Stupid People

this song just (18 minutes ago) came up in my Discover Weekly playlist on spotify (a weekly 30 ish song playlist that they think you'll like based on what you've listened to) I had not listened to this song on Spotify. I wonder if they share info with youtube... or is this just a coincidence? The version is by Richard Thompson from the Rumor and Sigh album.

I first was attracted the Thompson when I heard a song called "Shoot Out The Lights", about the time my divorce was turning nasty. Turns out it was from an album of the same name and the last album he and Linda made together. She was beautiful, talented, sang like an angel, but suffered crippling stage fright, even after several hit albums/tours.

Like Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", it was produced during the turmoil of the breakup, and the tension comes through.
The songs and their order on the album are a clue.
1."Don't Renege on Our Love"
2."Walking on a Wire"
3."Man in Need"
4."Just the Motion"
5."Shoot Out the Lights"
6."Back Street Slide"
7."Did She Jump or Was She Pushed?"
8."Wall of Death

That album spurred me to buy over a dozen of his albums.
