Just a few quick responses.

If "Chiffonhead" is being used in a derogatory way, then I'd like to think I'm more sophisticated in my tastes and more intelligent in my explanation of said tastes, than the connotations behind that nickname imply.
But if it's being used with affection, then I'll wear the little label proudly.

Not that you've dogged him necessarily... just that I've never noticed you being as vocal in your appreciation of his work, as you are regarding Christine's.
Plus, you seem to hate "Come" and "Murrow" and seem to have little-to-no affection for 'Say You Will'... which is half Lindsey, song-wise, and all Lindsey, production-wise (figuratively speaking).
So I didn't figure you hated him, I just figured Christine was at the top of the list, and Lindsey was somewhere higher than Stevie, but much lower than Chris.

Forgiving, yes... but more forgiving than Christine & Lindsey's fans are of the same "sin"?
No, I don't believe that to be true.
I see quite a few Chris & Lindsey songs that your typical music lover might dismiss outright as being lame, goofy, boring, crappy, subpar, etc.... yet get praised to the high heavens by their fans (which I am most definitely including myself amongst).
We're
fans... we like this music for a reason, and we're always going to like certain songs that would cause most other people to scratch their heads and question our sanity.
Stevie's fans may be louder in their defense of Stevie, because they seem to exist in higher numbers... but they're truly no more defensive or forgiving than Christine's or Lindsey's fans, when it comes right down to it.

"The Highwayman" is probably my least favorite song on 'Bella Donna'... I'd definitely take "Doing The Best That I Can" or "Ghosts" or probably even "Alice" over it.
Again, it's a matter of personal preference.
