:blob2: Woo hoo!!!! :woohoo:

Now I feel left out. I haven't had one in a long time. It's not fair. :(

[irishgrl]

are you SERIOUS? you did?
and you did THAT?

you know, you're a better man than I am Gunga Din....even tho Jesus said to "turn the other cheek" and that "a soft answer turneth away wrath", I dont know many people that can actually do it. So, my hat's off to ya! Good for you!

btw: the "Gunga Din" reference is from a poem (Gunga Din) by
Rudyard Kipling


YOU may talk o' gin an' beer
When you're quartered safe out 'ere,
An' you're sent to penny-fights an' Aldershot it;
But if it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water, 5
An' you'll lick the bloomin' boots of 'im that's got it.
Now in Injia's sunny clime,
Where I used to spend my time
A-servin' of 'Er Majesty the Queen,
Of all them black-faced crew 10
The finest man I knew
Was our regimental bhisti, Gunga Din.

It was "Din! Din! Din!
You limping lump o' brick-dust, Gunga Din!
Hi! slippy hitherao! 15
Water, get it! Panee lao!
You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga Din!"

The uniform 'e wore
Was nothin' much before,
An' rather less than 'arf o' that be'ind, 20
For a twisty piece o' rag
An' a goatskin water-bag
Was all the field-equipment 'e could find.
When the sweatin' troop-train lay
In a sidin' through the day, 25
Where the 'eat would make your bloomin' eyebrows crawl,
We shouted "Harry By!"
Till our throats were bricky-dry,
Then we wopped 'im 'cause 'e couldn't serve us all.

It was "Din! Din! Din! 30
You 'eathen, where the mischief 'ave you been?
You put some juldee in it,
Or I'll marrow you this minute,
If you don't fill up my helmet, Gunga Din!"

'E would dot an' carry one 35
Till the longest day was done,
An' 'e didn't seem to know the use o' fear.
If we charged or broke or cut,
You could bet your bloomin' nut,
'E'd be waitin' fifty paces right flank rear. 40
With 'is mussick on 'is back,
'E would skip with our attack,
An' watch us till the bugles made "Retire."
An' for all 'is dirty 'ide,
'E was white, clear white, inside 45
When 'e went to tend the wounded under fire!

It was "Din! Din! Din!"
With the bullets kickin' dust-spots on the green.
When the cartridges ran out,
You could 'ear the front-files shout: 50
"Hi! ammunition-mules an' Gunga Din!"

I sha'n't forgit the night
When I dropped be'ind the fight
With a bullet where my belt-plate should 'a' been.
I was chokin' mad with thirst, 55
An' the man that spied me first
Was our good old grinnin', gruntin' Gunga Din.

'E lifted up my 'ead,
An' 'e plugged me where I bled,
An' 'e guv me 'arf-a-pint o' water—green; 60
It was crawlin' an' it stunk,
But of all the drinks I've drunk,
I'm gratefullest to one from Gunga Din.

It was "Din! Din! Din!
'Ere's a beggar with a bullet through 'is spleen; 65
'E's chawin' up the ground an' 'e's kickin' all around:
For Gawd's sake, git the water, Gunga Din!"

'E carried me away
To where a dooli lay,
An' a bullet come an' drilled the beggar clean. 70
'E put me safe inside,
An' just before 'e died:
"I 'ope you liked your drink," sez Gunga Din.
So I'll meet 'im later on
In the place where 'e is gone— 75
Where it's always double drill and no canteen;
'E'll be squattin' on the coals
Givin' drink to pore damned souls,
An' I'll get a swig in Hell from Gunga Din!

Din! Din! Din! 80
You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!
Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

Just a troll trying to stir up trouble I guess. I am a pit boss on the Las vegas strip. Trust me, I have seen it all, and a little message about hating my fluff photos isn't going to get me flustered. :nod:

Well, if they don't like fluff pics, I must not have found the right photo yet. I guess I will just have to keep going until I find the right one. *sigh* :laugh:

[Miss Vicky]

I like your fluff. Fluffy kitties, fluffy penguins, fluffy puppies, etc.

They lighten things up a bit around here. A nice antidote to ****-stirrers like me. :laugh:

Though I've been stirring more vigorously over at Seven Wonders as of late.

