I totally agree about "Oh Diane"!!! And those are the exact reasons I can't take "Eyes" and "Book of Love." I thought I was the only one.
I was just talking to a new friend of mine (big FM fan) about this CD. It's one of the few she doesn't have, and she's heard such awful things about it that she's loath to buy it. She's a really big Lindsey fan over all the others, and she heard that his material on it sucks. I told her I love "Oh Diane" and that she might also like some of the others. I don't know about "Empire State." That one is the hardest for me to take. All things considered, Lindsey's Mirage songs don't seem to be his best by any means.
But as for the first comment about "That's Alright," maybe it is kind of weird for the album, being so country and all, but I think it's so brilliant that I don't care! I know I've said this many times before, but it's one of my all-time favorite Fleetwood Mac songs.
