I agree...
I was among in the minority on this site that said "Green Light" was a good, left field song for Legend...Think about it...It all starts off with the fact that it's uptempo, which Legend was not known for...Throw in the fact that it's like the long lost kissing cousin to Joe Jackson's "Steppin Out" (listen to both songs back to back...they are not the SAME...But their cadence and mood are giving a nod...)and a "cool" verse from 3 Stacks and a bit of humor and you got a roll of the dice that actually worked...