Oh nothing really. Dissention and I were just having a little fun with the Stevie fans, sort of a re-enactment of the "Mack Truck Ass" conversation he and I had when I first arrived here. Unfortunately though, only one chiffonhead took the bait, but it was still a lot of laughs.

EC? I haven't even looked at it today. It's a holiday. I'm taking the day off!

[WelshWitchPMD]

I am sorry that you received a nasty PM. All because of your photos?:confused:

Unfortunately though, only one chiffonhead took the bait, but it was still a lot of laughs.I still haven't figured out why a fellow got run off from here a couple of years ago for saying disparaging things about Christine's looks (no doubt only to get the dander of her fans), yet it's always open season on Stevie in the hopes of riling her fans.

I guess the part I don't get is why we can't just respect each other's differences and leave well enough alone.
In fact, it's in our guidelines here....
In general, the main "rule" for posting on The Ledge is the Golden rule--"do unto others..." An attitude of respect toward each other and the members of Fleetwood Mac should be maintained always. and You are encouraged to be tolerant of differences in the ways that people express themselves.

It was all being said in jest, and quite obviously so. :shrug:

Actually it was done more so just to amuse ourselves than to ruffle feathers, especially this second time, since the subject of the thread was the Time album, something not likely to attract too many chiffonheads anyway. It was also mostly going on in the wee hours of the morning when hardly anyone was online anyway.

I've never understood why people take remarks that are made about celebrities - whom they do not personally know and likely never will and whom will likely never read the comments anyway (or care about them if they did) - as if they were attacks on themselves.

We all like what we like, and when someone is disparaging what we like, many folks get defensive to one degree or another.

I also think that, of all areas where one could poke fun at a celebrity, making comments about their weight is ALWAYS going to be something that engenders hurt feelings. A great many of us are not our ideal weight, and are probably self-conscious about it to some degree, so to see a celebrity whom we like and/or identify with, being ridiculed for their weight, it gets the ol' defenses up.

Again, it's just a respect thing.

And not to press the matter, because I really do like you and don't want to give the impression otherwise... but I think your "short and stout" sig pic could possibly be viewed as a dig at her weight. Given that "stout" is a synonym for "fat."

but you're juxtaposing it with a picture of Stevie. Johnny Stew is right, there's a pattern there, and its not very complimentary toward Stevie.

But it's not just any picture of Stevie. It's a picture of her doing those stupid "Say You Will" hand gestures which I have dubbed (and referred to in more than one post) the "Teapot dance" because it reminds me of the moves that go along with the children's song "I'm a Little Teapot."

"I'm little teapot, short and stout,
Here is my handle, here is my spout,
When I get all steamed up hear me shout,
Tip me over and pour me out."

[Johnny Stew]

Yes. In my opinion, her rear end has always been large no matter what the size of the rest of her body.I've never noticed that... but then I don't typically look at women's backsides! :shocked: :laugh:

On the other hand, those are the lyrics to the song. :shrug:I'm sure, though, that you can understand why one might think that you were going for a different meaning there. I mean, you've made it known that you're not too fond of Ms. Nicks, so it's not exactly like you to have a photo of her in your signature as an expression of fandom.

[wondergirl9847]

When ya'll were talking about getting defensive about our favorite singers/actors/whatever....I tend to think that people who were picked on/bullied/made fun of in school as kids tend to stick up for their faves in a more defensive manner. I was one of those kids that got made fun of for liking certain singers and groups. It gets frustrating when, as adults, it just continues with an even more hateful tone. As a Justin fan, it's very difficult since he's mercilessly been bashed not only on the web but in my life too. :( I always want to say "But, adults will be nice about it." and I just get hurt and disappointed all over again.

Anyways, just wanted to say that.

Now, post more cute fluffy pics!!!! :thumbsup:

[Miss Vicky]

I tend to think that people who were picked on/bullied/made fun of in school as kids tend to stick up for their faves in a more defensive manner.

Not to belittle your post or anything, but I've yet to meet anyone who wasn't picked on/bullied/made fun of for one reason or another when they were children.

I sure as hell was. You name it, I was teased/tormented for it from elementary school all the way through high school and into college.

