Are you eternally jealous that you are not in your late 30's or late 40's right now?

Haha well I actually do tell all my friends that I wish I could just skip ahead in time. I'm dreading the near future for some reason. But being able to see plenty of Stevie, Mac, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, The Smiths, and a ton of other concerts would make up for it anyway. Right now, the majority of my favorite singers aren't active at all, or very little, or just plain suck lately.

I don't understand all the dislike for Silver Girl. Whilst it may not be Stevie's greatest moment, it's far from her worst and actually ranks well amongst the other tracks on the Say You Will album. I think her vocal on Silver Girl is definitely one of her best in the last twenty years - it almost harks back to the Bella Donna days in terms of quality.

I guess I'm just put off by the Silver Girl lyrics, which start off badly and then descend from there. Then, the music is not arresting. It doesn't capture me on it's own. I guess I never got far enough past those two things to even appreciate her vocals, as I should.

She was a silver girl, lost in a high tech world
She was a golden girl, immersed in a hard core world

To come home to that, directly after I've spent a long night running through the garden . . . it just seems too much to bear.

Silver Girl is bland. It's got decent lyrics, but it's just bland. It's better than Sweet Girl,which is truly awful.

Oh but I'm tremendously fond of Sweet Girl!!

I agree! Sweet Girl is another personal fav. I think that everything about Silver Girl is nice. The music, the production, the lyrics, and that vocal is exceptional!
