Tin ear does not begin to describe it. Let's take Home Free just for starters. In "Be On Your Way," Dan sings it with a golden tone that is beautiful beyond description. His high harmonies are among the most beautiful I've ever heard. His vocal range is sick. (His high harmonies on his next album were called ghostly by Rolling Stone.) On "Be on your Way," I would call them angelic. It seems doubtful that Mr. Giles has the ear for such subtle beauties. (One of Dan's trademarks.) If you don't have an ear for subtle beauty, you don't get Dan. At the same time he is singing "Be on Your Way" with a golden tone, he is whispering. Try singing and whispering at the same time. Only Dan can do it. It's subtle yet incredible. Lets move on to Wysteria. In all of music history there has never been a song that resembles this song. It can not be defined. There has never been a song that is like it in anyway. It fits no category. Only Dan can do this. This comment only covers 2 songs on one album. I could go on and on. His Electric and acoustic guitar virtuosity alone is enough to marvel at. Only a musical tin ear could miss it. His musical precision on the guitar is legendary in the world of professional musicians. In the world of professional musicians, Dan is considered a musician's musician. Mr. Giles, your opinions of Dan shout musical ignorance to the world. Listen more carefully with an ear toward subtleties. Dan purposefully wrote subtle beauty for only those with a great ear to hear. So did Mozart. I have never in my life read anything so musically misinformed as Mr. Giles article.

So many artists said what they had to say and then just tried to keep playing music regardless of the merit, because frankly what else are they going to do? I honestly wasn't expecting much under the circumstances but he surprised me. And I appreciate your candor. OK Jeff,

I thought the chance had passed me by, but then I heard the party had revived itself, so here I am. When I began reading your review for the first time, I was preparing myself for the usual I'm-a-real-man-so-I-hate-Dan-Fogelberg diatribe, but you surprised me. I actually sent your review on to a few industry friends because I was so impressed with it; I can honestly say that it meant more to me than any other review I'd read. In our polarized society, where people take sides and defend them despite all fact or reason to the contrary, you actually took the time to listen to the music, weigh it's merits, and write your honest opinions about what you heard, disregarding your preexisting prejudices. I hope DanFans will take the time to read your review in it's entirety, and look beyond the opinions they disagree with, regarding past recordings, to focus on the many fine (albeit grudging), compliments you pay Dan and the CD. Personally, I don't think you're the insensitive creep you personate, but what do I know about real life and fiction? I'm just a pretentious widow trapped in a fucking heartbreaking Nicholas Sparks chapter.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Jean Fogelberg Dear Jeff,

And if it's sanctimonious to care about the planet, our environment, the animals, our fellow humans...then color me sanctimonious. …well, okay since one definition of “sanctimonious” is being virtuous, I would say Dan was quite virtuous and I wasn't aware that was a bad thing.
