Fair enough.

But if the song itself isn't a total wash... just this version... then why all of the animosity towards it?

How far off from the live versions is the album track, really, that it's impossible to see any merits?
It's certainly not as distinctive of a difference as that of songs such as "I'm So Afraid," "Not That Funny," and "Rhiannon."

So why is a song that's apparently enjoyable live... in an arrangement not very far off from the album version at all... suddenly so woefully dreadful on the album? And in comparison to nineteen other songs no less?

It's personal opinion, of course... and there's nothing wrong with that.
But it does seem a little off-balance to me, all things considered.

I explained why I felt that way, you must not have read it.

Five of them from the Queen of Velvet Fountains and Fairy Farts, no less.

If this were "Save Me A Place" we were talking about, and it had immunity for so many rounds, and calls for its demise were growing louder and louder with each round... would you then suddenly feel that it must not deserve to stick around after all?

Nah, I have a feeling you'd just chalk it up to people with poor taste... or, perhaps, to Stevie Fans experiencing a bit of sour grapes.

And those calls for "Sara's" demise, which are growing ever louder, are still pretty much coming from all of the same people.
You, Greg, Kate, Homer and Hawkeye.

Quite an angry mob y'all make.

I am quite amazed at the names "opportunist" and "manipulator" being thrown about. Remind me never to play Monopoly with you.

To me, smart and logical should go with fair...especially logical. glad you never laid claim to it. And if you admit that you are smart and logical, yet not fair, can you really be amazed that i said opportunist and manipulator? That's what smart and logical is, without fair...
oh, god, Monopoly...It would be epic, i would love to play that game with you. contrary to what others *cough soda cough* think, i have played sports all my life, and games, and i am actually a very good loser, as long as i played my best, AND NO ONE CHEATED OR WAS ILLOGICAL OR UNFAIR!!! Cheating is my pet peeve. But it's hard to cheat in monopoly, anyway, and other than that, all's fair in play and real estate!!!

muchas smoochas,
AMber

Hardly. Review the posts from the past few days, you might change your mind.

I just renewed my minutes at the coffee shop, and the owner's 5 year old son was jonesing for the computer (my kids will never play video games until they're at least 10) but anyway, i stepped of the computer for a moment to pay, and the kid gunned for it, and the guy there i'm friends with was all, to the kid "Don't piss off an Italian woman...if you don't learn anything else in this life, never make an Italian girl mad"

I'm not like the New York Italian ladies that you see in movies and stuff, cause i'm from Cali, but i do have a fairly quick temper, and unfortunately, a very expressive face...
Luckily, my temper goes as fast as it comes....

I'm like: "what? you're still thinking about that? I sooooo forgot about that...sorry!"

Yeah, you said that the album version is bland and boring compared to the live versions (I'm not claiming this is a direct quote)... and I just don't see how the live versions are so drastically different.

It's true i want to be able to vote sara out, but, i've looked inside my emotions, and i'm not yet that angry about it...it's so hard for me to be REALLY mad at stevie

rest assured, however, that i will vote sara's ass off quicker 'n you can say....uh....smap!

Your laughing, but those are some of my fav. lyrics. I like cats, dark, being taken by the wind, women that you've never seen the likes of before...maybe it's the native american in my upbringing, but i really enjoy nature imagery.
