maybe i'm using the wrong expression. to me, GDW is Stevie's most rock song ever. not pop, not folk, not adult contemporary... rock. period. a single song in my mind deserving of her rock queen title. i can look over everything else i don't like because there's GDW.

i understand what you guys are saying about moody, mystic, performance artsy, etc... but that is the part of SN i personally don't care about, even though i guess it's what attracts so many of you to her writing and public persona. i care about several songs that are either beautiful ballads with universal timeless meaning, or a few songs that are rock. those are GDW and SOTM, in my book. stretching them back to moody ruins it for me. i want them to stay rock, or jazzy is fine too.

you all have all other songs of hers that you love... but she has taken away one of just a few songs that i loved with doing what she's doing on this current tour.
