Hey, I agree with that but like I said, I left the lyrics out of my part of discussion yet again.

So, I think SN can still write a great song - hand down. Also, the demos in the VH1 special were very similar to the final SYW product even though LB clearly gave subtle brilliance to them, although I wish he would have kept the flute in SG.

Put someone else to sing those and then we'll see how much attraction it has. Maybe you and DownOnRodeo ought to work together in order to convince me.

Finally, this whole "I am an artist and will not compromise my work for commercialism" argument is a bunch of hooey IMO because they all want to sell records not matter what any of them say.

Yeah, I agree. But there's different levels in that. SN has changed according to the commerical climate while Buckingham is still the eccentric '60s hippie smoking pot and fooling around in the garage with his various sounds. Maybe he's just dated.

Otherwise, why would they fo with a large label that they know will insist on that

You can be on a large label but you don't have to do everything the label says or completely give in on musical issues. Lindsey doesn't and I believe Stevie doesn't either. She just has better business sense.
