Me? Not at all, I just know **** when I hear it.

No matter what we may think of the song as individuals, the end result is always worthwhile if someone comes away from it with something.

Some people obviously like/love "WTTR...S," so to me, that makes it worthwhile.

Tastes are tastes. But to call this song brilliant is a stretch. A big stretch. It has nothing to do with the structure or whatever. The song SUCKS. There's nothing redeeming about it. It's that simple.

Well I'm one of those who just doesn't care for it, in fact Tango is my LEAST fave of the Rumors line-up, half I like, half I just don't care, and half I really dislike. As for why, WTTRS is just so very depressing, the vocal and music don't really mesh, and she rambles off in the end. I do like some of the lyrics, but overall they are just a bit off, plus I don't care for the use of Tara. But then again I really don't care for much of Stevies work from 87-95 with a few exceptions, overall it just seems like Stevie lost part of what made me love her, she just has very little enthusiasm, or even focus, and seems really depressed, and yes I do know about the klopin stuff...

Tell Tommer again why it is that "I Must Go" is so great.

(Don't mind me, I'm just being puckish.)

And this is why I must go
I must go
And this is why I must go
I must go

Dang it, man, it's infectious. So much so that, I just can't help it,

I MUST GO

I like the rhythm, vocals, and lyrics of WTTR...S. I have the Family Man single and I still can't stand it. Obviously some of us have strong opinions on both sides.

c'mon, it's unfair and politically incorrect to laugh at those who listen to Go Insane man... just go to the market and buy yourself some tact.

I miss my Family Man vinyl. I left it on my porch and it melted.

I gotta join the LOVE Family Man and dislike not hate WTTRS. And I also LOVE Caroline the other Lindsey song bashed from this album. Face it people Tango just wasn't Stevie's album. It was Lindsey's and christine's to a point, although Mystified is another clunker. As is Watsah Mattah Baba. Of course Watsah Matah Baba is a masterpiece next to The Second Time. And The Second Time is a masterpiece next to When You Say.

Again, to each his own, but I find Tango Stevie preferable to BTM Stevie. But I do love Freedom.

I have the "Family Man" 7" single, the 12" maxi-single, AND the cassette-single... and you can't have any of 'em!

Didn't stop me at all from laughing at you for saying Welcome to the Room Sara is brilliant. I wish we had a place on this board for "Insane Quotes from Ledgies."
