however, would have been nice to break 100k....

'In The Meantime' had sold 19,944 copies by February of this year ('Something Big' had sold 3,000 copies).

I'm not sure what the current tally is.

Here's my post.
Why do you come here, Curtis? To dog Chris? Because you almost always do.
I stay out of stevieland, because I feel it's rude to go to their personal forums, and dog them. So I don't.

Your sig dogs Stevie....so everytime you post...it's a slap in her face.


....and I'm just joking around. :shrug:

[HomerMcvie]

Your sig dogs Stevie....so everytime you post...it's a slap in her face.

It's meant to be a wake up call, to her very egocentric self. To compare yourself with, one who is considered one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century, on public television, is ludicrous, and delusional, IMO. Trust me, the general, non Ledgie public, does NOT consider her one of the great songwriters of all time. If you only knew how many musicians would be laughing their collective asses OFF, at this premise. If you only knew.....:p

[Johnny Stew]

It's meant to be a wake up call, to her very egocentric self.Gosh, I hope she gets to see your sig someday then, Homie.
She certainly does need to learn a bit of humility while she's visiting wounded veterans in hospitals and helping to raise money for various charities.

[jbrownsjr]

I love the chiffon heads coming here... Most of them that appreciate Chris' material have insightful stuff. And once again, who gives a **** if they like Stevie more? Bring it on, cos there's fun for the whole family. Where's my whip?

Blah, blah, blah, Brian. I find it quite odd how you ALWAYS feel the need to rebut any response I make to Curtis. Give it up. If it ain't happened for you by now, you're most likely wasting your time.

And I'll bet she's donating her outrageous ticket prices to charity...

I think the only reason that Curtis said what he said to begin with has more to do with who posted the topic and less to do with Chris...

Some of your comments are just too deliciously ridiculous for me to not reply to. :xoxo:

Sacred cow
n.
One who is immune from criticism, often unreasonably so.

What did I say that was inappropriate? Christine is Fleetwood Mac's "Sacred Cow", no? No one's allowed to say anything bad about her or to dare say they don't like one of her albums, or to admit that they prefer Lindsey or Stevie (especially if they prefer Stevie). It's ok to slag Stevie, but you better not say a word about Christine.

Stevie's fans get all the grief for that behavior, but some of Christine's fans sure aren't immune to it. Just ask anyone who's dared to post a critical opinion on this particular forum.

I like you, Homer, but you do express some pretty cock-eyed views; damning Stevie's fans for their actions, and then engaging in the very same defensive behavior regarding Christine.

We can't expect something of others that we're not ourselves prepared to give. Disrespect begets disrespect.

Well let us get back to the root of the problem.

This was a pretty straight forward thread started for the simple reason of gaining a basic fact. There was nothing inflammatory posted from me, and all Homer did was jump in to defend himself and Chris.

Gee, I guess I do stir up ***** everywhere I go. Even when I don't mean to...

Trust me, the general, non Ledgie public, does NOT consider her one of the great songwriters of all time.

I think quite a large portion of the Ledgie public doesn't consider her one of the great songwriters of all time, either.

The guy just doesn't get slagged, & if you do slag him, if feels like a transgression.

This is true, and I think that's largely due to his various mental health issues over the years. Certainly he's put out a lot of uninspired stuff, but people are loath to criticize because they think, "Well, he's been to hell and back, he still needs some time to recover..."

[Johnny Stew]

I'd have to say then that Peter and Christine are the king & queen sacred cows in FM.

[Johnny Stew]

I think quite a large portion of the Ledgie public doesn't consider her one of the great songwriters of all time, either.I'd have to agree with you. And I think, contrary to popular belief, a large portion of Stevie's own fanbase doesn't necessarily feel that she's the greatest songwriter of all time either, even if she's their preferred songwriter.

All things considered, Stevie's fanbase is probably the most critical overall.
But that doesn't fit into the stereotype that folks like to perpetuate.

All things considered, Stevie's fanbase is probably the most critical overall.
But that doesn't fit into the stereotype that folks like to perpetuate.


