Ever heard of Marianne Faithful? Joni Mitchell? Guess not. Stevie has changed 1/10 of the percentage that those female vocalists changed. Additionally I don't think your "stevie-hatin'" :laugh: is in line with the masses. Do you? Really?

Generally speaking, I'm not that into "chick rock" FM is the exception for me...

For the record, I don't hate her, although I'm not fond of how she's turned out.
I think I probably DO represent the masses. Thanks for playing along. :xoxo: :sorry: :lol:

VERY quickly, and then off to bed! :)

My tastes have never represented the tastes of the masses, nor have I cared for them to.
I listen to what I enjoy, whether I'm the one and only person who enjoys it or not.

In high school, I was the only guy my age who liked Stevie Nicks.
Didn't bother me then, doesn't bother me now. :nod:

And I still don't see how Stevie's weight has any bearing on any of this. We can debate the change in her voice, we can debate the change in her stage performances... and whether or not we like the changes is all a matter of preference... but none of it has anything to do with what she weighs.

I don't even drink coffee... how did I make that mistake?! :shocked:

Ok, off to bed with me. If I were straight, I might dream of Rubenesque women. Instead I'll just dream of Reuben sandwiches! :D

YOU are the only one that keeps mentioning her weight. Her singing is MUCH more of an issue with me. I was merely pointing out that it's hard for a sex symbol to have a post-menopausel career.

I agree. Coffee sucks. Why do you KEEP calling her fat? :shrug:

That's so odd. That was our dinner tonight. I cooked a big corned beef brisket on Sunday, and Reubens were on the menu tonight! They rocked!
Goodnight Johnboy! (oh, I love that joke! ;) ).

I think that someone's appearance/weight is only relevant if they use it themselves. For instance Madonna use her appearance and sexuality as part of her act.

IMO Stevie has NEVER done that so it's not fair to comment on it. No one comments on the males in the band (extra weight, lack of hair) It seems to me that a woman can be forgiven many things but gaining weight or losing her looks that's a no-no.

"Christine McVie! It's jus' not the same without Christine McVie! Where was Christine McVie?!?"

He saved the best for last. :laugh: I have to admit the whole thing was pretty funny, although I can definitely see why Buckingham/Nicks fans wouldn't see the humour in it. I've seen quite a few reviews from casual or non-fans & quite a few of them have been pretty similar to what Tony said.

I hate to always have to agree with Homer, but that is so true. :)

Funny how once again Stevie Nicks is the main subject here again, when it's clearly Lindsey BuckingHam (what a Ham!) who's made totally ridiculous in this review :lol: Can't say I totally disagree with him either.

Quote:

He acted like the kid you always see at the grocery store running around, knocking **** over and screaming at the top of his lungs. You shake your head and wonder where the hell his mother is. Well, at the Fleetwood Mac show, I was wondering where Mrs. BuckingHAM was. I really wanted to see her so that I could shake my head and give here the old, "tsk, tsk, tsk".
Quote:

... Lindsey was all wound up like a Ritalin deprived spastic...
Have to remember that one...:lol:

thanks for the link, David!

The review was correct in parts-it is the Lindsey B show these days pretty much-but some of it I didn't like-let's review the music please and not personalities..

Re: Stevie vs. Chris: women age differently. No fair to compare=:-) I know, I know. Chris has gotten more elegant looking with age and Stevie hasn't. Stevie can still hold that audience in her hand. I've seen her do it, as recently as 2001?2002? (whenever I saw the TISL show, anyway) and she was sick with a cold at the time. I admire Stevie even if she isn't the talent that Lindsey is (in my humble opinion)because of what she's accomplished in her life. To me she shows real character-it's a lot easier to give up than fight drug addiction and depression like she has and have success at it.

Well, the guy did say LB still has his hair done at the Art Garfunkle school of hair or something like that. :laugh:

But I do agree that the physical appearance/aging of women is always more criticized that that of a man. Not fair at all.

Thanks for posting that blog David. It was a hoot. I finally got to a SYW show, albeit, vicariously.

The review made me laugh pretty hard-until the last part where the drunken, middle aged frat boy losers asked if she ate Chris. :distress:
Hey Homer, I'll give you that Stevie isn't the sex symbol she was 30 years ago but she definitely has a lot to bring to the table now.
Something tells me that 30 years ago, the guys at the urinals were drunken frat boy losers standing at a different urinal, maybe at a Jethro Tull concert or something.
Can you get into that? :woohoo:

This has to be the best part:

Quote:

The capper for me was when he and Stevie Nicks did some sort of bullfight/slowdance thing during a song. Stevie still looked pretty messed up, but had changed out of her Jawa costume and into another flowing mess of fabric and Lindsey was all wound up like a Ritalin deprived spastic. During an instrumental passage, he spied her from across the stage and waved at her with both arms. She stood her ground (I think the signals from her brain were slowed by whatever she was on, so she wasn't going to move anyway) and he charged like a gay bull, passing by her running like Pee Wee Herman. He pranced by her a couple of more times with her only barely able to watch him go by with a disinterested gaze. They finally collided and did some bizarre slow dance, the kind you see around 1:45 in the morning at a "drinking bar".
:lol::lol::lol:

Sorry, I thought the eating Chris bit was the FUNNIEST part. Hands down.
