Huh?

The only objection I have to this song is that the vocalist sounds too much like Tracy Chapman for my taste. (Even just being reminded of TC is enough of an annoyance!)

That's an interesting comparison, I had never thought about that....but I will admit to loving that song you mention, and Fleetwood Mac in general, I would say it's for sure true that Buckingham's guitar style affected me for sure....as an aside, I have an original copy of the Buckinham/Nicks debut....which I'll admit I bought at the time because of the picture on the cover, but then I loved it too, BONUS!

I should note that "STILL" (me) and "The Stills" are different entities. Though we have spoken and are friendly, I'm just me, and they are on Vibe I think...


But I agree with everything you said about RP, and I support them and others like them, as well as appreciate THEIR support to me, it's not an easy time to be in music, while it's also a great time!

Religious?

Sorry you think it's crap, but hopefully it's because you think it's religious somehow...which isn't the least bit on my mind in that song....listen again sometime, it's got a lot more to do with corporations than religions...

Interesting take on it tho...gonna try and figure that one out...
