Stevie & Dave M. & "Crash through the eyes of a woman"

[michelej1]

Come on. Come doesn't offend most because of the sex. It's because of the bravado and taunting. Think of me sweet darling every time you don't come.

If it had been, "I'll think of you sweet darling every time I don't come," that might be be pleasant and palatable and maybe Stevie would be singing it with the same ribbon-swinging vigor that she sings Second Hand News.

...and I think 'Come' is awesome. No offense...

This reminds me of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. And I will be the one to hold you down. Kiss you so hard. I'll take your breath away. I love the song, but it's like an ode to rape.

Lindsey has said that Come was about Anne Heche. Not that I believe everything he says, but . . . I think it's a safe bet. The "God" lyric would have to be about her, even if the rest of the song wasn't, just based on what she has said about her psychosis. At any rate, you make a nice point about Stevie never having said she had a problem with Come. She probably did. But we can't assume she did based on Lindsey's report any more than we can assume he says all the stupid stuff she claims he does or, if he said them, that he said them for the reasons she ascribes to him. So, just because he said she didn't like Come and might think it's about her doesn't mean he wasn't just regaling himself with the possibility.
