Jason, did you ever consider that some people might actually be sick of "Sara" to the same level as they are sick of "Dreams" or even "Don't Stop"? Certainly all this mythical quality that it has gained throughout the years in the community affects that, plus all the hoopla on the fanboards to get it back to the setlist and so on. It may not be as overplayed as the two other songs I mentioned but constant speaking about the song will make some feel a bit irritated, to say the least. And I'm not ignoring the strategy votes here, believe me. 
(Hell, I would've wanted it to be in top three, but nevermind.) |
I was just getting a vibe that people were disappointed in that they thought it unfair if LB, who masterminded the concept of essentially all of Tusk
- did not have more songs in the top five and that not having more songs in the top five was a reflection of the quality of these songs - essentially ditto for the great and talented CM. I was just pointing out that this game is not a reflection of quality or popularity. It is a game of skill and apparently ALL (LB fans, Chiffonheads, etc.) players have used that fact to their advantage - yet people skewer the chiffonheads (again and interestingly no one has yet identified these so called people despite being called out to do so
) for playing the game when they do the SAME EXACT THING
Again, all have tried for immunity, I have gotten PM's from many in this and the other game, and people are building clandestine coalitions. So, I was just noting all of that and indicating that this is a game, etc., which you say you knew
As for being sick of Sara - sure there are bound to be some. But, the sword cuts both ways and did anyone ever consider that people, like myself, think The Ledge is garbage and not worthy of being of Tusk much less any other record - yet at the same time others think it is the paradigm of LB's talent, which I think SMAP is
So, once again, it all comes down to individual taste and all of this (figuratively) "he is a Stevie fan and can never like LB song and will do anything to make sure LB cannot win this" is just a load of crap IMO. But, those that wish to perpetutate that false and purposefully inflammatory mindset will do so and who am I to keep them down.
What I do object to is the underlying feeling of some that if Stevie wins it will be a travesty because she has no talent, is a flake, owes everything to LB, her rabid fans love only her and no other FM member, blah blah blah. While no one has said exactly that - it certainly has been implied (at least to me) and I think that that mindset is complete crap IMO - but and again, others clearly perpetuate it to be inflammatory and then cave in when called out on it. Such is the never ending state of the saga on this and other boards
AND - at least it makes for fun reading and if for nothing else to show the level of stupidity that some (on all sides and certainly in the past including me) will sink to in an effort to glorify and insult people they will never meet or know a la FM
