Everybody is entitled to their own opinion...it's what makes dialogue interesting. I am a sexagenarian and like to think I have an open mind to at least appreciate what others have to say as long as it isn't offensive or derogatory in any way..."an it harm none". Perhaps others should do the same without prejudice. Namaste.
One of the best sounding acoustic guitars I've ever heard..... Just right, with maybe a touch of chorus here and there, and man he can pick.
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Niel Young (the guitar god) freely admits that Stephen is a better guitar player than he is. That's about all the affirmation a guy needs.
While I agree the negative comments can get bothersome, I disagree they should be band or filtered. Part of the attraction of this site is it is completely unfiltered. It is the responsibility of each individual to understand what is appropriate. And seriously, how cool is it that 99% of us just share politely our thoughts and opinions? If we were "forced" to share in a certain way I believe that would take away a little from the mystic of Radio Paradise. May this station/site continue to be a beckon of hope in an overly censored, overly governed, overly filtered, overly politically correct world/nation. We are all adults, we should take responsibility for our actions and know how to take care of ourselves. If something is offensive then ignore it...I personally just feel sorry for people who have nothing better to do that to post pictures saying, "Me and God hate this song." While listening to a radio station they clearly don't like very much, but I am not going to let it bother me...because it is just not worth it.
Well said, on so many counts.
Kudos for understanding what calypsus was talking about. His/her comments leave me puzzled most of the time, but I think you got the meaning exactly right. (I think.)
Your comments about the unfiltered nature of this site are spot-on. BillG puts it out there that "everything posted should be appropriate for all ages," and that's it. Except for the occasional cuss-word, RP actually is all-age appropriate. I wouldn't like to see this site filtered.
Even though the vast majority of the people are thoughtful and interesting, there are a few trolls on the comment boards, as you pointed out. (I find it both sad and fascinating that some joker thinks he actually speaks for God's musical taste - with a crummy graphic at that.) I actually feel bad for the folks that insist on posting negative comment after negative comment. Interestingly, the trolls almost always leave after a while because their negative comments generate negative attention. Funny how that works, isn't it?

Far out, Catherwood. Roll another bomber and leave it on the side table.
LOVING this picking and smokey voice. It's got dirt under it's nails. Old school.
People, as a 60 year old who did time (air force) in the Vietnam, this is song is a tribute to those of us that found out how we were being screwed by the establishment and found away to flip it off through our acquired training, ergo pilots doing our best shot, regardless of the stupid suppression of smoking dope.

I'm working late and my mind is losing its...er...sharpness...so I am having a hard time figuring out if I should enjoy the irony of this or just move on...
Aw, come on...there is some pretty pickin' and some form of audio restfulness in this SS song, right? Were you rating the individual, his musical legacy, or this song? HNY & Cheers, Z
Anybody who has written songs like he has, deserves a high score, so that would be his legacy. Don't think the song is bad either, would rate that a 6 or 7. But basically I just wanted to annoy god and Wormtail.
Yeah, that figures, given the insight in his taste that god has given us so far. But by all means, keep licking up to him, it may serve you in the end. In the meantime, I'll give Stephen Stills an 8.
