She probably doesn't do the dishes at home.

It's a term of endearment- not unlike "dear" or "honey." The moniker implies that the person imparts wisdom and is a nurturer and comforter. Haven't you heard the phrase "trust mama on this one," I.e., take it from one who is wise. Accordingly, "Mama" is not defined as a specific gender or age. Mama fits Stevie perfectly, not only because she is the imparted of words of comfort and joy; she also adheres to very matronly values, which would be a more literal interpretation. And finally, she still fits the bill as a "hot mama.". You don't find that offensive too, do y'all?

I like calling her Mama. She's a little earth mama too.

Plus, La Nicks has repeatedly referred to herself as a mother figure to the youngins- or something like that.

So...how long before we start using "Grandma"? Her 61st b-day is rapidly approaching...

She does do them, but she uses Palmolive.

I am adding my two cents after reading the opening post and no one else's.

I honestly think this is Stevie at her worst vocally since 1990/91 (In a very different way though)

I was checking out the canadian performances on youtube and i could not take it. She was having a hard time with Stand Back even- there is a real sluggishness. But she is almost 61! So i just accept it.

Of course all of the comments were raves (from people who were actually in the audience as well) but let's get real here...

To me the star of this tour was Lyndsey's guitar. Everything else has been disappointing.

It's true. Even Kathie Lee said it on the today show how soft her hands are.
So it's not a freaky thing to notice. They really are soft. Softer than
anyone else would feel...Weird but true.

She was pretty bad in Columbus. I honestly think something is wrong with her and she looked like she was having trouble walking. I think this is her last tour.

I've not been overwhelmed by her vocals as of late. I'm trying to really like Soundstage - and there are some gems on it - but some of the stuff just makes her sound like she can't be bothered to sing. I never thought I'd say this, but I don't want to hear her do Eof17 again if she sounds like she did on Soundstage.

I have to agree
Like seriously, Ive held plenty of hands in my 19 years of living..but her hands were like insanely soft.

Having been a very long time devoted fan( late 70"s til now), through the bad and the good.....I have to add for the very 1st time, I AM BECOMING BORED WITH STEVIE!!!....the week of press and exposure was great, but Stevie didn't meet that challenge with anything memorable or exciting....she was soooooo going through the motions and looked bored and old... And even though I think she looked gorgeous on Soundstage....and threw us a few curve balls i.e. "Crash", Circle Dance.....it was still the same ole same ole. She really needs to record again.....all this touring is becoming robotic and boring......AND her lack of enthusiasm shows....even more so with the MAC, she's getting terrible reviews! Someone needs to tell her!@ some one tweet Karen ASAP!!

Stevie for the love of god, please go in the studio!!! And wow us with recordings with the stellar vocal range of "Call on me for Magic" or something new...ANYTHING!!! I don't think I even care what at this point.....NO MORE RE-HASH, She has toured non-stop since 2003 through now..and needs to give it a rest!!!! go out with glory before you beat your own dead horse!!!!!
