Worst Stevie Mac song

[DauphineMarie]

Just like with Rock a Little, Tango in the Night was a wasted opportunity on Stevie's part. At the time she didn't really have a choice to be there/not to be there, and the band should have understood to some extent. However, during this time I think Stevie was extremely insecure and susceptible to other people's opinions (i.e. why RAL turned out too commercial) and, coupled with the introduction of Klonopin, probably was a nightmare to deal with musically. I do think Joan of Arc could have been the saving grace for Tango, imho.

What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done For You? I think would have been slightly distasteful considering she had just come out of rehab... Other than that it could have been a big hit.

Tom says in his bio that he would say to her why are you being influenced by all these twits who are focused on getting you hit singles??? He said he was very direct and "probably an asshole" and she would get majorly mad when he would call her a "pop star" (and he didn't mean it as a compliment). He told her she needed to be reminded of "what she's capable of" and not making "synthesizer rock". I think this period of time you talk about it the time period he refers to.
