I truly believe that ANYONE who is enthusiastic to see this tour - those people are primarily Stevie fans. Actually rejoicing because the old hag is the boss now, and kicked that "mean man" to the curb.

look, we can all remember how you behaved when you first joined. i'm glad that you are polite and constructive discussant these days, but like people didn't forget BuckVie was supposed to be FM album, some of us still remember that you are Stevie-fan first, no matter how much you scream that you so LOVE THEM ALL!

Lindsey and Chris - you know - 2 out of 3 FM songwriters! - played twice right on your doorstep last year. yet both times you found the reason not to see them.

i think you can distinguish right from wrong, and i'm happy for the world we live in that you can. but you are Stevie-first fan and so in this particular case you don't care about the right or wrong. and that's fine. but i don't understand why the need to hide that, tbh.

They're already choosing songs to fill the slots Lindsey's songs have left vacant. I think I even read "When I see you again" as one of the options. Whatsamattababy!!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I think the happiness because Lindsey's gone is clouding their vision.

You're right, I didn't drive 2 1/2 hours or 4 hours to see Lindsey and Christine in concert last year. I also didn't drive 90 minutes to see Stevie in concert, either.

I've never screamed I love them all. I do like the 3 singer/songwriters a lot. It is possible to like all three. Why wouldn't I like Lindsey? Go Your Own Way is THE FM anthem, in my mind. If that FM release had said "Stevie Nicks will not be touring with us in 2018 and we want to welcome Sheryl Crow in her place," I would have the exact same reaction. "Wow, I can't believe they kicked her out, but they must have had a reason. I wonder what Sheryl will sing? Will she record with them?" And it's not that I'm a Sheryl Crow fan, either, but yeah, I would still follow the band to see where this went.

See, I know they're all rich, or at least CM, LB, and SN are, so I'm not sad for or worried about them. They're going to be just fine no matter what. Lindsey no E longer touring with FM is a bummer for the fans, but there's no need to be sad for him because he can continue his solo recording and touring, which is great for the fans. Same thing with Stevie, if she had been fired from FM, why would anyone be worried about her? She'd be just fine and could record and tour on her own.

when people express that enthusiasm my initial reactions are grouped as follows:

1. some people don't distinguish wrong from right.
2. fans who are enthusiastic are fans of pre- or post-rumours 5 incarnations of the band primarily, and not just the classic 5 version, so i understand their interest, as long as they acknowledge the betrayal.
3. fans who are enthusiastic are Stevie-first fans and they couldn't care less who else is in the band. some of them might actually be rejoicing since some of them were always griping against Lindsey in the first place, and she finally managed to push him out. they don't care about what's wrong what's right, as long as they don't need to see Lindsey ever again. :laugh:

And she doesn't care! For the past few years, half the reviews I read about her say, "just shut up and sing a damned song. Quit telling your damned stories, that no one wants to hear, anyway!"

I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a singer to SING, instead of tell stories. I don't think I have ADD for expecting that :rolleyes:

The stories show how full of herself she has become. She thinks people want to hear her stupid stories. Yes, a FEW Chiffonheads do, but the majority are saying, "shut up and sing!".
