It should be noted that the National Review is a pillar of Conservative/Republican politics, and as such inherently hates on anyone who identifies as an Obama supporter/Democrat/liberal. So their sense that Springsteen and Nicks are not Trump supporters and indeed encourage people to vote Biden permeates the entire review.

Stevie's song is still cringeworthy (haven't listened to Springsteen's new album) but the criticisms in this article don't even touch on the music or the piece as a song, but instead bash the perceived and/or stated political positions of the performers.

But you have already admitted that the song itself is an unlistenable dud

And it didn't chart on the Hot 100. AC/DC's new song has 16 million views.

They watch the viewer count on Youtube and crawl out of the woodwork to applaud Stephanie.

You hit that nail right on the head!

$he could eat 50 White Castles and drink a 12 pack of Budweiser, and they'd tell how great her farts smelled. Not joking.

I feel that Stevie put all her might into these new releases and did tons of press and couldn’t even get her new releases to chart on Billboard. To me this means her career is over. She couldn’t even chart in the top 200. That’s awful. She won’t do another album. She is not stupid.

One has to wonder if now she is starting to realize how much she ticked off true fans. She ruined Fleetwood Mac and she embraced Hollywood by trying to capitalize on her abortion and political views. Get woke, go broke. It’s all backfired now. She comes off as a fake has-been.

All of their careers are over as top selling artists. The Dance was their swan song of being on top. They're all legacy acts now. Lemme play you some songs from 45 years ago. "BTW, these are my last youthful years". (BOTH of my grandmas died younger than "youthful" $tevie)

Even if in the back of her mind, $he knows how much $he f*cked up by firing him, $he blocks it out. And with Karen and $tevie's PAID friends telling her how wonderful $he is, every minute of the day, it's fairly easy to block out(I would assume).

$he IS a fake has-been.

I really don't think the firing matters much to most people, although the political muck might. None of the Mac members are anything more than has-beens, Stevie just happens to be the one with fans. And as a band they have been an oldies road show for over twenty years.

Happy Birthday. Btw, Stevie is allergic to gluten so no "murder burgers" as we call them in Manhattan!
