To me Songbird should have been left off Rumours and maybe just performed as a concert song. I hated having that song as a closer. It was shoved down our throats as the closing song for a thousand years. Stevie did the same with HAEWAFY. I want my concerts to go out with a bang. Rock me to the end of the show! And I will take Eva's version over Christine's any day of the week. |

![]() Well now that you ask me, I would have been happier had Mick given Christine the speech out in the parking lot about removing Songbird and Oh Daddy so they can keep Silver Springs on Rumours.

No one wanted to hear a song about Mick anyway! Not that I ever believed his story about it being about him. Mick went to the $tevie Nicks School of Truth Telling. I had never really thought about it until the other day...SS really DOES fit the mood of Tusk far better than Rumours. And you can do whatever with NTF. I've never understood why Lindsey loves it so. It's my least favorite song of his on Tusk.

Thankfully, no album is perfect, for absolute perfection is a kind of creative death (and some of my favorite FM albums are the ones with noticeable flaws). But reaching near-perfection means realizing a kind of inexhaustible magic, a proverbial sliver of the eternal. Or something like that. So, all those who say “Do away with ‘Songbird’” or “Cancel ‘Oh Daddy’” or “Swap out IDWK for SS”—to those I say you’re revising for worse. |

We're just "what iffing". Silver Springs was NOT on Rumours, and shouldn't have been. That is all.

![]() Yeah—I get the riffing. It can be fun, but I hate when I see beautiful songs dismissed or wished off the record (usually Christine songs) when all the choices that were made really served the record.

![]() If it makes you feel any better, my fave song off the White Album is Warm Ways.

![]() Dreams doesn't seem fair because I can't imagine it without Lindsey and John's musical interlude, which introduces at least one new chord.
What about Albatross?