[foxyluva]

But you also said that you were "having a little fun" with the Stevie fans, and that "unfortunately" only one took the bait.

I don't really think you could take what was said as offensive. It was a convo between Vicki, Dissention & myself that happened to form on the 'Time Album' thread - There were some snarky remarks made - and I have to admit, I made a few myself :laugh: Nothing awful though...

For example, HomerMcVie could get away with poking a little fun at Christine, and I highly doubt a soul would take offense. But if, say, Tommer did it, I'm sure it would be taken very differently.

I make little jokes about Stevie from time to time, and I haven't once had anyone complain to me... but I did ruffle feathers when I referred to Christine as "Fleetwood Mac's Sacred Cow," and I wasn't even meaning it in a derogatory way!

People are just too damned sensitive over trivial things.

Earlier in the same thread where Josh and I were having our fun, Foxyluva called my precious Time "a skid mark on the undies that is Fleetwood Mac." Rather than getting offended, I just chalked it up to bad taste, uttered a few curse words under my breath (but did not type a reply), and moved on. :shrug:

[Johnny Stew]

People are just too damned sensitive over trivial things.Oh, I definitely don't disagree with you (and I sometimes find myself very embarrassed by the violent way in which some Stevie fans respond to any criticism of her), but I think that's when we have to exercise a little self-restraint and try to respect that their sensitivities are different from our own.

I've actually experienced much more violent reactions to even the slightest criticism of Christine than of Stevie.

Its most obvious one being that it contains music by Billy Burnette. :wavey:

The main problem I have with 'Time" is the replacement of Stevie - Bekka was a poor, poor choice. Stevie is really irreplaceable :nod: And I would have had the same problem with time if it was Christine who was replaced by Bekka, and Stevie stayed in the band.

Those two ladies cannot be replaced :sorry:

[Miss Vicky]

The main problem I have with 'Time" is the replacement of Stevie - Bekka was a poor, poor choice.

Bekka may sound nothing like Stevie, but I don't think it's fair to call her a "poor choice." She has an amazing singing voice and was already a member of Mick's Zoo (and BTW, I don't think Time sounds anything like The Zoo). I believe she was also romantically involved with Billy at the time (and they've been friends since they were very young), so I think all of that made her an obvious and <i>great</i> choice for the band.

[seeker007nmss]

Wonder Fluff Photos everyone! Keep them coming!:nod:

[cliffdweller]

Yes. In my opinion, her rear end has always been large no matter what the size of the rest of her body.

:laugh: you're not serious are you? She used to be REALLY petite, and I mean, all of her. Hmmm, maybe I need to pay closer attention to Stevie's behind to make a fair "ass"essment.

[Miss Vicky]

:laugh: you're not serious are you?

You don't seriously think that I'm kidding, do you?

[jannieC]

I've never received a mean PM. But then again, I really don't get ANY PMs so, whatever.

As far as making fun of Stevie's weight...I think it's in really poor taste. It aways makes me think of that interview where she said she would never go back onstage at that weight- that always makes me so sad! Because she's so much more than how much she weighs, to me. And if someone admittedly doesn't even really care for Stevie, I don't see the point of coming into a Stevie *FAN* forum and making derogatory statements about her.

That being said, I really couldn't give a **** about who wants to make fun of her. I don't get it, but I certainly wouldn't lose sleep over it.

[Jyqm]

Bekka may sound nothing like Stevie, but I don't think it's fair to call her a "poor choice."

I don't think it's fair to call her a Stevie "replacement"! Beyond the fact that she's another pretty blonde, what's the similarity?

In fact, almost none of the non-original members of Fleetwood Mac are "replacements," with the possible exceptions of Billy and Rick, who were arguably brought on board for the Tango tour simply to fill the Lindsey gap (though obviously they got to expand their roles later on). Other than that, though many band members have left and others have joined, it's never been a matter of simple replacement. It was always more of a mutation, a changing of the band into a largely different entity. Bekka didn't "replace" Stevie anymore than Bob Welch and Christine "replaced" Peter and Jeremy.

Though I've been stirring more vigorously over at Seven Wonders as of late.The Seven Dunders board I call it. They've been getting some interesting threads over there lately, outpacing us here.