The reason Stevie is so much more popular than the other two is this:

1. She was considered a sex symbol. (this has nothing to do with music)
2. People (mostly women) but some men...related to her witchy, hippie Janis Joplin like stage presence. (she was excellent at entertaining the crowds). They ate her up, dressed like her, talked like her, danced liked her, started clubs etc etc

Combine these two elements and you have superstardom.

Now having said that, I think she has written some really good music. Is she the greatest of all time? Hell no.. but either is Christine or LB... And quite honestly, I never thought Bob Dylan was all that fantastic either. He wrote some phenominal songs and some really horrible songs. (funny both Stevie and Bob have irritating voices later on in their careers)

It's all pretty subjective...

Now if you want to talk about the best composers, let's go with Jeff Buckley or someone that does more than I V IV. otherwise it's all just radio hits to me.

[Jyqm]

I'd have to agree with you. And I think, contrary to popular belief, a large portion of Stevie's own fanbase doesn't necessarily feel that she's the greatest songwriter of all time either, even if she's their preferred songwriter.

I think there's also a good contingent of her fanbase (like me and David, for two) who aren't fans of her because we think she's a great songwriter (in any traditional sense, anyway).

All things considered, Stevie's fanbase is probably the most critical overall.
But that doesn't fit into the stereotype that folks like to perpetuate.

It's an interesting dichotomy. Many Stevie fans are at once intensely critical of the songs of hers that they don't like (I don't think you could have a "bizarro survivor" on any of the other forums) but also intensely defensive of the ones they do, and intensely defensive of her personally.

[Jyqm]

And quite honestly, I never thought Bob Dylan was all that fantastic either. He wrote some phenominal songs and some really horrible songs.

I don't think you'll find any Dylan fans who would claim that the man hasn't written some fantastically awful songs. So it goes when you've been writing and recording for over forty years. But there's simply very little that's better than Dylan at his peak(s), and he's released more of those phenomenal songs than most people could if they had two lifetimes to try.

[macfan 57]

But there's simply very little that's better than Dylan at his peak(s), and he's released more of those phenomenal songs than most people could if they had two lifetimes to try.

I agree. Dylan in his prime back in the 1960's was the best songwriter ever, by far. If you listen to his albums during those years, there are so many classics & no bad songs at all, in my opinion. He's the only singer I enjoy listening to whose voice I can't stand. ;) Lennon & McCartney are still my favorite songwriters & Christine is my favorite songwriter in Fleetwood Mac, by far.

By the way, this has turned into a most bizarre thread. And, to think it started with Brandon asking about In The Meantime album sales.:laugh:

Hmmm, if I were doing Beatle/Mac comparisons:

Christine=Paul. Both had the great pop tunes. I could EASILY hear Christine do "Hello, Goodbye."

Lindsey=John. Both had the political/social bent in their music.

Stevie=George. Both had metaphysical themes in their music.

[Johnny Stew]

You sure the folks with the emotional maturity issues aren't the ones who get all flustered at the thought some person on an Internet message board saying something negative about a singer they don't even know?That sounds like textbook bully mentality.
"We'll ridicule you and laugh at you, and if you don't say anything in your defense, that gives us a free ticket to just continue doing it. But if you do say anything about it, we'll then throw it back in your face and make it sound like you're being too sensitive, and therefore deserve to be badgered and bullied."

Personally, I would have thought we all left behind the days of "bullies" picking on the "weak kids" back when we each graduated from high school.
So why don't we try to be considerate and respectful, even when it comes to the feelings of "some person on an internet message board"?

I actually started a thread about this in the Rumours forum once and very few people responded. I started thinking that people just didn't think the Beatles were worth comparing to FM or vice versa.

That sounds like textbook bully mentality.
"We'll ridicule you and laugh at you, and if you don't say anything in your defense, that gives us a free ticket to just continue doing it.

1) This conflation of yourself with Stevie is a little disturbing.

