Hey, I get it. I love “Gypsy”—it’s a pop masterpiece. But I don’t walk away from it the way I do “The Chain” or “Gold Dust Woman,” or even “How Still My Love” and “Bella Donna.” I feel joy when I hear “Gypsy.” It’s joyous, nostalgic, warm, even exciting. But that haunted feeling I get when I hear those harmonies on “Rhiannon,” for instance—none of that with Gypsy.
