I just can't call her that.

Now, I'll call her other names.

Maybe Stevie has heard the new tracks FM's been working on and doesn't think they're good enough. I hope that's not the case.

More than likely it's the other way around, ie: Tango In The Night, Cheaper Then Free...

I don't think that's how it works anyway. And if it were I doubt she has a better ear for quality than both Lindsey and Christine combined.

"Mama" is a term that gets used at times to refer to Stevie, yes, by her fans. Not because we wish she gave birth to us, thankyouverymuch.

Per Urban Dictionary:

TOP DEFINITION
mama
a very attractive woman

OR:

mama
A mama is a strong matriarchal figure who rules with an iron fist all of her extended family and almost anyone from the neighborhood who somehow gets near any of it. The stereotypical mama is a large voluptuous black woman with a powerful voice and a dominant personality. Her mere presence can defuse a tense situation and bring a castrating truce to male-generated violence. The mama is not afraid of confrontation as she's seen a lot of **** in her life, and as she's seen almost everyone around her when they were still in diapers. A mama's words can neutralize several guns at once, and, when scolded by a mama, even a feared gang leader shrinks back to the status of a child and may be seen hanging his head in shame.

In other words, she's a don't-push-me-around-coz-I've-seen-it-all tough broad who's earned her place as a legend the hard way and she was the chick every guy wanted to be with in her heyday. In other words, she's a mama. Oy.

sounds more like Christine in Mac's heyday, no?

[wine in the face "do not ever do this to this band again!"]

too bad Christine doesn't seem to exert that kind of power over the band anymore. we'd have that album in our hand already if she did!

Mamacita maybe but not Mama.

It ruins her allure.

Didn't Stevie refer to herself as mama?
So, did she say that because fans affectionately refer to her as mama or do fans refer to her as mama because she called herself that first?

The two are used interchangeably. Except one is necessarily spanish.

Sometimes I don't understand the things people here make deals out of.

I've never heard anyone refer to her as "Mama," nor have I ever called her that myself. It doesn't make much sense to me to call her that.

But someone did. No big deal. It's not derogatory.

I'm not as bothered by Mama as some others are, but I would sooner use LaNicks.

I didn't think it was offensive or anything. Just a wee bit strange.
