I used to have the coolest "Sometimes Its a Bitch" promo poster. In 1991 there was a poster company that came to my college selling posters. I nearly fell over when I saw this JUMBO, OVERSIZED, HUGE: "Sometimes Its a Bitch: New Single, out now" Giant picture of Stevie too. It was so large that it took up the entire wall in my college dorm. Years later I hung it over my waterbed as my accent piece

I remember at the time Stevie mentioned in a interview that her Mom was not happy with the song because of the use of the word BITCH.

Stevie also edited out a scene in her documentary of In Your Dreams where she said the f word because she didn't want that part of her image or to role model that behavior or some such. I mean, really?

What about the horrific, Desert Angel? Did someone force her to put that terrible song on the album? Please, Bon Jovi was hot at the time and she tried to capitalize on it. Her vocal was awful. Loves A Hard Game to Play reaked too. Nightbird and After The Glitter Fades were true hits and belonged in that album.

I've always thought this song would be great too but stripped down - just her and a piano. It would be a great way to showcase her vocal power - just ripping into the chorus and easing back on the verses.

She probably feels that it's lazy songwriting to swear in songs when you could use other words to convey your message. "Bitch" sounds especially crude and bitter, as a derogatory word for a female, coming from a writer as mystical and poetic as Stevie.

You know the Seinfeld writers and producers would always talk about the creative ways they used to get around NBC censors. They couldn't say masturbation, so they suggestively said "Master of his domain" and that actually was funnier and cleverer. When Larry David got a show on cable and he could say anything he wanted, I loved Curb, because I'm tuned in to Larry, but I actually think the show was a lot less funny than Seinfeld, because it was explicit and profane, for profanity's sake. I mean the profanity became the humor and .... that's not good writing. That's double the case for lyrics. Stevie wasn't into creating the furor that having her say that word in a song would cause, just for the sake of it. Michele |

Moreover, the audacity of comparing herself sitting in a luxurious house in Paradise Valley, Arizona to the plight of soldiers fighting in a foreign third world desert is laughable ("I know how it feels there"). For a true "best of" compilation up to 1991, why didn't those so called "sensible label execs" talk her into tossing "Desert Angel" out of the Army tank in favor of solid singles like "After The Glitter Fades" and "Nightbird"? The latter compositions represent some of Stevie's finest recorded moments. |

While I agree with you. Saying Bitch is less lazy than - "ooh eee" listen to me - imho.

If you deleted "Sometimes It's A Bitch", "Love's A Hard Game To Play" and "Whole Lotta Trouble" from Timespace and then included the likes of "After The Glitter Fades", "Nightbird", "Whenever I Call You Friend", "Gold" and "Insider", you would have a pretty decent representation of her work up until that point. |

Some of you are taking the word "bitch" out of context. The song is not calling anyone a bitch (noun). Its describing a difficult situation or heavy lift in life. Remember the sayings: Life is a beach; Life is a bitch. Bitch is used as an adjective in the song. In addition the word "Bitch" goes with the word "Breeze". IMHO, its a great line in the song. Each "b" word has the opposite meaning in extreme examples. I don't see it as lazy. Its creative.
I love the song "love is a hard game to play." I thought she sung that song from the heart. These songs are millions of times better than the other cheezy songs she has sung written by other people. Songs like Everyday, Cry Wolf, Blue Eyes, Talk To Me etc.
