I don't hate Silver Girl at all. I think it's lovely. I am haunted by that line: "...if she lets you, see her soul..."
I just meant, for me, that that three-song Stevie break in the middle of the album portrays the arc of her experience: break up with Lindsey (SAY), dealing with heartache with drugs (RTTG), mature awareness and insight (SG). What you wrote about NMB as a kinda update of The Chain made me realize that it would fit into that trio of songs in place of Silver Girl, which fine though it is, kinda turns that trio of songs into a drag, while Not Make Believe would re-energize the listener for the final lap of that album.
