I don't like Peacekeeper either but I think it was released as the first single because of the recent invasion of Iraq Thrown Down would have been an awesome first single though.

While I agree with your theory I would guess that the record company figured they would have a hit from Stevie so perhaps they should release a Lindsey track first to see if a song of his would still be viable.

The problem with that was that no-one ACTUALLY listend to the other lyrics of "PEACEkeeper" and were put off by the title. Back then if anyone mentioned the word "PEACE" they were blacklisted (the dixie chicks) as bieng against the war and being "un-american" it wasn't socially acceptable to be against "operation "IRAQUI Freedom" It was ridiculous. (at first i thought it was just that i was surounded by a bunch of Bush-loving Republicans, but I remember reading peoples comments on AOL when they did a premire for Peace keeper, and people were like "dont you preach peace you hippies" and all kinds of ridiculous stuff. All that got paid attention to was that Fleetwood Mac had a song called "PEACE-KEEPER". And no one was in the mood for a song seemingly about peace and patience. "Peace keeper take your time" Nevermind that the lyrics say "take no prisoners only kill"
I just hate the song though. the annoying ba ba ba ba bwwaa waaamp in the back is dumb. Thrown Down had SOOOOOO much potential, but was released when the types of stations who would play it were switching to freekin Christmass music. IT should have been the lead single. It is my theory that it was released first as (YET MORE) appeasement to Mr. Buckingham.
