I'm sure in your world of SN supporters you all still love her and couldn't care less about what she did, because as long as she's still the "Queen of whatever", everything is fine, right?
If you're a die-hard SN cultist, you clearly never met many Lindsey fans, but we exist.
Oh, I'm sure Stevie is fine. She got what she wanted: she got rid of Lindsey, she brought MC to the band and she still has her cult and her yes people around her that couldn't care less what she does as long as they can continue adoring her.
Have fun at.... what was it again?   |
I have definitely met LB fans on the road following FM. Not nearly as many as SN fans, but some. I remember spending an entire night with a lovely group of LB devotees while waiting in line for an FM Today Show appearance overnight in NYC. Some of them had come all the way from Australia that night to see the band, pretty amazing. But like I said, I wouldn’t expect those people I met that night to show up for shows now. They were specifically LB fans, and he isn’t here anymore. But Stevie people who go to see Stevie? They’re all still there. She hasn’t lost them. You could replace everyone else in the band with cardboard cut-outs and Stevie people would still go. As long as Stevie is in this band, her fans will be there. I once heard that comedian Kathleen Madigan say “Stevie Nicks could eat a baby and I would still be a diehard Stevie Nicks fan.” And that sums it up better than I could. I highly doubt Stevie is concerned at all. I’m sure she has not seen any change in the amount of fans who show up and the adoration she receives. I know you guys want this to be a failure of a tour and want her people to turn on her but in reality, her fans aren’t going anywhere and the tour is a relatively big success. I’m not saying she deserves it or that her actions weren’t wrong or that she’s a great person or anything. I don’t claim any of that. But however we want to phrase it, Stevie won this round. She’s doing fine.