2) That sounds like textbook crybaby mentality. Do you think that bullies continue to pick on people who don't react to them? I very rarely got picked on in grade school because - gasp! - I ignored anybody who did. So the kids who thought they were hot **** very quickly got bored with me. If various chiffonheads didn't get so hot and bothered over any slightly negative comment made about their mystical mistress ("I'm going to write a mean letter to this website because they said Stevie was a jerk!!!!!"), those who make comments just to get a rise out of them very likely would stop doing so.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I actually started a thread about this in the Rumours forum once and very few people responded. I started thinking that people just didn't think the Beatles were worth comparing to FM or vice versa.

I actually like things like that. you should find that thread and bump it up Hill. :nod:

[Johnny Stew]

1) It's apparent that you totally missed my point. I was not commenting on criticisms made towards Stevie, but rather the frequent condescending insults lobbed at Stevie's fans ("chiffonheads," "mindless lemmings," "~*~Wyndchildren~*~," etc.) for being exactly that.... fans.

Some of the stuff said about Stevie would be funny (I do have a sense of humour about her, believe it or not), if it wasn't so often made personal with direct insults to the intelligence and/or emotional stability of her fans... you know, the very real people who post here and who have feelings.
That's when it stops being "fun," and simply becomes immature.

2) Bullies do continue to pick on people who don't react to them. I lived through eight years of harrassment, tauntings and verbal and physical violence in school, and I never once let them see me get upset, or cry, or get angry. In fact, I never let them see me react in any way at all, but that certainly didn't stop their behavior and probably only made it worse, because I didn't stand up for myself.

I'm standing up for others now, and folks can say whatever they want about me... I've been called worse than anything someone here could come up with... but they need to quit making the taunts and insults personal regarding Stevie's fans.
Behind those faceless screennames, they are human beings and deserve to be treated with respect.

It really shouldn't be too much to ask of adults.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

but they need to quit making the taunts and insults personal regarding Stevie's fans.


I understand you have good intentions and that is sweet! And I still do <3 you!

But let us not forget that this thread was started by me in the Christine board. I didn't invite Stevie fans over to come and bash Chris and/or her album sales. This thread was based on an honest question...and was skewed into something ridiculous. So lets not make this all about "the greatness of Stevie". We have every right to defend Chris in the Chris forum, especially when she is being attacked!

[macfan 57]

Hmmm, if I were doing Beatle/Mac comparisons:

Christine=Paul. Both had the great pop tunes. I could EASILY hear Christine do "Hello, Goodbye."

Lindsey=John. Both had the political/social bent in their music.

Stevie=George. Both had metaphysical themes in their music.

I'm not going to get into all this other stuff in this thread. This is the Christine McVie forum afterall. But, I love to talk about a Beatles/Fleetwood Mac connection. I would partially agree with the Chris/Paul comparison, musically at least. But, I'd compare her to George more on a personal basis. They were both classy, private people with very little ego. Both got kind of left in the background by other band members, unfortunately. They also happen to be my two favorite musicians ever. I LOVE, LOVE their music & I greatly respect both of them as people.

I do think there is a comparison between Lindsey & John. I would describe Lindsey as a poor man's John Lennon. But, please, please...there should never be any comparison between George Harrison & Stevie Nicks.:shocked:

[strandinthewind]

Ever get in a argument about the better Beatle? Oh my...also dangerous territory.

No, but I have discussed air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow - both African or European swallows :cool:

But, aw, let us acknowledge the Stevie and George thing, too! :laugh: They both do tackle those spiritual/mystical issues in their music. I can't help but look at that. Okay, you don't have to recognize it. I know you don't really like her and you love him. :o

I just think Lindsey and John are so different that I hate to seriously compare them.

"'Invite Stevie fans.."? This is a public board and anyone who wishes to visit this forum may do so and post their opinions. Yes, you do have the right to defend her. I never come her and bash Chris...I dig her voice and her songs but when I saw this thread on the main page, I decided to check it out to see the sales figures for ITM. (because of the Rumours thread where people are implying that SYW would have done much better with Chris) I probably would visit here more often, to learn more about Christine, if the vibe was more friendly to the fans who also like other band members. (Stevie included) Carry on...

