I doubt Peter & Jeremy could name, or even recognize, five songs by Stevie Nicks -- which is just about the number she could name of theirs!

3) The only thing I know about "Forever" is that they used a drum machine. If I'm not mistaken, he addressed this on his first epic Q&A on this very website.

"Forever" is a lovely tune. People talk a lot about Christine's being a "rhythm" player, but they don't seem to know what they themselves mean. But the piano arrangement in "Forever" is a perfect example of that -- it's a bass-like part that helps lay rhythmic foundations.

4) There is an interesting theory that all of Lindsey's songs on "Tusk" are sort of a progression. On NTF, it's as if he feels everybody is blaming him for something, and his "don't blame me" is akin to "get off my back already." But, on IKINW, Lindsey sounds like he's more confident, "don't blame me...I know I'm not wrong," as in "hey, it's not MY fault." I want to say it was one of the Davids who came up with this theory. Makes sense to me.

Not me -- I almost never play these intentional fallacy games with lyrics. But certainly those songs are similar in lyrical content; the elliptical, almost paratactic approach in the orchestration; the cards-on-the-table attitude; & the low-period rupture of the performance.
