I dunno. Maybe I'm over-sensitive.

It's tough though, coz the things that make you love him also make you hate him. When he says fuck you to his audience, he means it and we don't care anyway but honestly want to say fuck you back sometimes.

AMC's Johnny Mathis' Feet

One of a few of his songs where he self deprecates but shows off dizzyingly great song craft (If i had a hammer, Patriot's Heart, Western Sky etc.)

I think Mirror Moves and Forever Now will always be my favourites.

You're so right - Raymond songs always do go under the radar.

Wonderful song but I'm not so familiar with that first album.