You still miss the point. I started this thread to get a simple question answered and it was hijacked from the first post...It really has less to do with Stevie fans and more to do with a certain someone who always seems to have issues with anything I post. I say black and he says white...

That said, I still find it a little odd that this thread has mostly become about Stevie and her poor fans that shouldn’t be attacked…this was not why I started this damned thread. If I wanted to hear that complaining I would head over to the Stevie forum…

Ohhh…and btw. I actually do like a lot of Stevie’s music believe it or not…

...but if it was Diss or Strand you would have probably laughed, but since it came from me, you have a problem with it? I don't respond to every one of your posts like that...a few here and there....most of the time i'm not even in the discussion. Besides, I would have said it if someone else asked the question. It had nothing to do with you...or with Chris. If someone asked how many copies Street Angel sold...I would have said 4....or something along those lines.

It was a combination who led this thread to what it is now...so no, you aren't the one to blame nor should you be.

But the idea that there are people here who are so sensitive as to be personally upset and hurt when someone uses the term "chiffonhead" is just ridiculous. It's nice that you'd both like to defend the poor and weak, but if such people exist, they need to grow up.

Yea, I guess it is. We all have our obsessions.

(because of the Rumours thread where people are implying that SYW would have done much better with Chris)

I've read that entire thread, but I don't recall anyone saying the album would have sold much better if Chris had been on it. Just that it might have been a better album.

[GateandGarden]

I probably would visit here more often, to learn more about Christine, if the vibe was more friendly to the fans who also like other band members. (Stevie included) Carry on...This is a good point. This place can be very off-putting in that respect, despite the obvious advantage to it because it's usually void of the drama and general nastiness that is rampant in other forums and causes me so much stress. (Well, recently there's been more of that here...but I won't go into that). BUT I don't think that people realize how much they repel other fans who happen to genuinely like more than one member of the band. Sometimes I think some people (that's as vague as it gets, folks!) prefer to ward off those other fans, but I doubt it's actually a conscious effort.

but they need to quit making the taunts and insults personal regarding Stevie's fans.I can't do that, try as I might. But what I try to do is attack mass movements within the various contingents -- I generalize, I practice induction: I observe, say, twenty-two instances of a particular behavior, & then draw a general conclusion that there must be hundreds or even thousands of others who have that same behavior.

All of that, instead of insulting specific individuals here, which is against the FAQ, after all. I'm all for insulting groups over certain characteristics (but not other characteristics). But I leave individuals alone, for the most part.

The point that people should be respectful of each other is always as good one. But the idea that there are people here who are so sensitive as to be personally upset and hurt when someone uses the term "chiffonhead" is just ridiculous. It's nice that you'd both like to defend the poor and weak, but if such people exist, they need to grow up.It's not just the "chiffonhead" thing, Jyqm. It's all of the ridiculing and belittling. Crack wise all you want, but people shouldn't have to be told to "grow up" and get over being mistreated. Even on a message board.
The Ledge is supposed to be a place where everyone can feel welcomed, and referring to fellow fans as "mindless lemmings" and the "lowest common denominator" is disrespectful.

But I've said all I can say on this subject. It just goes in one ear and out the other, because no one is interested in actually being respectful or considerate. There's just too much glee to be had from making fun of people we feel are beneath us.

[Jyqm]

But I've said all I can say on this subject. It just goes in one ear and out the other, because no one is interested in actually being respectful or considerate. There's just too much glee to be had from making fun of people we feel are beneath us.

Where exactly was I belittling and mistreating people or claiming they were beneath me again?

[Johnny Stew]

Where exactly was I belittling and mistreating people or claiming they were beneath me again?They were general statements, Jim... I don't recall ever saying that you're guilty of it.

[HomerMcvie]

Well that's a rather stupid comment.
Followed by a rather rude comment. Surprise, surprise!:rolleyes:

[HomerMcvie]

Don't speak up just to roll your eyes at me, you don't get the priviledge if you're a resident arsehole. I said the comment was stupid, not her. Anything to say on the topic? Any opinion on the comment regarding Lennon or would you just like to continue judging me?
I'm fairly certain the jury has already delivered a verdict.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'm fairly certain the jury has already delivered a verdict.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:An invalid, ignorant jury. Sorry, this is not a comment about you at all Homie but, as Lux said earlier, a comment referencing a comment. I can't not defend a friend and let her be dismissed so thoroughly like that. I love her dearly.

