Does anyone else besides me think of this song while reading through the various threads (DDY vs. Styx, DDY vs. Larry, DY vs. Styx, albums sold, number of hits, etc.) and their opposing points of view?????

No, but I think of this song sometimes:

She Tells You, You Tell Me
==========================
by Graham Goble

So much hurt is left in the room,
from words that are said without thinking it through,
so little time, would it take to be sure,
that the things you must say are worthwhile ...

You don't know me at all,
if you think you can be careless
and not catch me as I fall,
don't you know, you have the choice,
not to tell me what you see,
she tells you, you tell me ...

So we meet to hear you talk
about what's happening in your life,
you tell me you are happy
and you're cheating on your wife,
oh, you seem to know a lot
about the things that people say,
and you think I need to know their hurting words.

I don't know you at all,
you never seem to notice
when my back's against the wall,
for an angry word, once spoken,
will gain strengh with each repeat,
she tells you, you tell me ...

All things pass,
we all move on,
and if you come to me when you're not so strong,
on that day, you will know,
my words will never leave you when I go ...

I still need you to care,
and I wish you could now look at me
and feel your silent stare,
but sometimes it is the best thing to agree to disagree,
she tells you, you tell me ...

well, no, I've never made the connection. But, now that you mention it, it most definitely fits! I love the song and was very lucky to see it performed live a couple of years ago. I wish it was part of the set list.

The song works because it addresses so many levels of blind idealogy and narrowmindedness (is there such a word?). And we are all guilty of allowing our own personal beliefs sway us at times to our own detriment.

Monker's song has some strong merit here as well.
