and the look.”
