Ahh... I get where you're coming from then.
Yeah, I was bitter for about two days after the election, but then that was it. Bush and his ilk are pond-scum and don't deserve to have that level of control over my outlook. Political regimes come and go... the political climate can shift on a dime... it's not worth it to stay bitter, we just have to keep working to make things better.

The production on 'Street Angel' is a little muddled, due to the troubles behind the scenes... but I was thrilled that Stevie was back to a more straightforward sound.
For my ears, 'Wild Heart' and 'Rock A Little' were a great mix of traditional, REAL instruments with the cool new gadgets of the digital age (synths, drum machines)... but 'Other Side Of The Mirror' took the latter a little too far, at the expense of the former.
'Street Angel' was a return to guitars, drums and pianos, and I loved that aspect. Again, it was just a little too muddled/murky at times.
If you ever have a chance to get a copy of it, you really should. You might actually find an appreciation for it.
