2753018, To be fair, I've always been iffy about his more "political" songs

outside of You Haven't Done Nothin'. I'm not even big on Happy Birthday, even though it's an anthem.
Stevie's "social ills" songs have always sounded a bit heavy-handed and corny, to me.
I'm not one to call people "preachy" for making songs that are actually *about* something, but Stevie
comes across that way, for me personally, when he goes there. Seems like he's at his best when
singing about....
well just about anything except politics.