I don't appreciate her calling Macfan's comments stupid. She's my friend, and I proudly stand up for her.

And what has happened to Chris' lovely forum, of late?

[GateandGarden]

I don't appreciate her calling Macfan's comments stupid. She's my friend, and I proudly stand up for her.

And what has happened to Chris' lovely forum, of late?You know that I love Mary Anne too. I think she knows that I do. But Lux really didn't mean to insult her as a person. I don't agree with the original comment either; I don't think it's fair to Lindsey but that has nothing to do with how I feel about Mary Anne.

It's awkward for me...when people I care about start not merely being critical but just really insulting. I think Lux was just being critical, and that is something I expect on this board.

Generally speaking, I'm really enjoying the lovely Chris forum right now. Sometimes just a smidgen of drama here and there doesn't hurt anything. David pulled out the whip, right? :D

I agree. This thread has been particularly entertaining on many levels. For the most part CM's forum here is pretty square and somewhat dull and straight to the point.

But nice to see a lot of action here recently with posts that are funny, quirky, loving, hateful and just plain amusing. I don't take any of this to heart, but still get a great deal of enjoyment reading all this.

[jbrownsjr]

I love Lux, curtis, johnny stew and anyone else that isn't a Chris homie posting here. I also love humor and disagreements. It's what the board is for. If I were a Nazi then maybe we would all have to think and dress the same, but since i'm not... post on peeps....:rolleyes:

wow i never planned that you guys would call me on it!! haha
i could probably handle this an octave lower

[David]

:distress: :distress: :distress: Then I'm gettin' my whip, and going after his ass!I wasn't trying to whip up distress & "drama." I wanted to whip up some activity in the sense of ... you know, POSTS.
I loathe drama, which is why Chris' forum USED to be great!The only time this forum was ever great was when you guys posted kicky pictures of Christine throughout her career. The conversation/verbal exchange here has always been on the ... er ... vapid side.

You guys proclaim your distinction from the Stevie forum by ... having polls on favorite songs!! I mean, D'UH!! That doesn't make any sense. You might as well just go to that forum, swap out the name "Stevie" for "Christine," port those posts over here, & you essentially have the same content! No, Dave ... sterner measures are called for ....

If you want to break out of that Stevie self-perpetuating circularity -- & who could blame you? -- you need to be subtle where Stevie fans are overt, sophisticated where Stevie fans are naive, mature where Stevie fans are sophomoric, insightful where Stevie fans are obtuse, wry & waggish where Stevie fans are mundane & literal-minded, pioneers where Stevie fans are hidebound landlubbers, & pragmatists where Stevie fans are dreamers.

I've given you the blueprint for a super-duper forum here. Now it's up to you!

[David]

Well that's a rather stupid comment.I thought it made a lot of sense: Stevie isn't anything like George Harrison!!

And she sure as hell isn't anything like George Martin.

[cliffdweller]

It's all the same.

"baby all the same, all the same, Rhiannon"... sorry, I couldn't resist :p.

Oh yeah, edit: I wish Chris was still with Fleetwood Mac. There. I said it. And I'm a :gasp: Stevie fan! In fact, I feel a bit cheated that I may never see the Mac with Chris. God I hope they do a tour with her before they officially disband (whenever that may be) but I'm afraid that's only a pipe dream.

[dissention]

And what has happened to Chris' lovely forum, of late?

One of you arseholes on this board stole the kishka, that's what. Give it back and all of this will end, I promise you that.

[dissention]

If I were a Nazi then maybe we would all have to think and dress the same, but since i'm not... post on peeps....:rolleyes:

Ah, yes. We'd all have to wear Stevie's granny flak jackets and think about velvet fountains & wild roses & gypsy sisters & the pros and cons of Reeblechs vs. boots.

[GateandGarden]

ReeblechsThat word kicks ass.

