Okay, give up. It's Diablo Cody, who just won an Oscar for writing the screenplay to Juno. On the last page of the current issue of Entertainment Weekly, Diablo Cody has an article called "My Youtube Obsessions", where she talks about things she likes on that website.

Silver Springs live from the Dance tour is one of them. Does anyone have this issue to transcribe?

Actually, this isn't the first time she has shown her appreciation for the performance. This is what she wrote in her blog a few months ago:



I love the Mac, and I especially love their later performances. Major Lindsay/Stevie angst. This one is killer, because "Silver Springs" is about immortalizing a love affair through art. Time casts a spell on people, but great songs and films last forever. Stevie has said that she hoped her songs about Lindsay would ensure that he'd never be able to forget about her. Even today, he probably turns on his car radio and bam-- it's 1976 and they're both dicking each other over in spectacular fashion.

Even if you hate Fleetwood Mac, you have to at least watch the end of this. The way she looks at him when she sings "Never get away..." CHA-HILLS runnin' up my spine, brother!

Glad she likes 'em, but.. "even if you hate Fleetwood Mac" ??? A little backhanded. -_-

I miss Diablo Cody's articles from her City Pages (www.citypages.com) days. You know, after the stripper pole but before she was an oscar winner. Goooood stuff.