[David]

I myself cant see that Stevie's rear end was large when she was thinner, I thought she was well proportioned :shrug:Youre absolutely right: she was superbly proportioned & one of the most popular sex symbols in the country.

She had a great run. :thumbsup:

[Richard B]

Youre absolutely right: she was superbly proportioned & one of the most popular sex symbols in the country.

She had a great everything. That was just one aspect of her many appeals. Was she ever a joy to watch.
Blame it on my wild heart.

[HomerMcvie]

The Seven Dunders board I call it. They've been getting some interesting threads over there lately, outpacing us here.
And that disturbs me to no end. Dammit, THIS is the FM home, PERIOD.


I also find all that blue, hard on my eyes. The color layout here is very eye pleasing.:angel:

[HomerMcvie]

Youre absolutely right: she was superbly proportioned & one of the most popular sex symbols in the country.

She had a great run. :thumbsup:
And THAT'S the problem when you're a sex symbol. Eventually, age catches up with you. Then you're endlessly compared to that former sex symbol. And even Stevie finally realized that. Going on stage at 300 lbs was no longer an option.

[David]

I don't think it's fair to call her a Stevie "replacement"! Beyond the fact that she's another pretty blonde, what's the similarity?Aesthetically, the two have practically nothing in common: not looks, not performing style, not vocal style, not songwriting style, not personality, not musical heritage.
In fact, almost none of the non-original members of Fleetwood Mac are "replacements," with the possible exceptions of Billy and Rick, who were arguably brought on board for the Tango tour simply to fill the Lindsey gap (though obviously they got to expand their roles later on).I'd even argue with that, hoping not to split hairs. Billy was hired as far as I know just because he was everybody's friend & fellow musician & it just seemed like a good idea to ask your friend to join, especially given that your friend could sing & write songs & play guitar. I know MacDouginator actually believes that Billy was hired specifically to look like Lindsey, but that's beyond belief to me.

as for Rick: not to replace Lindsey per se but to fill the lead guitarist role, which was empty at the time. Every band needs a lead guitarist, & Billy wasn't one. So either Rick needed to be hired or another lead guitarist needed to be hired--somebody had to be brought in to play lead guitar. I think if the desire to replace Lindsey specifically were really operating at the time, they'd have found someone who had that sort of idiosyncratic, really off-the-wall edge (& preoccupation with sonic envelope-pushing) as well as someone who had a strong bent for production & engineering, neither of which describes Rick ... or Billy.

[Richard B]

300 pounds is not a healthy option for anyone, no matter who you are. Especially on a 5'1 frame.

I tell you what. When Tango first fired up on the stage, I coulda swore that Lindsey was back!!!! Yeah, I didn't have very good seats for Tango, but from my ****ty seats, it sure LOOKED, and even sounded like Lindsey. It took me a few songs to make sure that it wasn't.
Even if it wasn't a major factor in Billy's hiring, it sure didn't HURT anything that he bore a strong resemblance.

[chiliD]

Rick fits your first premise, as well...he & Billy were in the midst of working on a project together when Mick called Billy to ask him to join FMac. So, being friends, Billy suggested they recruit Rick, too.

I'm thinking Stevie didn't quite make it to the 300 lb mark- please. :shrug:

[DrummerDeanna]

I'm thinking Stevie didn't quite make it to the 300 lb mark- please. :shrug:


:laugh: No, Stevie was NEVER 300 pounds. Give me a break. At most she was 180 or so. And that is plenty big for a 5'1'' frame ( I know because I'm that height).

And if all the Stevie or anyone bashing is for "your own amusement" then why not do it via private message? It's blatantly obvious to me that generally y'all are TRYING to rile Stevie fans..and that is just cruel and you tell THEM to get a life for taking it personally...yet y'all have all this time to make fun of and bash her? Sounds like you could use a life as well.

Well, no, they obviously didn't want somebody to replace those aspects of Lindsey. You could almost hear the collective sigh of, "Thank god! Now we can really go MOR!"

[markolas]

I've never gotten a nasty PM. People insult me right out in the open.:laugh:

[Richard B]

I don't think anyone is bashing Stevie.

