I mean unless you are saying something that's like totally politically irrelevant or something most any of Stevie's songs could be released today.

Howdy!
To me, songs like
Forest Of The Black Roses, Melacine, and
Cecelia are a bit... I dunno... callow. They're cute and thoroughly Stevie... but Stevie's such a different person these days that her singing them would be totally irrelevant. To me she's even a different person than she was while she was recording
Trouble In Shangri La. There was such a dynamic shift in her post 9/11. I just think she'd feel silly digging some of those old songs up... and might even look it too.
It was a young girl who wrote those songs... and now she's a much harder, technically elderly, woman.
