Imma weirdo, but I LOVE Empire State. Always have, always will. It's such a fun song!

Mirage kicks Tango to the curb.

I love the guitar workout on "Tango In The Night." There's nothing as powerful on Mirage.

I think Tango In The Night has nine great songs, with Stevie's latter two songs and the final song on the album (which I still like) being the only three that aren't.

I love both Mirage and Tango. I love that they are different, too. Tango is pretty powerful stuff in the writing. Even WISYA is sung with passion and angst.

I do also love Empire State. Nice kick way to kick it up on Side 2. Especially, after Christine makes you cry.

Makes me wonder about all the Fleetwood Mac tunes that refer to cities: Empire State, The City, Silver Springs, New Orleans, Illume, Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque, and so on.

Bad Journey has a lot of cities in it. Bermuda Triangle has a list of them. Both talk of Key Biscayne.

Fleetwood Mac spent lots of time in Miami and around Key Biscayne during the late 70s. But in Bad Journey she mentions Boise Idaho. I am curious if her or her nephew just thought the syllables fit with the song or she was ever there. I cant recall if the Mac ever played Idaho.
Curious minds want to know.

Ever notice Bob Welch and Lindsey Buckingham wrote songs about NYC? Each song appears on the fourth album of the guitarists’ respective tenures and both songs appear as the opening cut on side 2. Bob’s “The City” is apocalyptic; Lindsey’s “Empire State” is “asinine” (to quote a contemporary review) and total fun; both are all-out rockers on otherwise largely mid-tempo records. And…on Mystery to Me and Mirage, Christine’s vocals close out sides 1 and 2. So there.
I did.

What I realized within the last year is the “The City” is musically “Goin’ Down,” which had been their encore song with Dave Walker.

Bob’s Bermuda Triangle comes to mind. Christine’s “Hollywood” and “Estoril” are two others. Danny’s “Trinity” (I think it applies).

Edit: And “Hypnotized”

TIL “If Anyone Falls” was released on September 3, 1983 and Madonna’s “Holiday” was released on September 7, 1983.

No way. Both of their egos wouldn't fit in the same room.
