Me too, But I kind of like how it is, because if it was "Outside the Rain" it might be over kill since he referrenced "Rock a Little." This being said, I adore this song.

You're referring to Steve Ferrone, right? I thought I remember seeing his name involved with the sessions for this album. I always remembered his name from the booklet for Christine McVie's 1984 solo album..

Yes, typo...apologies.

I could see how it could have been over kill, but I thought it was really neat he kept referencing her songs, but then dropped the opportunity to mention OTR! In all, I noticed her referenced:

Leather and Lace
Angel (though I don't know if he meant to actually reference it)
Fall From Grace
Rock A Little

Oh! I never realized he referenced Angel. You're probably right, that's probably what he was doing. But I caught on about the other 3 fairly quickly...just forgot to state it in my post Dave's a sneaky little bastard.
