IMHO if this was the first single from Tusk it would have made the top 10 and they would have sold many more albums. This is the most radio friendly song on the album. Tusk made the top 10 from the limelight of Rumours and the Mac's first song since that album. But its not a mainstay of classic rock songs on stations today. I just think this song sounds very traditional Fleetwood Mac and would have blunted criticism the band got when Tusk was released.

I was thinking how this is probably the one song of hers that was more in line with the traditional sound of Rumours as opposed to the overall theme of Tusk. Interesting point you made in how releasing this song as the first single could have changed the perception and sales of Tusk. But then again it was not what the band(Lindsey) wanted to do. The whole idea was to reinvent themselves and show that they didn't have to stick to a particular style of music.
