'When you believe in things you don't understand ...."

Given the calendar and the way my day started off, this seemed an appropriate song with which to end the week and bring a little heat into what promises to be a chilly weekend.

"If you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer," Stevie warns us, a statement as true of technology as it is about superstition.

(BTW, the tall girl in the middle of the backup singers is Aisha Morris, Stevie's daughter and the inspiration for the song "Isn't She Lovely?" As you may recall, she sang a little backup in that one too.)
