No, it's not hip... But I think for it's time it may have been.... Maybe the Civil War version was too literal and told the whole story. Or maybe they had one of those focus groups preview the clip like they do with movies and give opinions on it.... Or maybe the image it gave of Stevie wasn't the direction she wanted to go in... I don't know... I like the civil war version, I just don't think it really fit too well with the song... Maybe if I'd had seen it back then, I would think the other way around... who knows.