As for me, I adore her anyway. Just sing, I say, just sing it to me. I've gone to every tour (since I was old enough), so it doesn't bother me in the least what size she is. I found her über sexy on TOSOTM tour and Behind The Mask (first leg). But you know, it's different. She's not as young and spirited anymore, so I don't expect her to jump off the stage (US Festival) or shake it on Golden and Braid or exorcise demons (Mirage Tour) much anymore. She's got that slow, graceful flow now.

[Jyqm]

I was just quoting Homer.

Me too! "Rosy-fingered dawn" and "wine-colored sea" and all that.

[cliffdweller]

You don't seriously think that I'm kidding, do you?


Seriously?? I guess not. But only if we're being completely serious. :laugh:

Anyway, I think Stevie is nicely voluptuous these days. She used to be too skinny, now she has a nice earth mother look (and feel I've heard!) to her. I think she's still a beauty. I hope I look that hot when I'm pushing 60 :thumbsup:.

[BTFLCHLD]

People insult me right out in the open.:laugh: not always :p

[madformac]

I think most straight boys like a gal with a big booty. More cushion for the pushin', so I've heard. :laugh:

Very true..

Never been a fan of a narrow ass... I don't know why really. Subconsciously I suppose I like a bit of shape around that area. Don't get me wrong, I don't like a baboon ass :laugh: But a few curves in the right places are very cool I think. :thumbsup:

[markolas]

not always :p

Don't make me have to drop another F bomb, now. :laugh:

[wondergirl9847]

"I like big butts and I cannot lie...you othah bruthas can't deny..."

[David]

I don't think anyone is bashing Stevie.I don't bash, either. I criticize. Bashing is an expression of anger & violence. Criticism is the reasoned & reasonable elucidation of perspective. I must talk about every aspect of the performance in front of me: what it sounds like, what it looks like, how it achieves or doesn't achieve its ends, &c. What happens on stage or screen is, to me, a complete aesthetic experience, & that experience includes everything related to the performer, including his or her looks, demeanor & style.

I sometimes try to make my point about the completeness of the aesthetic experience clear by being forceful & not mincing words, but my point is misunderstood & rejected as often as it is understood & accepted -- or understood & rejected.

But there is simply no possible way I would ever discuss a Fleetwood Mac concert without discussing -- or at least forming an opinion about -- the looks of the performers that night.

[Johnny Stew]

Rick fits your first premise, as well...he & Billy were in the midst of working on a project together when Mick called Billy to ask him to join FMac. So, being friends, Billy suggested they recruit Rick, too.Plus, didn't Mick once say that even before Lindsey left the band they were seriously considering hiring a second guitarist because L.B. wanted to more closely recreate the sound of the studio tracks?

I think it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that there was going to be two guitarists up on that stage for that tour, one way or another.

The problem here is that Stevie is percieved as having to be slim.

She used to be very petite and I don't think people can see her any other way. Certainly when she is part of a group where all the others are very slim (ok, so John's put a few lbs on but still) it's seen as an issue. 3 slim guys and a chubby singer you know? In an industry of anorexic chicks it's not seen as good. I think also the fact it's pop/soft rock she sings doesn't help. Hell if Stevie did Motown nobody would bat an eyelid. Look at Aretha, she used to be slim too, now she's the size of a bus with a chest like a mountain range. :] :lol: I don't see anybody complaining about her. :nod:

Not to split hairs (although it's a worthwhile distinction to make), but Aretha was an Atlantic gal all the way.

Personally, I'd never "complain" about either of their weight classes, but I do hope that Aretha is being careful about her health given her current size. Although black women in general seem to handle that kind of weight better than most other women. Still, at her age, it's never good to be that heavy.

I worship her talent and her voice is stunning. However, her taste sucks.

When I saw a video of her accepting induction to the UK RNR Hall Of Fame back in November I thought she was going to need 3 awards... :shocked: My jaw fell almost as low as her boobs.

Her cleavage is HUGE. You could make it a US tourist attraction and take coach loads there.. Makes the Grand Canyon look like a small ripple..

[Miss Vicky]

yet y'all have all this time to make fun of and bash her? Sounds like you could use a life as well.

The specific incident of "bashing" that is being referred to happened at about 1:00 a.m. Pacific time on the Seven Wonders board, when there was hardly anyone online anyways.

I don't have "all this time," but rather a little thing called insomnia. :wavey:
