Don't look at me, I like Sister Honey.

I am going to listen to RAL today and see what song to vote for. I like this album and remember having the cassette at one time. It's sort of nostalgic for me, kind of want to vote those songs back and start over. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!!

Well, I can tell you that ordinarily I would vote against it just because it has an outside writer. But it's the one song I make an exception for. I would vote against Blue Letter, Seven Wonders and Talk To Me immediately, because they didn't write it. With strong songwriters, I just think its sacrilege to have a song voted "favorite" that they didn't write.

However, I make an exception for SBS, because it's so evocative and special. Some people, however, may make it an early casualty, because it's not Stevie's. It may be easier to let go than one of hers.

I understand your point. But I don't think it's sacrilege. If you like a song, you like it. That's all it's meant to do and be. If someone really makes a song their own, that can be as powerful as writing it themselves. Didn't Bob Dylan like Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower more than his own?

Don't look at me, y'all. I keep doggedly voting for HAEWAFY, and it's. still. there.

I wouldn't really know.

I'm just offering an explanation as to why SBS may have been getting early votes, even though it's a great song. Normally, I would have voted a song like that off straight away without even thinking about it.

With that one exception, when it comes to LB, SN, and CM, I don't really like a song as much as if they didn't write it. It's a mental thing, but it's there. I would say that SBS is the only exception. Try for the Sun, I am Waiting, Love Minus Zero/No Limit, Blue Letter, Seven Wonders, Reconsider Me -- not to mention the dreadful Talk To Me and all of Lindsey's Rolling Stones covers. . . I just can't feel the same way about them, whether they're good songs or not.

Oh, I make an exception for I Still Miss Someone and Too Far From Texas as well.
