Stevie Nicks versus Billie Holiday? Is he insane?

Richard Cohen proves his wankery extends beyond political punditry all the way to music.

So it could be that Clinton would lose the Democratic nomination even if she were a gifted politician. But she has no such gift. Her smile is strained. She is contained. She seems unknowable, and there is that melancholy Billie Holiday air about her -- all those songs about a suffering woman. Most of us would prefer Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)," the upbeat theme of Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign.

Now, I bow to no man in my affection for '70s music and attendant hair styles, but I ask you, what sentient human being prefers Fleetwood Mack to Billie Holiday?

UPDATE: While a commenter takes me to task for comparing the two (which, I'd point out is what Cohen did, not me), seems I'm not alone in being awe struck by Cohen's musical chops.
