Tired of Rumours?

Gosh, ANOTHER reissue?

I will say the Rumours Super Deluxe is worth it for a number of reasons, especially “Planets of the Universe”; the full outtake with vocals of “Keep Me There”; a run-through of “Think About It”; and the early take of “Oh Daddy,” without Stevie’s cool but ungrammatical contribution (“and I can’t walk away from you, baby if I tried”) and instead the original, less-evocative but perfectly grammatical line: “and it’s helping through the night.”

But I won’t spend any more $ on further Rumours reissues.

Completely agree. I still enjoy all those alternative versions, demos, bonus tracks, the included concert. And that's enough from the Rumours universe to me.

Agreed! But can you elaborate on the ungrammatical quote? I’m not seeing what’s grammatically incorrect about that line. But then, grammar was never my strong suit.

Mismatched tense.

I can't(present tense) walk away from you even if I tried(past tense).

A more grammatically correct option would be "even though I try" (present simple) or "even though I've tried" (present perfect)

But I couldn't say that to Bob Dylan even if I tried.

Hey, the skies the limit on this subject.

Not a grammar mistake, but you made me remember this anyway:

So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"

But wine is not a spirit drink, because spirits are alcoholic beverages produced by distillation. And wine is just fermentation. Don commented he was criticized for that mistake, to which he laughed saying something like It's just a song, lyrics are written to rhyme or sound good, nothing more.
