Stevie and Landslide
I thought of y'all today. I was in gym today and Landslide came on the radio. I overheard the people next to me saying that she wrote that song when she divorced her husband. I then went into a five minute explanation of the band. Does this happen often to people like us?

The biggest pet peeve OF MY LIFE:
"Oh, that Landslide song? Did Fleetwood Mac cover it?" akldfhjaklhkljdahklaklhakla! I will forever hold a grudge against the Dixie Chicks for that reason alone. |

I don't bother correcting people anymore. In fact I'll agree with them now when they say she's a witch. Vruja!!! Basicly IDGAF.

Or, "This song was inspired by Stevie's summer with the Reagans in 1980."

Most people I know don't even care about the stories behind the songs, so it's a total moot point....

I find it rather funny when people attempt a deep analysis of every word and stanza of her lyrics, as if to uncover some elaborate story. I consider her writing more impressionistic than literate. She has a very distinct talent in a limited capacity, but she's not as high-minded and sophisticated as some would like to think she is. However she has her "thing," and she's done very well with it. It's just my take.

I take stock in some of the stories - but but you're absolutely right that she talks process and not inspiration. And yes, the memory may all but be gone - sometimes I suspect that Norma Desmond and Stevie are close cousins. In any case - no, not high-minded and sophisticated ALL the time, but I'd say more often than not. The analysis' of all the bits and pieces of the songs may not reveal a story, but it does create narratives that chronicle the goings on in her life. Sara would be the example I'd cite. Lots of small pieces that create a larger picture, fragmented, maybe. Some of her solo work, which were the only albums we ever found filler material on, could be used as examples of her just doing "her thing". Hope that makes sense, I'm getting ripped. |

Great post-- I love looking more closely at how she writes, especially since I'm a writer myself. |

Sometimes I think Stevie does the exact same thing whenever she's asked a question about anything...I'd get so tired of that I'd start making things up too just to amuse myself

When i first heard Stevie sing it i was shocked because i thought that the Dixie Chicks wrote it. Btw one day i was in the PX our "mall" on base and Leather and Lace came on.
