I think the plan is to announce the 1st leg of the tour and see how it goes. If demand is high, and they all feel good about it, most likely another leg will be added and eventually travel overseas, even if it is only European countries.

You wrote:

You worded it so the reader would assume you were being derogatory toward Stevie's quest for financial gain.

Or why do you insinuate that she is wicked, evil, mean and nasty because "it's all about the sales for her"?

There is nothing in my sentence that suggested being derogatory much less suggested I was thinking: "wicked," "evil," "mean," "nasty." You claim that a derogatory tone could be gleaned by my "sentence structure." What possibly in my sentence structure = wicked evil mean nasty?

Here is my sentence:

"Well now we know it's all about the sales for ms. nicks."

"Well" would suggest "resignation" on my part

"now" -- as opposed to before

"we" would suggest all of us (meaning: I'm referring to the participants in this thread's parsing of the possibilility of new material)

"know" means that we now have information

"all" that's where it's arguable; she may other considerations in making music, but not in actually releasing it, is my point. thus: all. I stand by it. Even if i'm wrong.

"the" -- maybe the gratuitous use of "the" suggested the phrase "the moolah" or something and that could be read as somehow suggesting greed (rather than calculation), but I think I meant it like "the sales" to mean "the circumstances surrounding sales, i.e., the market"

"sales" the state of the record industry, the circumstances for moving units

"ms. nicks" -- now I see. I didn't capitalize her name! and I called her ms. (because i had forgetten how y'all refer to her as "la" or whatever). Yes: lower-case and ms. = mean evil nasty wicked. You caught me!!!!! Best not make that mistake again. Move over, Roland Barthes. When, in fact, the tone in which it was intended was like Sherlock Holmes with his pipe: as if I had solved a mystery (not that it was all great shakes to solve anyway).

And what is ". " supposed to mean? you didn't explain what the final period meant. hmmm ???? Just kidding, I don't want to stir the pot. (I am so going to get myself into trouble...)

Do some guys still call Stevie "Mama"? Is it capitalized?

Since she had identified herself as a SOTM, I think people should call her Sister. And yes, that should be capitalized.

If you call her Sister, doesn't she have to have a (cocaine) habit?

Idk. Mama Nicks has a nice ring to it.

I am guilty of referring to Stevie as "Mama". For me, it is a term of endearment, admiration, respect, and love. She is the poet that lives in my heart and the Sage that guides my way through troubled waters.

I could never express with words how much she means to me, referring to her as Mama just feels right.

In the 1990's many referred to her as Mac Momma.
