Behind the mask

Count me "in" on Family Man, too...I don't think it's a well crafted song, but the guitar work on it is just brilliant; which, being a guitar player myself, takes precidence.

I love what I call the "bass B-3" sound on "Empire State", VERY Brian Wilson-ish. Ya know, Mick, in his book, says that "Empire State" was kind of a "make-up" song for the bad vibes of Welch's "The City"...I'm not so sure I agree with that. I think that there's such a "competition" (subconciously ingraned in people) between NY & LA...Lindsey had just released a song called "That's How We Do It In L.A." on Law & Order...and to not alienate his NY fans, wrote "Empire State" for his subsequent album (which ended up being a Fleetwood Mac album instead).
