Now, Johnny, no one is questioning whether she thought beyond herself that day. I don't see a point in the things you brought up about helping the firefighters and such; that is not the issue and helps no argument. The issue is the song and whether some feel that it is self-indulgent on Stevie's part, which I believe it is and I've stated my reasons. Her compassion is not at hand here, her song is.
I know, and I wasn't trying to defend or argue... I was just thinking outloud.

(I better check my horoscope, I seem to be having a rough time this week, with my intentions being misconstrued!)

At any rate... and I mentioned this to a close friend the other day... my mother, who only begrudgingly listens to Stevie (she's a total Lindsey fan, and has even asked me to make her a Mac CD with "just Lindsey and Christine songs"), loves "Illumé."
In fact, it, and "Running Through The Garden," are her two favorite songs on the entire album... and to me, that's very impressive.
