I once read an interview in Rolling Stone with James Blunt, and the author was tackling the subject of the massive overexposure that his song "You're Beautiful" received - even resulting in some stations banning it from the airwaves. James had a really good point; he basically said that if you love chocolate cake, and you find the best chocolate cake you've ever eaten, and you eat so much of it that it makes you sick - you can't fault the cake. It's still the best chocolate cake out there. Your own gluttony will never diminish the quality of that chocolate cake. Show a little restraint, and don't blame the baker because you made yourself sick.

I don't always agree with all your posts but this one nailed it beautifully.If Landslide and Dreams were eliminated from her body of work her stature would be diminshed.The songs were overplayed and covered by others because they are timeless classics.Is Casablanca any less of a great film because one may have seen it 20 times?I just don't get that logic.
