I've been singing "it wasn't such a ... great day" even though it wasn't that bad. Although it will be, if people don't leave Love in Store alone! Love that one. So catchy.

If only Christine didn't suck a$$ on Mirage - things might be different

Christine sucks on Mirage no less than the other who. IMO, it's the weakest effort by all of them. Gypsy is good but not great, EOTW is blown away by any live version, Hold Me is good but still a little flat. My favourite of the studio versions on Mirage is Book of Love and it's gone. Overall I think it is the Christine/Lindsey/Stevie line-up's weakest album together but it's still decent because it works quite well as a cohesive unit.

I was just yanking jbrownsjr's chain a little

Actually, though Gypsy could be the most beautiful collaborative effort by them ever, Wish You Were Here is one of my fav. CM songs ever. I think it is stunning. Though I really like her other stuff (I love Hold Me (another stunning group effort) and Love in Store), I think CM is best when she stays true to the bluesy piano a la Wish You Were Here. Also, the harmonies on WYWH are cool.

Interstingly, La Nicks plays this song during the Rolling Stone photo shoot around the time of Bella Donna (ditto for the music to Can't Go Back). So, this song must predate that time.

Also, I love Mirage.

Mirage might be my favorite FM album. It's not that I necessarily think it's the best, but I guess it was the first album I anticipated. Tusk was already out by the time I became a fan. So, Mirage was the first one I waited for with that fanatic lust. Plus, I was in college then and much more into music than I've ever been at any other time in my life.

I listened on vinyl and would have to get up and turn the album over (a lot of work!). I think I fell asleep to it many, many times. It brings back so many fond memories that, even today, I find the album very comforting and have listened to it after funerals. It makes me feel a little lighter, a little younger.

I think Hold Me is a band best of all time and I also love both of Christine's closing songs. No better coda.

Michele
