Interesting view. Would you elaborate? There are two fundamental synthesizer parts, are there not? The rapidly arpeggiated figure in the high reaches -- the I, II, III, & V ascending & descending, which is undoubtedly programmed -- & the triadic chords: I - V7 - I - V7 etc. I see nothing in the latter that distinguishes itself as something Chris would not play. Chords are chords.

And then there's the demo that Timothy White aired. Yamaha DX-7 famous voicing, like a Rhodes doubled by a vibraphone, used on broken-chord eighth notes. Nothing odd or unusual.

It never sounded like something that Christine would play and it was somewhat further evidenced to me when Brett played that part on the Dance Tour.

Interesting question for Christine: Why did she want to play maracas on that song in concert, not just for the 1997 tour but for the 1987 & 1990 tours, too (with Dan Garfield laying down the synth pad)?