You need to go add another song to that Stevie song generator thread. I tried to write one but it just wasn't working. I came up with a line like "Ooh baby you have a song like a prisoner queen," but it went downhill quickly.

[dissention]

the pros and cons of Reeblechs vs. boots.
You say that as if you don't realize it's one of the most important issues of our time.:shrug:

[dissention]

No, the real issue is whether Stevie gets corns and treats them with Dr. Scholls. Silly. :rolleyes:

Only with the boots. And so the debate comes full circle -> boots or blechs?

Why thank you, Homer. What a sweet thing to say.:xoxo:

This is one very weird thread.;) :laugh:

Big thanks to the first 3 posts. It set the tone perfectly to what transpired. This couldn't have been any more brilliant.

This whole thread would get my vote for "Ledge: Best Of."

What the hell's a kishka? If I've got it, you can have it back!

Jeez, with all the **** being thrown around, I'm left to ponder if is this thread in need of one big laxative?

[Johnny Stew]

I've given you the blueprint for a super-duper forum here. Now it's up to you!With all due respect, no forum will ever be as stimulating as the Stevie Forum, in my opinion... we've got it all: love, hate, shrewdness, vapidity, vim & verve, praise, criticism, camaraderie, vehement arguments, and a heaping helping of personality.

I think it's the most well-rounded of the band member forums here on the Ledge, and I'm surprised that you, of all people, don't recognize that, David. :shrug:

[Johnny Stew]

Yeah, but they don't have the dry sarcasm. They're too serious for my tastes.Have you missed out on all the posts by dissention, sparky and Amber (to name but a few)?!?

[Johnny Stew]

Oh I agree. All those "lol"s and out of control smilies. They need to take a chill pill. It's only a game. No need to get vicious, chiffon heads.Well, now, which is it? Are we naive dreamers or are we vicious guard dogs?

Ooh, maybe we're both! Guard dogs dressed in drippy chiffon are quite a sight!

:xoxo: :o :eek: :blob2: :] :blob1: :) :nod: :woohoo: :cool:

[SteveMacD]

But diss and Amber are that way on pretty much EVERY board on the Ledge. I'm talking more about the folks who post almost exclusively on the Stevie board.

[SteveMacD]

Well, now, which is it? Are we naive dreamers or are we vicious guard dogs?
What, vicious guard dogs can't have naive dreams? Just think, they could dream about killing a bunch of guys with guns. That's both naive AND vicious. Man, I need to get a life.

[Johnny Stew]

But diss and Amber are that way on pretty much EVERY board on the Ledge. I'm talking more about the folks who post almost exclusively on the Stevie board.They're all ingredients in the Stevie Soup, Steve!

I can't leave you guys alone for five minutes, can I?!

Beats me. I went away too, and saw 14 pages of **** being thrown about. I bet I could guess as to what happened. In any event, I'm lead to believe that a few posters here really need to add more fiber to their diets.

I'm safe then. I do the Bran Flakes thing for breakfast. *snicker*

All I can get out of this, is that someone made a joke, and it got bent waaaaay out of proportion, and now we're playing the name game.
In any case, I'll never understand this extreme loyalty thing. If you're a fan of anyone, you can't make little comments about them? I poke fun at Stevie and Chris all the time. Or, there's some choice to be made: Be a fan of one or the other.

??

it's really not a big deal to me. I don't have a duty to these people, nor do they have one to me.

[GateandGarden]

I do think there is a comparison between Christine and Paul McCartney. I think Christine is a poor man's Paul McCartney. She would therefore obviously be appreciated by those whose tastes could only appreciate poor man's quality. It goes without saying that Lindsey and Stevie are above any kind of comparison (they are their own entities) but I think you'll have to agree with my first observation there.

Incidently, do not disagree with me here. It is outride rude to disagree with my comments. I will roll my eyes at you. As Christine fans, you should know well that you appreciate a poor man's version and this is no cause for comment or rebuttal, to do so would be way out of line.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I still hope you're being facetious with that first part though. :cool:

Haven't you ever been to a deli, Homer? Do they even have any delis in Indiana?
